Shuttle Computer Group Inc. has announced its new 4K DS87 digital signage player with improved processing power and increased data transfer efficiency, designed for a wide variety of applications.

The player drives up to three displays simultaneously and can connect to peripherals such as a receipt or label printer, barcode scanner or others, utilizing its serial ports or USB connections, the company said. Combined with Shuttle's customization services, the new DS87 offers a wide range of features that can save integrators time and money, according to Shuttle.

"Our new DS87 with Intel's HD4600 graphics produces stunning 4K images and can support up to three 1080p displays at once," said Marty Lash, director, sales and marketing, Shuttle Computer Group, said in the announcement.

Shuttle said its new DS87 1.3L slim PC is also equipped with the Intel H87 chipset supporting the latest fourth-generation Intel Haswell and Haswell Refresh 65W processors for fast processing performance. With integrated Intel graphics, the player can power 4K/Ultra HD ads or video content.

To meet the diverse demands of industry applications, the robust DS87 provides multiple I/O and high-speed storage interfaces including six USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports that support up to 6 Gbps. The system features a body thickness of only 43 mm and supports international VESA Mount standards designed for easy integration in places with limited space. With a built-in heat pipe cooling system and smart fan, the DS87 can operate nonstop and uses a mere 90 W adapter to ensure high stability and long-term operation, even under the most demanding conditions, the company said.
