9-1. Key features
Standalone and managed operation
The media monitor contains a complete management server making it possible to use
the unit as a standalone system without access to a central server. At any time the unit
can be reconfigured for operation managed by a central server. This makes the MultiQ
digital signage system scalable from a single media monitor or media player to large
systems including thousands of units.
Full HD support
The media monitor supports a wide range of video formats including 720p, 1080i and
1080p.*
*) On screen resolution is limited to SXGA (1280 x 1024 pixels)
Combined local play and live web content retrieval
The media monitor can play locally stored media that is automatically updated from the
central digital signage management system as well as from external sources available
on the Internet. This way high quality video playback may be combined with up to the
minute news, weather and other kinds of updates. The split screen capabilities allows for
mixing local play content with live web content retrieval on the same screen. Local play
saves bandwidth.
Web kiosk feature with virtual keyboards
The media monitor may be used as a web kiosk that allows for full interactivity and
transactional capabilities. This feature makes it possible to interface with e-commerce
and other transactional systems. Standard fully featured virtual keyboards are available
in UK English, French, German, Norwegian, and Danish and in Swedish. The keyboards
are available in two designs. The split screen capability allows for web kiosk content to
be mixed with local play content (such as high performance video clips) on the same
screen.
Local storage website feature
Websites may be stored locally on the media monitor for rapid access and to save
broadband capacity. The media monitor has a web server including data base and PHP
support.
Open Client API – Media monitor interactivity and interconnectivity
The built-in web server and open client API allows for interactive applications to be set
up in a simple way using common web development tools. Interactivity may be realized
as internal requests for playlists and spots as well as external requests to other media
monitors to play specific content.
