Hardware DSA2LS
Feature Highlights
24/7 nonstop operation at 45°C
The Shuttle DSA2LS is officially approved for 24/7 permanent operation. Thanks to its low power consumption and completely passive cooling, this PC runs highly stable making it perfectly suitable for digital signage and POI/POS applications - even at ambient temperatures of up to 45°C.
No fan noise
The Shuttle DSA2LS comes totally fanless making it perfect to be used in noise-sensitive environments such as living rooms, hospitals, libraries etc. As an additional benefit, fanless cases rarely gather dust on the inside and stay cleaner than ones with a fan. In other words, not only is it quiet and low in energy use, but also dust-free and virtually maintenance-free.
Energy-saving
Power consumption mainly depends on system load. The system consumes about 4.2W in idle mode and 6.3W under load (AnTuTu benchmark). Running the device permanently under load would mean an annual consumption of 55 kWh or just 14 Euros on the power bill (25 Euro ct/kWh).
High-quality metal chassis
The digital signage player DSA2LS is built around a robust metal chassis with a resistant powder-coating. The steel used is of 0.8mm thickness just like it is used for body construction for example. Not only this ensures the material withstands high loads of professional applications, it also makes it secure to mount with the included VESA mount.
Internal Power Supply
An internal power supply prevents from cable clutter which is essential especially for professional applications. Hence the DSA2LS features a compact, built-in power supply.
Freescale ARM unterstützt Full HD Video
The Shuttle DSA2LS is equipped with a Freescale i.MX 6 DualLite (i.MX6DL) dual core processor based on the ARM® Cortex™-A9 architecture which offers a good balance of computing power and graphics performance. The integrated hardware graphics accelerator either supports playback of 1080p Full HD content on one monitor or two videos at 720p across two displays in clone mode.
Dual Monitoring Support
As outlined above, the integrated graphics supports multiple displays. Options include HDMI (DVI through optional adapter) and D-Sub/VGA. Viewing content on separate monitors helps improve on capability and productivity.
Power Failure Recovery
The DSA2LS offers an auto recovery feature to protect content in the event of a total power failure. If power is cut, memory data is "parked" and restored when power is applied again. This avoids the risk of data corruption.
Protected Card Reader
The SD card reader is hidden behind a screw retained plastic cover to prevent it from theft and other unwanted access.
VESA Mount
The supplied 75/100mm VESA mount allows the DSA2LS to be installed on to walls or just to be affixed on the rear side of a monitor which is particularly interesting for the industry segment, company buildings, public institutions and Digital Signage applications.
Auto Power-On
Dual Power Sequences: In addition to power switch, the auto power-on feature allows the system to start up automatically when power is applied.
Digital Signage Software
NoviSign's Digital Signage Software is easy to use and intuitive. The software allows any user, even one with very limited IT experience to create, schedule, broadcast and manage Digital Signage campaigns in just a few steps. the Software is designed in 'Layers' from the very basic Image/Video/Flash campaign, up to complex mixture of Image, video, rolling or static text and embedded widgets (Such as: Clock, RSS and YouTube feeds, shapes, backgrounds, logos and more) providing rich environment for live and Dynamic Digital Campaign.
SaaS
NoviSign provides a modern Software as a Service solution for complete digital signage. The cloud-based digital signage software is the perfect way to create and manage campaigns, as it removes backup, server management, software installation and all other IT-related 'headaches.' The sign-up process is simple and self explanatory. From that point, users are connected to 'their personal' area under the NoviSign server and can simply start managing campaigns. NoviSign provides a unique 'White Label' for partners, allowing them to use NoviSign as a 'back office' embedded in their own Web site, completely transparent to their customers, and with special partner's rates.
Editor
NoviSign provides a unique advanced editor for building rich digital campaigns, combining images, video, slideshow, and advanced widgets (such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Ustream and many more) together with the ability to split the screen according to the requirements of each campaign. NoviSign also provides a set of templates, based on the advanced editor that can serve as the basis for each campaign (sorted by industries, such as: academy, cafe and restaurant, food and drinks, public venues, and so on).
Player
NoviSign provides easy-to-install players for Windows and Android. As shown in the tutorial videos, the last stage in creating a digital signage campaign is creating a 'logical player.' This process ends with a 'player key' that is a unique alphanumeric string that defines a given 'logical player' (one or more). This string needs to be copied to the proper location in the player. From then on, any change in the campaign will be (automatically and in less than a minute) reflected on the player. Note: this operation is 'one time event!' There is no need to repeat. Once a player is set with a 'logical player' unique string, all operations are performed by using the NoviSign SaaS platform. The players can be downloaded using the links below. The Android-based player can also be found on the market (Google Play), free of charge.
