BEAVERTON, Ore. — Planar Systems Inc. has announced shipments of the new Planar iS40 integrated digital signage and DS15 integrated kiosk.
"More businesses large and small across different industries, including financial services, gaming, retail and transportation, are recognizing how effective digital signage is at capturing customers' attention and engaging audiences," said Brad Gleeson, Planar's vice president of business development.
As a fully integrated digital-signage system, the Planar iS40 combines a 40-inch LCD, CoolSign iS software, Windows XP processing, optional Wi-Fi features, and all the networking components needed for integrators to set up digital signs throughout multiple locations. The "plug-and-play" appliance only requires AC power and an Ethernet connection for set-up.
Featuring CoolSign, Planar's digital signage software solution, the iS40 allows users to create, display and centrally manage digital signage content being displayed in multiple locations.
The new DS15 offers a kiosk solution that combines hardware and software, and can be placed anywhere there is an electrical outlet. It combines a heat-tempered, scratch-resistant IR touchscreen and high-bright 550 nits display with an operating system and software suite that enables businesses to incorporate their creative assets such as JPG, HTML, Flash, Shockwave and QuickTime content.
