UK-based SignStix, a cloud-based digital engagement platform enabling organizations to create, edit, manage and deploy digital content, announces it will soon launch a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) player module, enabling its software to be installed directly on to a range of commercial display panels from various screen manufacturers, including Toshiba, Phillips and Samsung.

In what the company is calling an all-in-one solution, the SoC solution will facilitate direct integration with selected Toshiba, Samsung and Phillips commercial displays, alleviating the need for an external digital signage player and cabling. This will make the process of installation much simpler and more cost-effective than ever before, helping to reduce ongoing costs and maximizing efficiency, the company says.

“Though our existing SignStix Android player enables best-in-class 4K playback and content delivery, the new panels entering the market have very capable processors built in,”says Nick Fearnley, SignStix's founder and CEO.“Having SignStix on the panel itself is like having Netflix on your TV at home—no additional kit, boxes or cables required and minimal setup—just switch on the panel and start delivering engaging content.

“As there is no software download, nor any servers required, we've now made global digital engagement as easy as using your smartphone, and generally for a much smaller ongoing investment than most solutions you'll find on the market.”

The SoC player module will be available toward the end of September 2016.
