Certified Compatibility for Enhanced Digital Signage Performance
Klocktornet AB, the company behind Dise software, has successfully certified the compatibility of its platform with Advantech’s ARK-DS520. Dise is known for delivering high-quality, dynamic playback, and precise control over content, enabling businesses to communicate effectively across multiple screens with synchronized displays.

The media player also offers a fanless version, utilizing an Intel® Atom™ N455 single-core processor for quieter operation. With its versatile video output interfaces and internal Mini PCIe expansion, the ARK-DS520 provides dual-display functionality in a compact, low-profile design that simplifies installation and integration.
“Combining Dise software with Advantech’s ARK-DS520 media player offers a dynamic solution that meets the diverse needs of digital signage deployments, from retail and transportation to corporate environments,” said a representative from Klocktornet AB. “With Dise’s flexibility and the robust hardware capabilities of Advantech, customers can create engaging visual experiences that are easy to manage and scalable for future growth.”
An Ideal Platform for Digital Signage and Beyond
The Dise and Advantech ARK-DS520 solution is not limited to traditional digital signage; it is also well-suited for self-service kiosks and other applications requiring high-quality graphics and multimedia playback. The dual-display capability and expandability of the ARK-DS520 make it a versatile choice for complex visual setups that require precise control and synchronization across multiple screens.
This integration highlights Advantech’s commitment to providing complete, integrated solutions through strong partnerships with software providers. “With our shared expertise, we aim to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital signage, offering reliable and high-performance platforms for every scenario,” added the representative.
