NEC Display Solutions released a media player for its digital signage solutions, according to a press release. The software comes pre-installed on NEC's Raspberry Pi compute module at no additional charge, delivering a solution for digital display boards in retail, digital menu boards, leisure and corporate communication applications.

The media player provides real-time visual experiences and shows target audiences dynamic, up-to-date information and advertising.

The modular solution can be integrated inside any compatible NEC display offering the Raspberry Pi slot. It enables remote operation of setups with individual as well as multiple screens supported by browser-based playlist and content distribution as well centralized device management.

Organizations can choose various media formats and web content via the browser for all kinds of demands.

"A key feature of our new MediaPlayer is its ability to operate as a hub for partner companies to allow the user a smooth installation of the supported CMS systems — directly from our MediaPlayer," Chris Feldman, product manager, said in the press release. "As requirements and markets change, we can even extend its functionality and enhance performance. This can be done without the need to alter the base infrastructure of the signage solution."

"The software is designed to allow the further addition of third-party applications and integration with their solutions," said Art Marshall, product line manager.

The NEC MediaPlayer comes pre-installed on the Raspberry Pi CM3+ offered by the company. Starting in October 2020, all NEC–MPi bundles will be offered consisting of NEC V series 40-inch to 98-inches and C series 65-inch to 98 inches, which include the Raspberry Pi CM3+ with 32GB internal memory with MediaPlayer pre-installed.
