PPDS, the global distributor of Philips Professional Displays, has unveiled its all-in-one Philips Cast Server to facilitate secure content casting and app streaming in hotel rooms, according to a press release.

Part of a larger expansion of solutions for the hospitality industry, the Philips Cast Server is designed to work with PPDS CMND and hotel PMS software systems, and it features compatibility with Philips MediaSuite (which includes built-in Chromecast) along with the Philips Hospitality TV 4500 series.

The rack-mounted system allows guests to pair their phones with TV sets via QR codes displayed on the television screen. Supported casting options include DAZN, Disney+, Prime, and YouTube, among others.

Philips Cast Server also offers GPDR compliance while providing relevant management and usage statistics with all personal data removed.

"Expectations from hotel guests continue to evolve and, in an online world, satisfaction scores and reviews can play a vital role in the success of any hotel and whether rooms are full or remain vacant," Jeroen Verhaeghe, global business development director for hospitality at PPDS, said in the release. "The in-room TV is playing an increasingly important role in achieving those all-important positive guest experiences and reviews. Every hotel set up is different, and having the options for networking integrations enables more hotels and their guests to enjoy the benefits of our hospitality TVs. That is why we created the Philips Cast Server."
