Alcorn McBride Compact Flash Video Player 7400
The Digital Video MachineTM is a compact MPEG-2 player that's rugged enough for the most demanding applications. It also offers very flexible control capabilities and a wealth of interface options. Video clips are stored on Compact Flash; just copy them from your PC. You can trigger clips using contact closures, playlists, real-time schedules or RS-232. Connect a GPS "mouse" and the video plays automatically as the unit moves through any geographical zones you define.
The Digital Video Machine offers many exciting options: A stereo amplifier gives you two channels at 20 watts per channel whilst the pro-audio module version provides balanced audio out , S/PDIF and Dolby 5.1. The unit offers NTSC/PAL or a optional SMPTE-259M SDI module provides digital video out for the latest technologies in digital distribution. With the optional Ethernet module you can update clips, schedules and GPS coordinates remotely - even using wireless networking. The Digital Video Machine fits almost anywhere and is vibration resistant, so it's equally at home in equipment rooms or on-board vehicles. As flash cards become larger and lower in cost the benefits of non moving parts in 24/7 displays and signage become more evident. A 4gBs flash card will provide a hour of replay time on the 7400 and with 8gBs just around the corner most displays can be accommodated with ease in this ultra reliable format.
