We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
DT Research™, Inc., an industry leader in the development of
information appliances for vertical markets, today announced the
installation of the WebDT SA3000 based on the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo
processor, the latest in their line of signage appliances, at the
Beijing International Airport. In a press conference today in Beijing,
top executives from DT Research, Intel Corporation, and AirMedia will
announce the deployment and showcase their digital signage technology.
As the busiest airport in Asia, based on scheduled seat capacity,
the Beijing airport hosts a highly desirable target audience. AirMedia
will deploy 600 of the SA3000 signage appliances to deliver dynamic,
quickly updatable advertising content shown on 82” and 108” displays to
the over-150,000 travelers who pass through the airport every day.
Dr. Daw Tsai, president of DT Research, noted, “As one of the
busiest airports in the world, it is imperative to provide this
technologically savvy audience with the best possible performance.
Intel’s Core platform enabled us to deliver a state-of-the-art signage
appliance for the AirMedia network. Not only does the WebDT SA3000 offer
enhanced processing performance, but it has low power consumption and
runs cooler than comparable systems.”
“Low power Intel Core 2 Duo processors are ideal for
high-performance signage appliances,” said Joe Jensen, Intel’s General
Manager of the Embedded Computing Division. “Integrating Intel®
architecture into digital signage application designs, such as the WebDT
SA3000, enables a top-quality, optimal visual experience for a
sophisticated market.”
With the WebDT Content Manager software system, available with the
WebDT Signage Appliances, AirMedia is able to remotely manage the
content displayed in the airport. Administrators at AirMedia offices
off-site can schedule playlists, set up content layouts, update last
minute changes, and provide proof-of-play for their customers.
AirMedia’s newest digital signage network will be installed in
Beijing Airport’s recently built Terminal 3, with the first installment
in the baggage claim area, and the second phase at the entrance gates
for the domestic and international departure halls.
The WebDT SA3000 by DT Research features the Intel Core 2 Duo
processor, Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded operating system, and full
high-definition resolution, up to 1920x1080. With options for wireless
networking, the SA3000 supports major media file formats, real-time or
scheduled content playback, flexible screen layouts with multiple zones
and layers, and automatic content download recovery. When connected to a
display, the WebDT Signage Appliance is ready to deliver timely,
targeted communications to capture an audience’s attention at key
decision-making locations.
