Advantech, a provider of embedded platform and integration services, recently announced a strategic alliance with software firm Stinova to target multiple markets including digital signage, self-service kiosks and other graphics-centric applications. Stinova is a global acting provider of digital signage software and content production services.
Advantech and Stinova will jointly present their versatile joint digital signage solution at Viscom Dusseldorf, Oct. 13-15.
“With Stinova we have a software partner that can offer lifetime licenses as well as SaaS, including content services, which offers flexibility to the customers,” said Bas Smeets, Advantech’s business development manager for intelligent services, in the announcement. “Stinova’s partners will be able to order our hardware with a pre-installed image of the Stinova player software for Windows and Linux so that it’s ready for installation upon delivery.”
Advantech’s ION2-based graphics digital signage media player ARK-DS520 has been successfully tested and certified by Stinova. The ARK-DS520 is powered by an Intel Atom D525 dual-core processor with integrated NVIDIA GT218 (ION2) graphic module for full high-definition playback.
“We are excited about the strategic alliance with Advantech on a global scale,” said Franz Hintermayr, CEO of Stinova. “The ARK-DS520 can be a very cost efficient and robust play-out engine that can be managed with our user-friendly and highly scalable digital signage software platform.”
