DFI TECH Debuts the New M100: A 1U Rack Mountable Media Engine to Power Digital Signage
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - DFI
TECH, a leading embedded computing systems provider and integrator,
announces its new M100
1U Media Engine for Digital Signage applications.
"The M100 (Media Engine) was a collaborative effort with Symon, a
leading provider of visual communications deployments," said Andy Lu,
the Director of Business Development for DFI TECH. "Our mutual strengths
in our respective industries along with the understanding of the
customer's requirements have made this product development a success."
Unlike most media players using commercial components, at the core of
the purpose-built M100 lies DFI's own embedded (revision controlled and
extended life cycle) main board. According to Lu,"The M100 gives our
customers the assurance that their applications are running on a truly
reliable and stable, feature-rich hardware platform."
What makes the M100 a true 'Media Engine' as opposed to simply a 'Media
Player' is the robustness of the system, including support for
high-definition video (1080p), DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL2.1. HDTV Tuners
and support for up to 4 video outputs and 8 USB 2.0 ports allow for
maximum connectivity. In addition, the M100 includes a 2.5"
shock-mounted HDD. The M100 supports the use of the Intel Core 2
Duo/Quad processor.
With flexibility of deployment in mind, the M100 can be VESA mounted to
the rear of a display/monitor, used as a free-standing unit or in a rack
environment.
The M100 1U Rack Mount Media Engine was designed to meet today's digital
signage application needs and provide headroom for growth.
DFI TECH will be showing the M100 at KioskCom Self Service Expo from
November 10-11 at the Jacob Javits Center (booth no. 535) in New York
and at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) from November 17-19 (booth no. 458)
at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
