Product Review: Panasonic Embedded Player ETX1312C1000
This week we want to share with you another great Panasonic product we use for our digital signage installations. It is the Panasonic Embedded Player ETX1312C1000 which can only be used with Panasonic Plasma screens with the Slot compartments. These units come with pre-installed Windows Embedded XP or Linux and are just like any other ordinary PC’s except that they allow you to hide these in the actual screens. The current unit only has 1GHz processor which can sometimes Videos with scrolling ticketers to lag, although we’ve heard rumours that there is an new model being released which has much higher CPU specs. The embedded player actually takes up two slot compartments so you need to be aware of this.
Below are the specs from Panasonic’s website:
