Compact yet powerful digital signage media player from IAdea

Schwentinental, 09.10.2017 - Small, inconspicuous, concealable - these are important characteristics for a digital signage player, especially in sales and representation rooms. The MBR-1100, the smallest wireless digital signage player from IAdea Germany, can be easily mounted behind touchscreens, signboards or other displays and, despite its small dimensions, is exceptionally powerful and supports full-motion HD video and smooth graphics playback.

"The MBR-1100 is ideal for applications where size, convenience and cost are important. This makes it perfect for digital menus, campus signage and smaller advertising columns. If you need a powerful player in a small space, the MBR-1100 is the one," explains Björn Chrsitiansen, Managing Director of IAdea Germany.

"The eye eats with you" - especially in a restaurant, this saying is doubly true: Of course the food tastes better when it is presented neatly on the plate and the restaurant ambience also makes an inviting impression. In such a restaurant, it would be fatal to have bulky media players that would spoil the design of the digital signage displays or even make the digital menu absurd due to their unwieldiness. Of course, this applies to almost every application scenario of touchscreens, signboards, design panels, etc. in sales or representation rooms. Another advantage of the MBR-1100 that should not be underestimated is that its small size and cost as well as its robustness and flexibility make it ideal as a digital signage retrofit element for almost any display device that has an HDMI port. For example, existing TVs, flat panel displays, advertising pillars, etc. can be easily upgraded with digital signage applications, or when purchasing new digital signage equipment, much more cost-effective devices can be selected.

The MBR-1100 works with WiFi, hardwired Ethernet connection or by using a USB dongle, the MBR-1100 also acts with 3G/4G cellular. Wired LAN access is always useful when real-time content is required on the displays and the nearest hotspot is not within immediate reach. For all other content, even if the hotspot is located further away, the transmission quality via WiFI is perfectly sufficient thanks to the large and powerful antenna of the MBR-1100. This is also true for corresponding radio coverage with 3G or LTE via the additive USB dongle. Another special feature of the smallest IAdea media player for cramped scenarios is the integrated HDMI extension cable. This allows the MBR-1100 to be positioned anywhere behind a display.

Despite its small size, the MBR-1100 is exceptionally powerful and supports full-motion HD video and smooth graphics playback. Björn Christiansen: "Simply connect the MBR-1100 to the mains, configure the WiFi. Ethernet or 3G/4G connection and you get a powerful Full HD and HTML5-enabled media player that can handle advanced cloud-based content." As with all XDS series media players, the MBR-1100 is also expandable for longer video playback time with a micro SD card that supports up to 32 GBytes.

With general support for HTML5 and SMI, all media players from IAdea Germany can also be customized and personalized at the software level. With these technologies, the media players can display a wide range of content, including images, videos, graphics and high-quality fonts. By using Javascript, it is also possible to display dynamic content such as data from a live database or feed.

IAdea Germany Publishing ProcessThe IAdea CMS "SignApps Express" already included with the players covers most of the content delivery. In addition, proprietary content management systems can usually be integrated without much effort. Those who have special cases or very specific requirements can also fall back on IAdea's partner network.
