Mdina Media will introduce its latest Scala-certified players at the upcoming ScalaInternational Conference in Amsterdam. Mdina is the main sponsor of the event.

The new series consists of 15 embedded, high-quality performance players with different features, the company said. Each shares the AMD Embedded R-Series Accelerated Processing Unit with an AMD Radeon HD7000G integrated graphics card. Mdina Media said it chose MTBF components with a long lifetime, for 24/7 indoor and outdoor operations.

The QS series includes various models:

• The QS1000 A is based on the AMD A70M Controller Hub and powered by an AMD R-464L (35 W TDP) APU. It has DVI, HDMI, RS-232, LAN and USB ports.
• The QS1000 B model has an internal 220-watt power supply.
• The QS1000 C can be equipped with a FirePro W600 or the Radeon embedded E6760 graphics card. And with multiple outputs, it can connect to six HD screens. An R-464L APU is installed to ensure high graphics performance.

• The QS2000 C can also be equipped with an additional graphics card to improve graphics capabilities and multiple-screens connection.
