Introduction
The SpinetiX Hyper Media Players are the first appliance range dedicated to the professional digital signage industry, relied on
worldwide by end-users, integrators and service providers alike. They offer a dependable and effective alternative to PCs and
proprietary software.
HMPs
support tried-and-tested standardized methods to schedule, combine, update, animate, stream and display video, audio, vector
graphics, pictures and text with low acquisition and operational costs. The rich set of functionalities offered by the HMPs simplifies the
implementation, management and maintenance any digital signage installation, large or small.
An
HMP
is not a simple media player, but a Hyper Media player, combining an embedded solution with the connectivity and
functionality of a PC.
Hyper Media
“is a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create
a non-linear medium of information.”
- Wikipedia
A movie or video clip is a typical piece of linear content: it watched from beginning to the end. The content of a web page is a typical
example of non-linear content: multiple media elements are available, dynamically and interactively. Web servers use scripts and
databases to retrieve content on-the-fly, allowing the browser to display “live” information.
The HMP range allows you to achieve the same result on any digital screen or projector and display true
Hyper Media
content exactly
as you want.
Thanks to its compact form factor, robust and dedicated hardware, an HMP turns any digital display into a network device.
