DEVOS System Planning General Description The Discover Video DEVOS system consists of at least one DEVOS or DVExpress server. A typical system also includes some number of other system components such as video encoders, video players, and digital signage display systems.
DEVOS System Planning Digital Signage Digital Signage is provided by the SignStick®, Signage Media Player, or web browser which simply requires an IP connection, either wired or WiFi. Limited Digital Signage is also supported on certain consumer-grade Roku Box/Stick. DEVOS Server(s) The DEVOS Server connects to the network via up to four (4) GigE network connections that are configured for teaming (to increase the network capacity).
DEVOS Cloud DEVOS is available where the server is hosted by Discover Video on the public Internet. In this case, all IP signal flow travels over the customer's public Internet access connection, and special attention should be paid to local capacity issues.
