Shuttle Computer Group Inc. announced its new DS77U series of digital signage players, shown at Digital Signage Expo (DSE) in Las Vegas, March 23-30, 2017. The DS77U series, designed for supporting both 12-volts and 19-volts inputs, is an industry-grade platform for use in commercial applications that require long-term operations like in automotive, digital signage, kiosks and more.
The 1.3-liter Shuttle DS77U/U3/U5/U7 product series is based on Intel’s latest Kaby Lake processor for longer product life cycles. They are ultra-slim PCs powered by 7th generation Intel Celeron dual-core processors with a powerful graphics engine capable of playing 4K content for a rich, crystal clear video experience.
“The small form factor and three-display capability makes the DS77U series perfect for a myriad of applications like digital signage, huddle rooms, and other multi-media purposes,” said Robert Garcia, product manager, Shuttle Computer Group.
Shuttle’s fanless design eliminates the power consumption required by a fan as well as the cost of replacing fans. Use with solid-state disks can create an operational platform completely free of noise, a vital feature for some applications where a hum can be annoying, like in a museum or library.
With a slim profile of less than 40 mm and international VESA mounting standards, this series allows users to choose the most appropriate placement configuration in various environments. Wi-Fi is standard and the computers are available as custom systems or barebones for maximum installation options.
The DS77U Series accepts standard 2.5-inch drives and utilizes Dual Channel memory slots to achieve 32GB Max DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM. Connectivity is optimized with Dual HDMI and One DisplayPort video output as well as two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0 ports, one RS232/422/485, and one additional RS232 connections.
