MediaVue Systems
The SureVue2A from MediaVue Systems is the only digital signage player PC that combines fanless design, a small form-factor and the superior video performance of ATI graphics that is strongly favored by Scala.
Unlike commercial PC’s that are designed for limited duty cycles in homes or offices and are built with cost-conscious consumer-grade components, SureVue2A is built with industrial-grade components and is designed to operate in 24x365 service. SureVue2A eliminates fans and conventional mechanical hard drives that are the leading causes of PC failure. The result is a rugged system that delivers more than a 90% improvement in operating reliability compared to commercial PC’s. Built with longevity components, SureVue2A also provides a stable operating platform for application images and major deployments. The passive thermal solution is engineered to operate continuously in harsh environments under sustained maximum loads.
SureVue2A is silent, a distinct advantage in quiet environments such as waiting rooms and small offices. SureVue2A is small enough and light enough to be attached directly to the back of most popular flat panel displays, discretely wall-mounted or built into kiosk enclosures.
Designed and built in the USA. Extensive pre-sales support. Delivered with a factory-installed XP Embedded image and Scala InfoChannel 5 Player. CE and FCC certified. RoHS compliant. A single global support model. Competitive pricing.
