FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 17, 2010 -- San Jose, Calif., Feb. 17--AOpen, the world-leading small-form-factor (SFF) computer system manufacturer and digital signage solution provider has partnered with Access DigiSoft, a global provider of leading digital signage software for intelligent digital signage system integrator and expert deployment of interactive touch screen kiosk signage at the upcoming Digital Signage Expo 2010 in Las Vegas (Feb. 23-25).

The AOpen scalable Digital Engine™ DE965-HG media player combines Core™ 2 Duo power performance with 90W power efficiency in a sleekly styled form factor requiring only 1.25L. The trademark ruggedized chassis and platform versatility of the Digital Engine™ players work together to enable critical networking solutions for Access DigiSoft’s applications in commercial-grade environments. The DE965-HG media player will be demonstrating Access DigiSoft’s software for the i-Kiosk and Magic Mirror.

Access DigiSoft’s i-Kiosk creates a self-service environment where users interact with the kiosk by using the touch screen functionality allowing them to find pertinent information with ease and accuracy. This partnership with AOpen’s media player strengthens both company’s position in a market that calls for cutting edge units designed with space consciousness and maximum flexibility in configuration. Similar to the i-Kiosk, Access DigiSoft’s Magic Mirror will also be running on AOpen’s media player. The Magic Mirror is designed to enhance shopping experience for customers in any retail store, mall or even retail websites. These state of the art products combined with AOpen’s Digital Engine™ will certainly enhance audience interaction all while remaining suitable to many applications and environments.

“Leveraging AOpen’s scalable digital engine, its ruggedized chassis, high performance computing and combining it with our robust yet small in footprint playback software, our i-Kiosk series has been a hit with many well-known large exhibitions in China; i.e. Shenzhen Hi-Tech/ComNET 2009 exhibition where our I-Kiosk served as its only exhibition directory service for the more than 500,000 visitors. On average, each i-Kiosk was used by more than 20,000 people searching for specific information and relevant content,” says Wira Soedarmono, Access DigiSoft's COO, “In order to support such high usage with video, flash, and search engine, we needed to pair our software with a high performance computing mini PC and AOPEN's digital engine was our choice as the top performer with the most stable hardware.”

"Today's digital signage consumers want quick and easy installations with professional technology. At Digital Signage Expo, we will display our solution combining Access DigiSoft’s digital signage software, plus AOpen's ruggedized, commercial-grade hardware," says Dale Tsai, President of AOpen America. "AOpen is an industry leader in this application computing segment with longer lifecycles. This opportunity leverages Access DigiSoft’s expertise in digital signage software, and enables customers access to a total and affordable solution.”
