Kontron DSEK-12 digital signage kit

The Kontron DSEK-12 is designed to help streamline the digital signage development and the evaluation process allowing OEM designers and advertisers alike to reduce the time to deployment and costs. The kit is co-developed with Intel Corporation and with technology from Microsoft to address the growing demand from companies in markets such as retail, transportation and medical that want to use digital signage as a powerful vehicle to interact with customers and gain valuable consumer information in real time.

The Kontron DSEK-12 offers a prevalidated system that features technologies from Kontron, Intel and Microsoft. The kit uses the modular OPS-compliant Kontron media player KOPS800 based on 3rd generation Intel Core processors, which will also be available as a standalone media player. Computer-on-module (COM) high-performance COM Express provides high-end graphics and display support features with a migration path to give developers the scalability required for future digital signage upgrades.

The Kontron DSEK-12 includes demo versions of Flypaper and Scala Content Creation and Content Management Software (CMS), and a 180-day evaluation copy of Microsoft Windows Embedded POSReady 7 (point of sale).

The Kontron DSEK-12 comes with pre-loaded Intel Audience Impression Metrics (Intel AIM Suite). This allows advertising companies to present personalised content to consumers and at the same time gather valuable analytics.
