ISE 2015: 4K FROM TRIPLEPLAY

30 January 2015

The UK’s Tripleplay has announced 4K compatibility for its TripleSign digital signage platform. The solution uses hardware from media player specialist Shuttle to enable its users to add 4K to digital signage deployments.

“While 4K is not yet a mainstream requirement it is widely acknowledged that many businesses will demand the improved quality it can provide for large format display deployments,” says Tripleplay chief executive officer Steve Rickless. “We have taken our time to weigh up options ensuring that when we go to market we have a genuine 4K solution that can be deployed in a cost-effective, low bandwidth impact manner.

“Being hardware agnostic gave us a great advantage over many of our competitors and we have selected a great solution from Shuttle to integrate our digital signage software onto and we expect our customers to be very pleased with the results.”

While still an emerging technology, Rickless says the release of H.265 compression and increasing bandwidth availability makes 4K much more achievable for businesses, and expects increasing prevalence in sports, retail, advertising and enterprise.
