Global supplier of digital signage, IPTV and video streaming software solutions Tripleplay is set to launch 4K compatibility for its TripleSign Digital Signage platform at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam on Feb. 10.

Tripleplay said it has developed a solution that uses technology hardware from media player specialist Shuttle Inc. to enable its users to add 4K to digital signage deployments through the Shuttle DS81 4K product.

"While 4K is not yet a mainstream requirement, it is widely acknowledged that many businesses will demand the improved quality it can provide for large-format display deployments," Tripleplay CEO Steve Rickless said in the announcement. "We have taken our time to weigh up options ensuring that when we go to market we have a genuine 4K solution that can be deployed in a cost-effective, low-bandwidth impact manner.

"Being hardware agnostic gave us a great advantage over many of our competitors and we have selected a great solution from Shuttle to integrate our digital signage software onto and we expect our customers to be very pleased with the results."

The company said that, while 4K is still a burgeoning technology, through the release of H.265 compression and as bandwidth availability increases it will become much more achievable for businesses and is expected to become popular in sports, retail, advertising and enterprise.

Tripleplay solutions are also available in 720p and 1080p, both deployed via Amino's solid-state range of set-top boxes, the company said.
