Adtec Digital announces the signEdje-HD for Digital Signage


NASHVILLE, TN – Adtec Digital announces the immediate release of the signEdje-HD digital video player. The signEdje-HD features MPEG 2 and AVC/H.264 high definition and standard definition video file playback from internal solid state storage or through IP stream decoding. Ideal applications for the signEdje include digital signage, retail (kiosks and point of purchase displays), trade shows, museums and private IP networks.
      The signEdje-HD features a built-in command interface and content scheduler for a variety of successful playback options. Broadcast quality video files can be programmed to play on a loop when the unit receives power, triggered to play according to time, or activated from external control systems via the parallel or serial port. Synchronized playback is also an option, which allows multiple players to be deployed on the same network.
      Whatever the source, the signEdje-HD automatically scales video output resolution to match its target monitor's capabilities up to a 1080i high definition display. Users can broadcast both SD and HD content with the same player. The signEdje routinely sizes video with advanced scalar algorithms 480i up to full HD at 1080i.
      Video content is easily loaded, managed, and prompted for playback using the included mediaControl software which runs over Windows or Mac operating systems. Adtec’s mediaControl application allows broadcasters to manage files, play lists and execute schedules. The software also allows users to view log files and real-time playout data.
      Ron Johnson, VP of Sales and Marketing for Adtec, says, "The signEdje is the ideal solution for digital signage applications where the playing of high quality video is needed. Its advanced features make it suitable for a wide range of applications."
