Panasonic drops new plug-in PC digital signage player

June 5, 2012

Panasonic, a provider of professional display and digital signage solutions, announced today the compatibility and availability of the new PLUGTHA-54 plug-in PC for Panasonic's professional displays and SLOT 2.0 architecture.

This Intel Core i5 processor-powered PC supports all major digital signage software platforms with multiple zones of content — and it was designed to create an "all-in-one" digital signage solution, while providing the flexibility for servicing the PC without dismounting the display from the wall, according to Panasonic.

Panasonic said it worked with leaders in the digital signage software industry and designed the new PC to offer the highest performance available in graphics while supporting additional features for content management not found in past PC card options such as Windows 7 OS, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet port and a 320GB hard drive. The PLUGTHA-54 is simple to configure, install and maintain and is intended for running both large and small 24/7 digital signage networks that require high reliability and a clean, all-in-one design. The device simply slides into the SLOT 2.0 architecture built into any Panasonic professional LF Series LCD or PF Series plasma displays.

The Plug-In PC is primarily for digital signage, but is also capable for driving applications for other uses such as touch panels for wayfinding, customer feedback or games, as well as part of an in-classroom annotation solution.
