Minicom Showcasing Complete Player-to-Screen Distribution at Digital Signage Expo - Germany

Published 30th April 2008

Minicom will be demonstrating the latest additions to its DS Vision™ 3000 family of products at the Digital Signage Expo this coming May 6-8, 2008 at Messe Essen in Essen Germany. The DS Vision™ 3000 is a long range CAT5 based distribution system delivering HD video and stereo-audio content to multiple screens up to 600m/2000ft away. Its unique, fully bidirectional RS-232 serial management capability allows administrators to remotely query and turn on/off remote displays and provides centralized management control.

Minicom is also showcasing its new cutting-edge Receiver Dual Cascade Long Unit (DCL) for the DS Vision™ 3000 that significantly expands the system's potential by supporting not only star configurations, but also daisy chains. With the DCL you can cascade up to ten units in a row enabling easier positioning of screens and reduced cable clutter. In addition, the DCL has double the power of a regular video receiver allowing you to put two back-to-back screens on a single unit while still controlling each screen separately.

David Haar, Vice President for Digital Signage Division at Minicom says: "With its real-time HD video distribution, long distance range and the industry's only GUI-based screen management program, the DS Vision™ 3000 offers the most complete player-to-screen solution for the "DS Last Mile™" of any digital signage network."

Minicom will also be showcasing the PX USB, a palm sized, high-performance, KVM IP Gateway that is ideal for remote support and maintenance of mission critical Digital signage media players.
