The VeUP Advisor services offer high- potential ISV and SaaS businesses regular guidance from VeUP’s industry leading AWS experts to accelerate their growth through architectural advice, go-to-market strategy and alliance management.

Vestel launches large format UHD displays

Vestel Visual Solutions has launched the XN+ and XD+ Series UHD signage displays in large format screen sizes of 75”, 86” and 98”. Built on an ultra-high-speed system on chip (SoC) core running Vestal Android Platform 400 (MB400VS), both ranges make CMS deployment and content management easy while maximising display impact with 500nits (XN+) and 400nits (XD+) brightness. “With digital signage becoming pervasive in retail and leisure, grabbing audience attention means cutting through the visual noise,” said senior product manager Tim Mathews. “With the new XN+ and XD+ models, we have brought our proven high-brightness, UHD resolution display technology to super-sized screens that make the biggest impact in any commercial environment.” Ideal for 24/7 use in retail, entertainment or control rooms, the XN+ Series uses an IPS panel delivering a 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio across a 178-degree viewing angle to maximise audience engagement across the largest commercial spaces. The ultra-narrow bezel and shallow depth minimise visual

hardware to further enhance content impact. The SoC supports Android and HTML-5 systems for CMS providers and integrators to manage content without the cost or complexity of an OPS module and external CMS engine. For further flexibility, the XN+ Series has 1 x HDMI output, 4 x HMDI inputs with CEC, Lan, Wi-Fi and multiple USB sockets for additional hardware sources or cloud content. Featuring a SD slot for additional onboard storage and SPDIF optical audio outputs. Vestel’s display set-up menus and features, such as Signal Failover to create a default banner or logo in case of lost source, daisy-chain compatibility, and easy VESA mounting make installation simple and flexible. The XD+ Series brings all the features of the XN+ units in a more affordable package. Ideal for corporate, public premises, entertainment venues and control rooms, the XD+ Series offers 400nits brightness and 16/7 operation in the same ultra-sharp UHD resolution large screen sizes. The XD+ models in 75”, 86” and 98” screen sizes are available now, with the XN+ 75”, 86” and 98” available to resellers and integrators.
