Hey Folks-
Another neat, lowcost option is Roku Labs new BrightSign: Digital
Sign and Kiosk Controller
http://www.rokulabs.com/digital_brightsign.php
It's only $299 and has loads of sweet features.
I have yet to use one, but I am a big fan of Roku.
Features include:
Automatically plays DVD quality video and audio from CompactFlash card
Automatically plays slide shows in high-definition from CompactFlash
card
BrightScript for powerful interactive displays and kiosks
Decodes standard MPEG2 files up to D1 resolution in real time, and
scales video to a standard-def or high-def output resolution
Supports multiple audio channels and switching between them
Drives standard VGA, Component, S-Video or Composite displays
Two USB host ports for connecting touch screens, keyboards, or speakers
Control port for driving LEDs or accepting button or custom inputs
Create content using industry standard video and photo editing tools
Easy in-field software upgrades via Flash cards
Let me know if anyone has played with one. I'd love to hear about
their experiences.
Best,
Scott
