In December 2012, the industry’s first line of
solid-state digital signage media players with PC-class performance will be marketed
throughout North America by Stampede Presentation Products, Inc., the North American
distributor of BrightSign’s new line of XD digital signage players. The
announcement was made today by Stampede President & COO Kevin Kelly.
“Stampede
is excited to offer the next great advance in digital signage solutions to
customers throughout North America,” said Kelly. “Stampede has a long and proven
history of providing customers with the widest range of solutions to meet every
application need. Now, the introduction of the new BrightSign XD players allows
us to deliver the absolute best in digital signage technology.”
BrightSign’s new XD
products are the industry’s first solid-state players to offer video and other multimedia
capabilities that, if previously possible at all, were only possible with
PC-based solutions. This includes the ability to display Live HDTV broadcast
content using an ATSC/Clear QAM tuner or HDMI input. The ATSC tuner is used to
play cable TV or closed-circuit TV broadcasts, and the HDMI input is used to
play any broadcast content – even HDCP-protected content. All models include an
advanced video decoding engine with superior scaling technology that delivers
pristine 1080p60 video and supports 3D content. The video engine is capable of
decoding two 1080p60 videos or several lower-resolution videos simultaneously.
All models support HTML5, so content creators can use familiar development
tools to create engaging content. In addition, BrightSign’s usual touch-screen
interactivity is enhanced with swipe/gesture control.
“BrightSign’s
revolutionary new media players are an excellent addition to our continually
growing product catalog,” added Kelly. “We strive to find ProAV products that
allow our dealers to deliver the latest, and most cost-effective technology to
their customers. By offering our expertise and extensive product
knowledge, we’re ensuring that the end-user’s experience is as simple as
possible.”
The new XD digital signage
media players are available in three models:
XD230 Networked Player: Powerful video engine capable of dual Full HD 1080p60 decode and
simultaneous content playback from local, networked and streaming sources.
Abundant content support, including HTML5 and 3D content. And UDP network
control for messaging between the BrightSign player and third-party devices.
XD1030 Networked
Interactive Player: All the
features of the XD230, plus S/PDIF output for pure digital and surround-sound
audio, as well as a diverse range of interactive controls such as GPIO, serial,
USB, UDP and mobile devices for engaging interactive displays.
XD1230 Networked
Interactive and Live HDTV Player: Includes all
the features BrightSign offers, plus Live HDTV playback to play content from
any broadcast channel (even HDCP-protected content) via the HDMI input or the
ATSC/Clear QAM tuner.
BrightSign’s new XD
product line will be available from Stampede and the BrightSign Store
in December 2012. The players are backed by a one-year warranty
and include BrightSign’s free BrightAuthor software, which simplifies creating,
publishing, managing and monitoring digital signage displays.
