Videotel Digital recently released what it calls “the market’s first industrial grade seamless auto looping DVD and digital media player combo unit with a built-in scheduler to time content and with interactivity.”
With increased functionality for public venues, the HD2700M’s scheduler is designed to automatically power on, auto play and seamlessly auto loop content. It will also auto-repeat without manual interaction, meaning specified content “can play at integral times throughout the day with no human engagement,” according to the press release. It can also become an interactive signage player with the addition of LED push buttons, motion and proximity sensors.
Timed scheduling of various content files is easily achieved with the creation of a simple text file. The file can have start and stop times and should be loaded on the same DVD, SD or USB as the video files. Using a seven-day calendar, specific playback is triggered by simply inputting specific days of the week. Or, the DVD/media player can be told to run the content all day every day. And leaving no stone unturned, the scheduler can power the Videotel digital media player on and off according to a set time as well.
