VIA's Android Digital Signage System stirring up the industry

Digital Signage display systems have in the past been run on Microsoft Windows or Linux mainly, but with VIA's new ARM DS all-in-one system, Android has become a violable option in the world of digital signage. Here's what media who specialise in this field have said:

DigitalSignageToday.com:
"Developed for the Android operating system, the Energy Star-rated VIA ARM DS is an all-in-one system-ready solution for managing dynamic displays for cost-sensitive, high-volume segments where high performance video and connectivity are paramount for enhanced customer engagement, according to a company press release."

AndroidNewsCentre.com:
"Featuring ergonomic design, ARM Digital Signage system measures 18 x 12 x 2.5 cm and incorporates ARM Cortex A9 SoC. Energy Star rated product aids management of dynamic displays in applications such as kiosks, POS systems, video walls, and menu boards as well as TVOIP, cloud streaming, and out of home advertising. It is also compatible with latest digital content management software."

VIA's Android trend continues with display system

VIA's APC, the $49 little pocket rocket which sold out last week, was the company's first foray into the Android space. Now they're taking the OS to a new segment with the VIA ARM DS, an all-in-one display system.

The ARM Cortex A9 SoC system is 18cm x 12cm x 2.5cm and it's adaptable for use as kiosks, POS systems, video walls, and menu boards to TVOIP, cloud streaming, and Out of Home Advertising. Like many of VIA's products it's set up as a development kit, with software development and support being provided by VIA. That makes it highly customisable.
