DT Research Inc. has announced at InfoComm 2010 the release of the MS800 and MS400, two new digital signage appliances in the WebDT Signage System line, capable of powering content on up to eight and four screens respectively.
The MS800 enables powerful content streaming on anywhere from two to eight displays, and the MS400 powers up to four screens with digital signage content. According to the San Jose, Calif., company, these new WebDT Multi Screen Appliances offer content blending, or tiling, across screens, and along with WebDT Content Manager software, provide a fully integrated system with 1080p over up to eight screens and multi-zone management for up to 16 zones.
The MS800 and MS400 are both powered by the Intel Core i3 processor, with an upgrade option to the Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7, providing full HD (1080p) video quality to every screen. A digital signage grouping of 2x2 displays would offer up to 3840 x 2160 resolution. Running Microsoft Windows operating systems, the WebDT Multi Screen Appliances display content files in native resolution, so images are sharp and true to original properties, even when presented on multiple displays or large screens, maintaining optimal picture quality, according to the company.
The energy-efficient Intel Core processors optimize file execution, enabling the MS800 and MS400 to effectively drive multiple screens with smoothly streaming content, the company noted
The MS800 and MS400 are ideal for applications that require high-resolution on multiple screens including menu boards, flight/transportation information and creative display arrangements. More particularly, they enable dynamic digital signage deployments in spaces where multiple screens are indoors and viewed by audiences at close range, such as shopping malls, entertainment venues and airports.
Each of the screens powered by the MS800 and MS400 can be remotely managed with the WebDT Content Manager software, which is bundled with the appliances. This intuitive interface software is used for organizing, scheduling and deploying content to the digital signage network. The WebDT Content Manager provides multiple zone support and planning for each display, so that a screen can be divided into up to 16 zones with different content in each zone.
With WebDT Content Manager, all screens can show the same content, each screen can play different content or content can be blended over several screens, the company said. The WebDT Content Manager also allows users to create many combinations across multiple screens, such as four zones on two screens, two zones on five screens and hundreds of other possible screen layouts.
