Mantis
The Mantis line of digital media players from Focus Enhancements offers multiple chan-
nels of standard- or high-definition video and 32-bit graphics. Mantis players enable you
to deliver a wide range of digital signage applications across numerous locations, and
they provide the power to support the most creative and cutting-edge digital communica-
tion media elements.

Mantis Digital Media Players

Free of network hang-ups and capacity limitations, Mantis digital media players take the
worry out of loading high-definition video through standard IT networks. Media is trans-
ferred to your Mantis player using the built-in DVD drive, an external hard drive, or a
0/00 network connection. Powered by the Focus Gemini 2 Universal Media Card(s),
Mantis decodes all 8 ATSC formats to the resolution of your choice (up to 080i), sup-
ports 4:3 and 6:9 aspect ratios, and provides precise A/V synchronization using hardware-
enabled Dolby Digital decoding. Mantis MG supports customizable, multiple-monitor
™
installations with fully scalable SD- and HD-channel synchronization. With cross-channel
synchronization, video and audio are synchronized across numerous monitors, making it
possible to create large-scale, wall-style video displays.
Whether you're managing a large-scale digital media network or individual players, Focus has
a solution for you. For a digital media network that spans multiple locations, combine Mantis
with DART Network Media Management Software (optional) and you can manage thousands
of channels, complete with the precision needed to deliver specific content to specific displays
at the right time. If you need precise time/date scheduling and automated, unattended playback
on a smaller scale, Media Messenger
perfect for the job. If you're managing individual players, WebView
to set up, monitor, and control individual players with ease.
Models
Mantis digital media players are available in two models—the Mantis MC Multi-Channel
HD Media Player and the Mantis MG Enterprise Media Gateway.
