NEC launches 2 OPS devices

July 9, 2012

NEC Display Solutions of America has added two Open Pluggable Specification-compliant computers for seamless integration with select NEC large-screen displays and multimedia projectors, according to a company press release.

The OPS platform is an industry-wide standard for the design and development of digital signage to simplify installation and maintenance. These internal PCs can run multiple video formats and high-definition content at 1080p and are targeted for use with digital signage in airports, quick-service restaurants, education, rental and staging, corporate lobbies, health care facilities and retail stores, according to the release.

The new OPS-PCIC family utilizes Intel Sandy Bridge microarchitecture with a 2.5GHz Dual Core i5 CPU and 2GB of RAM. Connectivity is provided through an integrated Ethernet connection, a DisplayPort output and four USB ports. The OPS-PCIC family includes the following models:

• OPS-PCIC-5WH, Windows 7 embedded and 250GB disk drive
• OPS-PCIC-5WS, Windows 7 embedded and 32GB solid state drive

The new models join the OPS-PCIA, OPS-PCAFQ and OPS-PCAF families of OPS PCs, which provide customers with a variety of performance options from entry level to high-end:

• The OPS-PCIA devices utilize a second generation Intel Dual Core ATOM-based processor coupled with an Nvidia ION2 GPU and are ideal for most commercial applications.
• The OPS-PCAFQ devices consist of an AMD Fusion Quad Core APU with integrated ATI graphics. These models are built to handle the most high-end digital content.
• The OPS-PCAF devices operate with AMD's 1.6 GHz Dual Core Fusion processor and integrated ATI graphics. These are ideal for running most types of content.
• All OPS devices are made with a sturdy steel chassis to protect internal components during handling and installation.
