Stinova and NEXCOM Enable Turnkey Solutions on Digital Signage

Landsberg, Germany - Stinova Ltd., developer of Digital Signage software solutions, and Digital Signage appliance provider, NEXCOM announced a partnership to enable turnkey solutions for the rapidly growing Digital Signage market.

This partnership enables new types of products for versatile Digital Signage applications. NEXCOM provides hardware solutions with a variety of unique hardware features that perfectly utilize the software features of Stinova's software editions. The 4-headed player hardware model NDiS 540 is based on the powerful AMD Athlon™ CPU and when used in combination with Stinova's DMP player software edition for Windows allows four independent screens from one player to create small video walls or extended menu boards.

Whilst for entry-level Digital Signage applications within hospitality, education and retail the combination of NEXCOM's AMD based NDiS 162 and Stinova's DMX software edition provides a perfect solution. Additionally, NEXCOM's recently launched NDiS 164 media player provides the high performing media player platform to display multi-content on dual screens. NDiS 164 scales up to dual core AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processors and features high performance AMD 780E embedded chipset with ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 Graphics for advanced graphics capabilities and HD decoding support. These are just a few examples of the multitude of solutions that can be built with the hardware software combinations.

"We are pleased to increase our partner network with NEXCOM as a very well known appliance provider for Digital Signage embedded PC players" said Franz Hintermayr, Managing Director and CEO of Stinova. "We have completed testing and certification on NEXCOM's fan-less appliances that include the models NDiS 162, NDiS 164, NDiS 540, NDiS 541 and successfully ported our Digital Signage software for both Linux and Windows", concluded Hintermayr.

This partnership between Stinova and NEXCOM brings Stinova software to a wider audience with project winning solutions at highly competitive prices. Stinova's WEB based Digital Signage appliance software DMX and DMP offer unprecedented features and functionality that can be used in many different environments such as in-store promotions, Point-of-Sale, Shopping Malls, Public Foyers, Exhibitions, Museums and many others. Stinova's software makes it easy to combine complex media rich content elements with a few simple mouse clicks.

"We see Stinova as a perfect partner jointly targeting Digital Signage customers with a reliable and cost efficient turnkey solution that are truly scalable from a stand-alone appliance up to complex Digital Signage networks" says Peter Yang, President of NEXCOM. "We are pleased to partner with Stinova on a global level and leverage additional opportunities with the unprecedented flexibility of their advanced software solution."

"Stinova Software is particularly well suited for use with NEXCOM's AMD based hardware solutions such as the NDiS 164. This is because the platform utilises the superb graphics capabilities of the ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 graphics with ATI Avivo™ HD technology in combination with the AMD Athlon™ and Phenom™ II CPU's enabling it to smoothly play brilliant, full HD video on single or dual-screen display. The marriage of Nexcom's hardware platforms which are based on cutting edge AMD technology, and Stinova software, is perfect for a wide variety of today's digital signage deployments." said Aurelius Wosylus, Regional Sales Manager EMEA at AMD's Embedded Business Unit.

"The output of the Stinova and NEXCOM partnership will utilize the capabilities of the superb ATI Radeon graphic technology and AMD Athlon™ 64 dual core processors to address the versatile requirements of the digital signage market segment.", added Aurelius Wosylus.
