STRATACACHE's Next Generation Media Player Utilizing Intel Technology On Display At Digital Signage Expo

STRATACACHE's next generation media player will be on display in booth #1104 at Digital Signage Expo (Las Vegas Convention Center), February 25 & 26, 2009. The new SPECTRA S-210 media player is powered by the Intel Atom processor. STRATACACHE worked to integrate the powerful and efficient Atom processor into the SPECTRA S-210—a versatile, full-featured media player.

The Intel Atom processor facilitates the use of advanced SPECTRA software modules that are CPU-intensive, including audience measurement, interactive merchandising, multilayer content playout, bluecasting and 3D gestural controls. Supported on both Windows and Linux, the Intel architecture (IA) lowers the total cost of ownership for end users and speeds the time to market for significant new player features.

"The SPECTRA S-210 represents the first in a series of next generation STRATACACHE media players for 2009 and beyond," says Steve Bannister, STRATACACHE VP of Engineering. "Digital media displays are evolving dramatically to help advertisers and merchants qualify their results, and the SPECTRA S-210 delivers the cutting-edge features and capabilities our customers are demanding for their next generation digital signage networks."

The SPECTRA S-210 is one of the smallest player platforms, measuring 7.5" x 6" x 1.5". The media player is small yet powerful, with multi-use capabilities including digital signage, IP-BTV, live streaming, video on demand, and interactive kiosks. Coupled with the enhanced capacity and performance from the Intel Atom processor, the fanless S-210 provides exceptional reliability, efficiency and control over digital signage networks.

The Atom processor is Intel's smallest chip built with the world's smallest transistors. Newly designed from the ground up on 45nm technology, the Intel Atom processors pack an astounding 47 million transistors on a single chip measuring less than 26mm², making them Intel's smallest and lowest power processors.
