New smart signboard "XDS-1390" from IAdea - the 13-inch digital signage all-rounder
(Schwentinental, 15.05.2018) Digital signage specialist IAdea has not only expanded its portfolio of smart signboards, but the current versions of the digital signage all-rounders are now even more robust thanks to hardening of the operating system, enhanced security functions, improved content management and remote maintenance system, as well as the expansion of the IAdea partner ecosystem to include even more specialized use cases.
With the smart signboard "XDS-1390", IAdea presents an all-in-one all-rounder solution for digital signage. With its size of 13 inches, the XDS-1390 is one of the smaller variants in IAdea's portfolio of smart signboards, but is in no way inferior to the larger versions in terms of technology and functionality: It combines HD media playback, rugged design and commercial functionality in stand-alone public display and built-in variants.
With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels as an HD display, for example, the XDS-1390 is ideally equipped for stand-alone environments in bars, restaurants, kiosks, boutiques, waiting rooms and much more. As a built-in variant, it can also be fitted into furniture or into frames with the individual corporate identity. In corporate use, it also plays to its strengths through the numerous partner solutions of the IAdea ecosystem, from interactive signage and conference room technology to infotainment.
The superior image quality, thanks to the latest wide-angle technology, allows customers to view displayed images, text or video in both portrait and landscape formats from virtually any angle. At the same time, the 13-inch Smart Signboard is extremely robust. This is because the robust housing is made of steel and the display surface is made of scratch-resistant tempered glass that is two times stronger for commercial applications.
The internal hardware and software are also designed for robustness, with measures such as a backup battery, failover, hardened Android operating system or security protection against misuse and corruption. For example, the system memory of the fanless XDS-1390 uses 8 GBytes of dedicated, shock-resistant solid-state memory for 24/7 uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, in the event of infrequent failure events such as lightning strikes, etc., time-triggered hardware monitoring ensures automatic recovery without human intervention.
In general, the smart signboards from IAdea Germany are available as "PublicDisplay" for stand-alone environments or as "built-in" for integration into a wide range of furniture or frames. Common to all variants of the XDS series are the numerous connection options via Ethernet, WLAN, USB or Micro-USB and extensions via SD cards, sensors, etc. The displays of the XDS series are also available as interactive, capacitive 10-finger multi-touch systems with optional brightness up to 700 cd.
In addition, no additional cabling is required: simply connect to the power and local network and stream content over the pre-designed layouts using the included "SigApps Express" digital signage software.
"IAdea Germany's new 13-inch XDS-1390 smart signboard is a smart all-in-one digital signage solution, combining media playback, a robust design and commercial functionality in an affordable digital signage solution, while being foolproof to install and remotely controlled at the touch of a button," explains Björn Christiansen, Managing Director of IAdea Germany.
In addition to robust media players as well as brilliant and powerful signboards and video walls, the software for creating and displaying content is crucial. IAdea Germany offers "SignApps Express", a uniform digital signage software that is included free of charge with all media players and signboards from IAdea.
Thanks to a multitude of predefined templates, which can be easily modified and enriched with widgets according to the what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) principle, there are no limits to individual creativity. Content can be based on video, PowerPoint, images, music, high-quality fonts and custom widgets.
With the general support of HTML5 and SMIL, the content to be displayed can be customized and personalized even more. With these technologies, media players can display a wide range of content, such as 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, or from a wide range of social media channels.
In addition, own 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.
For larger installations, especially installations at several locations, the new remote monitoring system "IAdea-Care" has been developed: "IAdeaCare is an intelligent device and management service that ensures 24/7 operation of digital signage solutions. To do this, the remote monitoring service combines and correlates the wealth of real-time tracking information and monitoring data to proactively predict and prioritize potential failures and respond remotely accordingly.
IAdeaCare allows firmware updates, configuration management and troubleshooting remotely. This enables technicians and administrators in the IT or audio-visual (AV) teams of companies, integrators or system houses to ensure the uninterrupted operation of digital signage solutions around the globe by means of predictive analyses.
