Fusion is SpinetiX's new digital signage software application designed to dramatically simplify the implementation of small-scale signage projects. Now installed within every SpinetiX HMP Hyper Media Player, Fusion allows content to be managed via a web browser interface and can therefore be accessed either locally or remotely using a PC, Mac, Linux or iPad platform or indeed any combination of these. Once connection to the Player has been achieved, content can be uploaded, edited and published with minimal technical skill and in record time.
"In the world of digital signage, small-scale and single-location rollouts are very different from one another," says Serge Konter, marketing manager, SpinetiX. "Our objective with Fusion was to embed a digital signage application that works instantly and allows system setup to be completed by the installer or the end user, regardless of their technical expertise or skill level."
Because Fusion is installed within every HMP and no additional software is required, there are no subscription licence fees for users to pay. The user interface features drag-and-drop architecture and there is a choice of languages.
The company's latest media player, the HMP200, uses only 7 watts of power due to its solid state storage design. As well as decoding HD video, the HMP200 can publish data, audio, and dynamic content from RSS feeds, widgets and instant messaging using the above-mentioned Fusion software, which resides inside the unit and is part of the package.
"With Fusion and the HMP200, we are really rounding out our offering to the digital signage marketplace," Konter concludes. "Both products have already been extremely well received at events outside Europe, and we are really looking forward to giving them their EMEA region debut at ISE 2011 in Amsterdam."
