The last step in digital signage
The ultimate out-of-band solution for narrowcasting's last step, Minicom's Video Display System (VDS) is the quickest, most efficient way to move multimedia content from player to multiple displays.
Deliver audio/video from any type of player to multiple display devices
A one-to-many, point-to-multi-point system for transmission of high quality video (Minicom VDS) or audio and video (Minicom AVDS), the system distributes rich multimedia content in real-time from any type of player to multiple display devices.
Set up display units where they are most effective for your business
Minicom VDS provides the flexibility you need for a customized digital signage installation, allowing you to position your display devices up to 110m/360ft from the player. Mount displays strategically in public view; keep the hardware needed to run multimedia content out of public reach.
Digital signage in your place of business for 1/3 the cost
Minicom VDS is one of the more cost effective ways to get a digital signage system up and running in your place of business. For large displays, the cost of plasmas with built-in CPU can be prohibitive. A dedicated, out-of-band system like the Minicom VDS lowers the cost of displays significantly.
