IAdea SMIL-Mediaplayer Germany introduces another top-of-the-line digital signage player

Kiel, 02.04.2013 - The XMP-3450 Live SMIL media player combines an external live video input with the dynamics of HTML5 content to create one of the best digital signage players. An RS-232 port also allows on/off control of professional monitors.

The XMP-3450 is ideal for venues such as sports stadiums or concert halls: it is designed to display live events via analog composite A/V cables. With the same digital signage technology, live TV broadcasts can be shown using a receiver-tuner box (not included). Thanks to the SMIL open programming standard, integrators can quickly incorporate tickers and photo galleries to add thematic designs to the live event.

The XMP-3450 is equipped with the latest wireless LAN technology, effectively reducing installation and deployment costs in the digital signage sector. However, through an external USB module, the XMP-3350 can also be integrated into a 3G mobile network.

The XMP-3450 meets the highest hardware video decoding performance requirements in the industry. Advanced HDMI connectivity delivers video and stereo audio in digital signage applications in full HD at 1080p digital over a single cable. Support for S1 through S12 media profiles defined by POPAI, the industry's standards body, simplifies device selection and content creation. RTSP multicast streaming enables real-time videocasting in stadiums and university facilities.

The SMIL standard is the industry's most widely supported platform for digital scoreboards; delivering superior new hardware while allowing existing management software to continue to be used. IAdea is working with leading management solution suppliers to provide a full suite of connected display panel solutions; devices range from compact full digital display panels to full HD Blu-ray quality video players to meet the needs of all digital signage projects. "As IAdea, we continue on the path of consequently developing our products based on the more than 10,000 installations and the requests expressed by our customers in 2013. When it comes to robustness, digital signage standard and real experience in large networks, a professional network operator really can't go past IAdea SMIL media player solutions," says "Mr. SMIL" Björn Christiansen, who is largely responsible for the success of SMIL media players in Europe.
