Smart digital signage signboard in 27-inch format

(Schwentinental , 28.05.2018) Digital signage specialist IAdea Germany has added new features to its largest variant of smart signboards. The 27-inch XDS-2790 smart signboard, designed as a digital signage all-rounder for stand-alone as well as enterprise environments, now shines with an even more robust hardening of the operating system, enhanced security features as well as improved content management and remote maintenance system. With the continuous expansion of IAdea's partner ecosystem, the XDS-2790 is also specialized for even more use cases.

With the smart signboard "XDS-2790", IAdea Germany presents an all-in-one all-rounder solution for digital signage. With its 27-inch size, the XDS-2790 is the largest variant in IAdea Germany's portfolio of smart signboards.  It combines HD media playback, robust design and commercial functionality in stand-alone public display and built-in variants for enterprise-wide solutions.

With 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution as an HD display, for example, the XDS-2790 is well equipped for stand-alone environments in bars, restaurants, kiosks, boutiques, waiting rooms and 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 outstanding image quality, thanks to the latest wide-angle technology, allows customers to view displayed images, texts or videos in both portrait and landscape format from almost any angle. At the same time, the 27-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-2790 uses 8 GBytes of dedicated, vibration-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 digital signage software "SignApps Express".

"The new 27-inch XDS-2790 smart signboard from IAdea Germany is a smart all-in-one solution for digital signage, 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 the 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 variety of social media channels.

In addition, your 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 maintenance 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 for 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 analytics.
