UCView Centralized players are self-contained all-inclusive digital signage players with a design optimized to minimize physical space. Whereas a standard centralized digital signage rack mount can exist with (at least) a power cord and network cable, UCView players have many components removed for space, power and other considerations while still having all the functional components to be considered a player? A Centralized Digital signage player enclosure, which can hold multiple players and media server, provides services such as power, cooling, networking, various interconnect feeds : Live TV feed, video streaming feed and management. Together, UCView Centralize players and the enclosure, form the Centralized digital signage system.

In a standard UCView Centralized digital signage configuration, 1RU (one rack unit, 19” wide and 1.75” tall) defines the minimum possible size of any equipment. The principal benefit and justification of UCView centralized players relate to lifting this restriction as to minimum size requirements.

UCVIEW IN-STORE CENTRALIZED PLAYER TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

UCView In-store centralized players were developed in response to a critical and growing need in the in-store digital signage deployment: the requirement to increase player’s performance and availability without dramatically increasing the size, cost and management complexity of an ever growing digital signage screens. To keep up with customers demand and because of the space and power demands of traditional players and small factor players, digital signage deployment are being forced to expand their physical plant at an alarming rate.

UCView In-store centralized players. They consolidate powerful and system level functions into a single, integrated chassis and enable the addition of players and other components such live TV and streaming feed technology connections via easy to install players. In-Store centralized player’s technology greatly decreases player maintenance cost, lowers power and cooling costs, eases player’s expansion and simplifies management.

UCView In-store centralized players are not just a new way to package traditional players. Rather, they are integrated systems designed to deliver multimedia content performance in efficient, high density, easy to expand, and easy to manage players.

Centralized Player Benefits

·      Reduced Space Requirements - Greater density provides up to 35 to 45 percent improvement compared to traditional player.

·      Reduced Power Consumption and Improved Power Management - consolidating power supplies into the digital signage centralized chassis reduces the number of separate power supplies needed and reduces the power requirements per player.

·      Lower Management Cost - player consolidation and resource centralization simplifies player’s deployment, management and administration and improves management and control.

·      Simplified Cabling – Digital signage centralized rack mount, while helping consolidate players into a centralized location, create wiring proliferation.

·      Future Proofing Through Modularity - as new processor, communications, storage and interconnect technology becomes available, it can be implemented in players that install into existing equipment, upgrading players operation at a minimum cost and with no disruption of basic player functionality.

·      Easier Physical Deployment - once a centralized digital signage chassis has been installed, adding additional players is merely a matter of sliding in additional player into the chassis. UCView Software management tools simplify the management and reporting functions for players. Redundant power modules and consolidated communication bays simplify integration into centralized digital signage chassis and increase reliability.
