Easy to set up, use, and integrate To get started, you simply connect the iCOMPEL unit to your network and to a display. After booting up, the iCOMPEL unit automatically obtains an IP address from the network. Fixed IP addresses can also be set. iCOMPEL is also easy to use, giving you the flexibility to create attention-getting digital signage without a lot of creative or technical know-how. Even better, iCOMPEL is easy to integrate; it won’t cause IT and security headaches when added to your network. Online content management Install an iCOMPEL V Series Subscriber on your network and manage it via a Web browser. One iCOMPEL Publisher can send media over the network to an iCOMPEL Subscriber-even on the other side of the world. Scalable Scaling from a standalone installation to a multichannel network with many screens is a matter of simply adding more iCOMPEL units to your IT network configuration. Drag-and-drop editing Begin by dragging and dropping media from your computer desktop or a folder to the iCOMPEL media folders on the publisher appliance’s hard disk or use its intuitive interface to browse for files. Multiple content channels The subscribers pull content from a publisher according to a pre-set schedule. This way, you can deliver a high-impact display at the right time in the right place, whether it’s stored media, such as promotional ads, or Web media, including XML and RSS feeds. Security A built-in firewall keeps access limited to authorized users only, and there’s no need to install any third-party software or virus protection. iCOMPEL uses HTTP and HTTPS security protocols, and supports the LDAP authentication protocol and VPN capabilities for secure remote access. Straightforward layouts The software included on the publisher unit enables you to set up screen layouts containing multiple zones for display. Supports unlimited zones for text and images; and, up to 15 zones for HTML. Ability to show two videos simultaneously. Scheduled playlists Every zone in the display layout has its own playlist, to which you can add multiple media files. Each playlist runs in a continuous loop per a pre-set schedule. Different layouts can be scheduled to play at different times of the day. Support for high resolutions iCOMPEL supports HD digital media and video output to 1920 x 1080 resolution. The device comes equipped with HDMI and VGA video outputs.
