Digital signagewith remote
control
Digital signage specialistAirgoohas launcheda compact
wirelessMicroPlayer for cost-conscious retailers,
restaurants, pharmacies,municipalities, schools,
universities,health clubs, beauty salons andother
service-ledorganisations.
The newWirelessHDMIMicroPlayerwithHD video and
Ethernet connectivity converts anyflat panelTVormonitor
into a digital signage display remotelymanaged byAirgoo’s
cloud-based contentmanagement platform.
TheMicroPlayer, powered by an industry-standard
micro-USB port, plugs into theHDMI port of aTV screenor
monitor. Display content ismanaged throughAirgoo’sWeb
interface scheduler,making it simpler andmore affordable
than PCorMac-based digital signage systems.
Content can be relayed to the unit, storedon its 4GB
internalmemory and playedon demand. Local storage
removes the need for continual video streaming and ensures
content can be displayed even if there is a problemwith
network or internet connectivity.
Pascal Cintract,managing director ofAirgooWireless
Media, is positioning theMicroPlayer as a cost-effective
solution for any business thatwouldnot normally use digital
signage due tohigh costs,whether they have one display or
100 spread acrossmultiple sites.
“Many customer-facing businesses nowoperate on a
seven-day/extendedhours basis.Traditional digital signage
systems can assist these businesses in relaying timely
information to their customers, but to date they have been
relatively expensive,”he said.
“The compactWirelessMicroPlayer changes the ballgame
by giving customer-facing businesses the opportunity to tap
the power of cloud computing, and the connectivity of an
advancedUSB/HDMI unit, to dramatically reduce the cost of
deploying andmaintaining a digital signage system.”
