Digital signage media player makes prayer more powerful

August 24, 2016

Videotel Digital, a manufacturer of industrial digital signage media players, industrial DVD players and interactive digital signage solutions has added a mega-church to its list of clients, according to a company press release.

Crossroads Church in Ohio installed the company's VP71XD Industrial Digital Signage Media Player for a dynamic annual event based on the power of prayer,

"Annually, we operate what we call a 'Prayer Experience' which is best described as a temporary art installation," said Patrick Buescher, a representative of Crossroads Church. "There are many rooms through this audio-guided tour that have different environments, some of which use projection mapping as an element. After running into issues with computer software playback, we chose to find the simplest solution available. We needed one box that just plays a video on a loop reliably. If there were a power outage, it would simply boot back up and do its job without intervention. We are very happy with the reliability, quality, and simplicity of the players we purchased from Videotel Digital. Each unit replaced $1,800 in computers and software and has been significantly more reliable and user-friendly."

The VP71XD has a built-in scheduler that allows users to display content at specific times of the day. Looping without intervention after it automatically turns on, the industrial media player has a proven failure-free lifespan of more than six years, according to the release. The VP71XD can also make content interactive by playing it from a USB cable or SD card. To do this, the media player will connect to an interplay module and LED push buttons, motion sensors and proximity sensors.
