Gather, distribute, and manage digital signage content easily with our updated iCOMPEL HD digital signage network appliance.
Ideal for both large organizations and small offices, the iCOMPEL HD works right out of the box with all software preinstalled—and no recurring licensing fees to deal with later. Plus software updates are free for a lower cost of ownership.
Because the iCOMPEL appliance supports many media formats, you can combine video with scrolling text, photos, Flash, and Web content. In addition to HTML, XML, and RSS media, it handles MPEG, AVI, QuickTime®, and PowerPoint® media; JPEG, GIF, and TIFF images; and WAV and MP3 audio.
Install the iCOMPEL on your network and manage it via a browser from any PC or Mac® on a WAN. One iCOMPEL unit used as a publisher can send media over the network to an iCOMPEL unit functioning as a subscriber—even on the other side of the world.
Scaling from a standalone installation to a multichannel network with many screens is a matter of simply adding more iCOMPEL units to your standard IT network configuration.
Use to play or publish, or as a subscriber
The iCOMPEL HD works one of three ways:
• As a standalone player, publishing to itself.
• As a publisher, through which you can create layouts, manage playlists, then publish one or more channels to itself as an FTP client or to a USB storage device or an external FTP client. It sends a snapshot of all required files to an FTP file server at a preconfigured location in your attached IP network.
• As a subscriber, pulling down new content and instructions from an FTP client, USB storage device, or another iCOMPEL unit.
Setup is easy. Just connect it to your network and to an LCD or other AV display device, power it up, and once it has an IP address from the network, you use a browser to access the iCOMPEL unit via a DHCP server. Fixed IP addresses can also be set.
To upload media, drag and drop from your PC or Mac desktop or folder to the iCOMPEL media folders on the appliance’s internal hard disk or use the iCOMPEL user interface to browse for and upload the media files.
Features unique to this iCOMPEL
The latest evolution of the iCOMPEL platform includes eight versions spanning three families. All feature a maximum video output resolution of 2048 x 1536 for vivid digital displays.
The families mostly differ in their processing speeds, media storage capabilities, and chassis size, as well as if they have DVI connectors or not, the number of USB ports, and how many on-screen video zones are supported. Some of the higher-end models also have a built-in video capture card with S-Video and Composite video ports for connecting to a CATV or satellite set-top box.
The model featured here (ICOMP02-H) is our compact HD version. It features a 1.6-GHz Intel Atom™ processor and 160 GB, 5400 RPM HDD storage integrated into unit itself—no external drives required for media. The ICOMP02-H is designed for VESA mounting on the back of a screen.
The iCOMPEL HD works as both a central media publisher and a subscriber unit. However, we also offer a economically priced subscriber-only model (ICOMP03-H or ICOMP03-S) that you may want to use at a remote screen instead.
Additionally, the ICOMP02-H has both digital DVI-D video and analog VGA video ports, and three USB ports. It supports two video zones and, as with all iCOMPEL units, supports 15 zones for HTML content, and unlimited zones for text, stills, and audio. All zones can be displayed with transparency.
Need a ruggedized version of this compact ICOMPEL with a fanless, solid-state design? Then see our ICOMP02-S model. It has a 32 GB solid-state drive and strongly suits use in areas with lots of equipment vibration. It is also available in a subsciber-only version (ICOMP03-S).
Includes sophisticated layout tools
All iCOMPEL units used in a publisher role have the capability to produce and control multiple content channels. Productivity tools enable you to deliver a high-impact display at the right time in the right place, whether it’s stored media, such as promotional ads, or Web media, including XML and RSS feeds.
The included software comes with a number of free layouts, so you can be up and running, displaying your choice of content in a professionally designed format within minutes.
Or you can create your own. The intuitive layout and design tool makes it easy to create and modify layouts. Adjust, resize, position, and layer zones with a simple click and drag! Also, you can manually set pixel or percentage measurements to achieve pixel-accurate alignment or lock a movie zone to a desired aspect ratio (16:9, 5:4, or 4:3).
Set up one or more screen layouts containing one or more rectangular zones for display. Every zone in the display layout has its own playlist, to which you can add multiple stored media files. Each playlist runs in a continuous loop per a preset schedule. Different layouts can be scheduled to play at different times of the day.
You can also add a video file stored on the internal disk, show text from an internal feed, and more. What’s more, RSS subscriber features enable you to automatically collect and display text crawl feeds from the Internet—which is great for streaming news or stock tickers.
