Universal and intelligent complete design for digital signage

Schwentinental, 15.01.2018 - With the smart signboard "XDS-2190", IAdea Germany presents an all-in-one all-rounder solution for DigitalSignage. Available in sizes from 13 to 27 inches, the signboard combines HD media playback, robust design and commercial functionality in stand-alone public display and built-in variants.

Its superior image quality, thanks to the latest wide-angle technology, allows customers to view displayed images, text or video from virtually any angle in both portrait and landscape formats. This makes the XDS-2190, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels as an HD display, ideally suited 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.

At the same time, the XDS-2190 is extremely robust. The robust housing is made of steel and the display surface is made of scratch-resistant tempered glass, which is twice as strong 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 and security protection against misuse and corruption. For example, the system memory of the fanless XDS-2190 uses 8 GBytes of dedicated, shock-resistant solid-state memory for 24/7 uninterrupted operation. Timed hardware monitoring also ensures, in the event of infrequent failure events such as lightning strikes, etc., automatic recovery without human intervention.

The smart signboard from IAdea Germany is available in different variants in sizes from 13 to 27 inches: as "XDS-2190-PublicDisplay" for stand-alone environments or as "XDS-2190-Installation" for integration into diverse furniture or frames. Both variants are also available as interactive, capacitive 10-finger multi-touch systems with optional brightness up to 700 cd.

Common to all variants of the XDS-2190 series is the wide range of connection options via Ethernet, WLAN, USB or micro-USB and extensions via SD cards, sensors, etc. In addition, no further cabling is required: simply connect to the power and local network and stream content via the ready-made layouts using the "SigApps Express" digital signage software included in the scope of delivery.

"IAdea Germany's XDS-2190 smart signboard 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 also included free of charge with all IAdea media players and signboards.

"Digital signage software for creating and playing out content should be fast, preferably in real time, and above all child's play to use," explains Björn Christiansen, Managing Director of IAdea Germany. Thanks to a large number of predefined templates that 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, own content management systems can usually be integrated without much effort. If you have special cases or very specific requirements, you can also make use of IAdea's partner network.
