While many standard video walls, such as Samsung’s UDE-B and UDE-C, require a variety of additional equipment and programs- including a PC and media player for information processing, software for content management and a device for source switching, Samsung’s Signage Player Box addresses all these needs in a small, yet powerful, device to ensure seamless connectivity and simplification. This device integration reduces setup cost and complexity compared to video walls that require the use of individual devices and complex cable arrangement to achieve the same level of functionality.

The Signage Player Box offers a PC and media player function through its embedded chip, Samsung SMART Signage Platform (SSSP) – allowing the all-in-one, versatile box to transform the common video walls with its powerful Quad Core CPU for faster information processing and easy-to-use content management performance with MagicInfo Player S3. The enhanced performance, flexibility and convenience of Samsung’s Signage Player Box enable you to improve your information delivery and boost revenue with brilliant, large-scale digital signage – all in a cost-efficient manner.

Powered by the 3rd Generation SSSP, Samsung’s Signage Player Box transforms common video walls into powerful displays without additional PCs and set-back boxes (SBBs). The all-in-one solution allows content managers to easily monitor and control all displays by simply connecting the first display with the Signage Player Box and then connecting all other displays by Display Port daisy chain. With common video walls, this level of management is not possible without a bundled LAN (RJ45) connection and server license fee. The device’s connectivity extends across display configurations up to 10×10, resulting in a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) by eliminating installation costs and the need to purchase LAN cables and license fees. Similarly, the device enables easy switching between different content sources, such as a TV set-top box (STB) or DVD player. Along with optimized control, the device’s integration of advanced technologies further enhances content management. Unlike the location and sizing restrictions experienced with the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) function of common video walls, there are no limitations on the placement or size of PiP screens with video walls using the Signage Player Box, including PiP screens being displayed across the bezel. The device’s expanded connective enables a variety of content to be shown using the PiP screen, including TV and promotional messaging, for added convenience. To ensure installation is kept simple, clean and tidy, the Signage Player Box also features a slide-in-module (SIM)-type design that makes it easy to slide the device inside the video wall display.
