Noventri Announces the Release of New Digital Signage Solution ­ the Small, but Powerful SF-100™

Noventri has taken product diversification up a notch with the addition of the SF-100 to its line of digital signage solutions. This compact unit features DVI resolutions of up to 1920×1200 for a true HD experience!

The SF-100 is the result of an ongoing effort to develop a low-cost VGA Extender. Previously, Noventri used VGA extenders to push digital signage content to monitors over CAT5 within a network. This resulted in degradation of images or lack of high-quality HD. Rather than using extenders Noventri’s Research and Development Department developed the SF-100, which simply brings high-resolution images directly to the digital signs.

The SF-100 is a small digital signage player that resides on the posterior of digital signage screens and contains a chip designed by Noventri that allows for HD images to be sent to the display through Noventri’s proprietary codec, SCODEC™.

“We spent a lot of time developing a player that was low-cost enough to have a player for each screen when planning a large deployment,” states Andrew Hoffman, VP at Noventri. “With the SF-100 you get to maximize your quality. This product creates a wedge in the industry since it lends itself to many ‘simple signage’ deployments or ‘all-in-one’ solutions due to its size and cost.”

The SF-100 is powered by Noventri Designer ™ and Manager™ software to allow real time editing/changing and rendering of content. Each unit weighs just half a pound and is designed to easily mount on new and existing flat panel displays.

The SF-100 features include:

• Text Creation: Full text control (font, color, size), broadcast quality anti-aliased text, external data source text, and automatic text generation from data source.
