Gather, distribute, and manage digital signage content easily with our updated iCOMPEL HD Plus High-Speed digital signage network appliance.

Ideal for both large organizations and small offices, the iCOMPEL HD Plus High-Speed works right out of the box with all software preinstalled—and no recurring licensing fees to deal with later. Plus software updates are free for a lower cost of ownership.

Because the iCOMPEL appliance supports many media formats, you can combine video with scrolling text, photos, Flash, and Web content. In addition to HTML, XML, and RSS media, it handles MPEG, AVI, QuickTime®, and PowerPoint® media; JPEG, GIF, and TIFF images; and WAV and MP3 audio.

Install the iCOMPEL on your network and manage it via a browser from any PC or Mac® on a WAN. One iCOMPEL unit used as a publisher can send media over the network to an iCOMPEL unit functioning as a subscriber—even on the other side of the world.

Scaling from a standalone installation to a multichannel network with many screens is a matter of simply adding more iCOMPEL units to your standard IT network configuration.

Use to play or publish, or as a subscriber
The iCOMPEL HD Plus High-Speed works one of three ways:
• As a standalone player, publishing to itself.
• As a publisher, through which you can create layouts, manage playlists, then publish one or more channels to itself as an FTP client or to a USB storage device or an external FTP client. It sends a snapshot of all required files to an FTP file server at a preconfigured location in your attached IP network.
• As a subscriber, pulling down new content and instructions from an FTP client, USB storage device, or another iCOMPEL unit.

Setup is easy. Just connect it to your network and to an LCD or other AV display device, power it up, and once it has an IP address from the network, you use a browser to access the iCOMPEL unit via a DHCP server. Fixed IP addresses can also be set.

To upload media, drag and drop from your PC or Mac desktop or folder to the iCOMPEL media folders on the appliance’s internal hard disk or use the iCOMPEL user interface to browse for and upload the media files.
