New Network Digital Signage Media Player Featuring PowerPoint 2007 for AV Resellers and System Integrators

Irvine, CA -- AIS introduces a new plug-and-play digital signage media player, eliminating the need for a complicated PC. The compact form factor unit can play PowerPoint 2007 (.pptx), videos, and images files directly from a removable industrial compact flash card (up to 8GB). A completely fan-less, no moving parts design makes for a reliable, quiet, lower power consumption, and cost-effective unit. AIS’ solutions comes packaged with user friendly content management software, giving small to medium size businesses the ability to easily control and manage content.

AIS’ media engine provides of variety of presentation options from personalized visitor greetings, information displays, and retail advertising, conference rooms, retail LCD signage, and entertainment venues. The easy-to-deploy unit connects to any digital monitors, including NEC Displays, which has registered AIS as a Digital Signage solutions partner. Content is updated via a Local Area Network for easy centralized management; when not connected to a network, updating content is as simple as loading files onto a USB thumb drive and plugging into the USB port on the machine.

The challenges facing dynamic digital signage implementation have been the price of components, complexity of network integration, and content management. AIS has answered the challenges by providing a bundled solution including all the components together into a cost-effective and visually appealing electronic signage solution that can be managed easily by end users who have a basic understanding of PowerPoint. By adding PowerPoint support, it allows anyone to create compelling media content in minutes and instantly publish content to multiple signage players for immediate results.

Pricing starts at $199 for Value-Add-Resellers (VAR’s) and can be purchased through ASI Corp. or D&H Distribution.
