Digital Signage Everywhere
Digital Signage is a trend that is appearing everywhere. It’s common to see a variety of commercial digital signage applications in public areas, including airports, train stations or even on buses. Apart from being used to display advertisements—replacing traditional paper, email or formal announcements—it has become a new medium in message delivery and information updates. Another trend popularized by the internet, is colorful and dynamic media delivery. Today’s audiences are increasingly only attracted to dynamic content. As a result, in many industries including services, retail, healthcare, and hospitality, still images and posters have been replaced by panels displaying multimedia content. Responding to this trend, Advantech has powered thousands of digital signs across retail, healthcare, transportation and other enterprise organizations.
Advantech digital signage appliances have been at the forefront of technology in the industry, driving innovation and enabling organizations to build digital signage networks. Our reliable, stable, and highly scalable products ensure 24x7 operations and our complete solution packages saves installation time and money. We also bring new value to this technology with interactive and intelligent video analysis integration, leading the market to new levels.
Turn-key Digital Signage Package 
AiS provides two turn-key digital signage packages to the market: an entry-level and advanced level. The entry-level package is a RISC-based player using a link-based digital signage central management application called ‘Advantech Manager Express’. This package is dedicated for standalone players or small-scale networks. Access to up to 50 clients per installation is possible without the need for a server. With a simple three step setup, content can easily be scheduled and assigned to the player. In addition to deployment over a LAN, content can also be saved to USB or CF card for standalone use. One of the players, the DVS-2130 supports full HD resolution, making it a perfect entry-level digital signage product for first time use. Another player is the DVS-3400, a web-based, turn-key solution, which supports various media formats, multi-zones, and HD 1080p resolution with live demo. With a powerful processor, it can satisfy many complicated applications.
