QUICK START GUIDE
MediaStar 782-DS Digital Signage Player
The MediaStar 782-DS Digital Signage Player
is a networked video and audio media player,
specifically designed for digital signage
applications. It outputs HD pictures made up
from a wide variety of your own promotional
or corporate images, web pages, crawls,
videos and live IP TV streams.
The 782-DS comes with 'Creator' and 'Tools' software
packages that allow you compose your own screen
content and then load it onto 782-DS units over a LAN
for wide scale corporate deployments. Your multi-page
presentations are then played out 24/7 according to
your schedule, with live IP TV feeds, dynamic web page
refreshes and RSS updates so you can show the latest
breaking corporate or international news headlines
on your screens. On-screen data updates can also
be integrated into your own corporate information
systems if required.
