In the previous article, we talked about Intel’s OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) and how screen and digital signage player manufacturers are fast adopting this technology.
The main advantages of OPS:[fancylist]
is that you don’t need to extend video signal from the player to a screen that is far away by using expensive extenders.
future-proof the technology since players and screens can be upgraded independently
allow manufacturers to deply interchange systems faster and in higher volumens
lower the costs for development and implementation
[/fancylist]
We decided to help the digital signage community by compiling a list of OPS digital signage players and screens. At the moment it’s not comprehensive but we hope to update this on a regular basis.
