Value Platform with Affordable Pricing
Advantech ARK-DS303 is a low-cost, compact, energy-saving, fanless, digital signage media player that uses Intels 945GSE chipset with Intel Atom processor N270. ARK-DS303 can support 720p high-definition video playback via its MPEG-2 decoder integrated into the 945GSE chipsetall at a respectable low power consumption level of around 7 Watts. For applications that require full HD 1080p video playback, an optionalBroadcom HD accelerator can be further integrated with ARK-DS303 via the miniPCIe slot. ARK-DS303 can support dual content output via the HDMI and VGA ports, and there are sufficient I/O interface including four USB 2.0, and one COM port for adequate peripheral connectivity.
Easy integration and Installation
ARK-DS303 is a complete system with 1 GB DDR2 memory and 160 GB hard disc drive pre-installed; with a barebone option also available. Antenna connectors for WLAN and WAN (GSM/HSPDA) are reserved. For signage applications, having the flexibility to integrate TV programs to provide real-time news or entertainment is crucial. To answer this demand, ARK-DS303 can have an additional TV tuner module attached on the side; while the on-board miniPCIe slot can be reserved for either an HD decoding module or a WLAN module. The VESA mounting bracket for ARK-DS303 allows for easy installation to attach ARK-DS303 discretely behind an LCD display.
Flexible with customized BIOS design
Unlike consumer-grade, off-the-shelf, thin-client products, Advantech ARK-DS303 comes with specific BIOS settings for digital signage applications, such as system Wake-on-LAN and Power On after Power Failuresetting. The embedded watchdog timer allows for near 100% uptime, and the EWF function can help the system recover from fatal errors or system crashes.
