October 23, 2013

NEXCOM has a newly minted OPS digital signage media player that comes with advanced graphics capabilities and remote manageability, according to a company release.

The NEXCOM NDiS M323 is designed to be a cost-effective OPS-compliant 1080P media player that integrates advanced graphics capability and remote manageability, bringing budget conscious users the premium features mostly found on premium-priced players, the company said. Based on the Intel Celeron Processor J1900 (formerly codenamed "Bay Trail"), the NDiS M323 features quad-core Intel architecture processor, accelerated multimedia performance, OPS-compliant form factor, remote maintenance and repair function, and peripheral expansion.

This OPS media player is designed to facilitate the adoption and management of interactive media solutions ranging from digital signage to digital whiteboards, the company said.

To enhance system responsiveness, NEXCOM said it has built the NDiS M323 with quad-core SoC Intel Celeron Processor J1850 integrated with Intel Gen 7 Graphics. This 1080P media player supports Microsoft DirectX 11 and broad video formats. Combining up to 8GB of DDR3 1333 memory, the NDiS M323 is capable of fast video conversion and sharp 3D graphics processing to play multiple high-definition videos on two displays while running applications in the background. Using Intel Turbo Boost Technology, this 1080P media player can provide extra processing power to facilitate interactions between retailers and customers, teachers and students, and meeting attendees, the company said.

As an OPS-compliant media player, the NDiS M323 can be plugged into OPS-compliant devices without using cables, simplifying hardware integration and increasing hardware compatibility. In addition, the NDiS M323 offers out-of-band remote manageability. With an Internet connection, the player can be remotely monitored, recovered and reset even when the power is off or operating system not loaded.

The NDiS M323 also provides one mini-PCIe expansion slot integrated with SIM socket. The NDiS M323 can be configured to support multiple choices of wireless connectivity, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and LTE, or to connect to other audio/video sources such as radio, TV tuner and analog videos. The NDiS M323 also has four USB 3.0 ports to connect to an array of off-the-shelf peripherals, including NFC readers and webcams.
