In Feb. 2010, AOpen and MMD, the company behind Philips-branded LCD monitors and public signage solutions, are going to exhibit the latest and most flexible digital signage solution Smart Insert at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE).

Smart Insert is a revolutionary solution for the digital signage market. It separates digital signage in display and media players. Owners of digital signage gear can adapt entry level media player to minimize starting costs, and upgrade to high performance media players when high definition content playback is needed. Even more, the Smart Insert can reduce maintenance fees and time: when one media player goes wrong, just replace the media player to continue broadcasting. Or change the media player hardware and software system in the shortest time.

As the leading digital signage media player provider in the world, AOpen’s Digital Engine series DE2700, DE45-PRO and DE7000 passed the Smart Insert adaption tests. The DE2700 is an excellent option to start your digital signage at economic cost. The DE45-PRO and DE7000 series give you high performance systems with 1080P video playback capability. AOpen also supplies fanless Digital Engine models for certain applications to prevent dust and maintenance problems.

With Mobile on Desktop technology (MoDT) and support from Intel, AOpen Digital Engine is compact (200mm x 200mm x 60mm or less) and build with the latest computing technology such as Intel Core 2 Due CPU, DDRIII memory and nVIDIA ION chipset, giving you performance options for all kinds of fancy content. For durable and stable operation, each AOpen Digital Engine has 40,000 MTBF hours under its belt and has passed 8G operation shock and 0.5Grms operation vibration tests.

Philips Smart Insert is currently available on the following models: BDL4251V, BDL5231V. From March 2010 it will be available on the BDL4230E and on the BDL6551V from April 2010.
