In the ultra-competitive consumer marketplace – from the retail aisle to the hotel lobby to the transportation hub and beyond – the ability to attract and retain consumers with visually-stunning, engaging multimedia content has a direct impact on the bottom line. Continued innovation in digital signage technology is enabling vendors to further differentiate their products, services, and brands while enhancing customers’ shopping and travel experiences – all of which drives sales.

Among these innovations, 4K graphics processing and multi-display configurability have emerged as must-have digital signage requirements to help ensure that on-premises customers can experience vivid, multimedia immersion that equals or surpasses their home entertainment environments. Digital signage technology is simultaneously evolving to provide seamless interactivity with customers’ mobile devices, complemented with advanced gesture and facial recognition capabilities that can facilitate smoother, more intuitive interaction, and improved data capture ability.

Key AMD Benefits:4K Multimedia Performance Full 4K support enables unparalleled video and graphics quality, with hardware acceleration for 4K video leveraging next-generation video codecs like HEVC/H.265, and multiple 4K display capabilities.1

Multi-display Immersion Advanced AMD Eyefinity technology simplifies the process of designing large multi-screen displays by enabling customers to create a single large surface across a wide array of display configurations. This takes out the complexity of programming large video walls, menu boards, and other such multi-screen digital signage applications.2 A single AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V-Series SOC can power up to four independent displays in brilliant 4K resolution.

Power Efficiency AMD Embedded solutions are available in a range of thermal design powers (TDPs) – with embedded processors that scale to as low as 6W helping designers achieve the optimal performance-per-watt.

Scalable Solutions AMD Embedded solutions enable a range of performance, power, and multi-display options for low-end, midrange, and high-end product designs, with software stack compatibility for streamlined design cycles and low development costs.

Compact Form Factors AMD Embedded solutions are available in form factors and modules optimize space utilization inside and outside the digital signage system, accommodating users’ space constraints and myriad deployment possibilities.

Reduced Complexity and Costs Integrated multi-display support simplifies the software complexity of coding for multiple displays, and can lower OS licensing and BOM costs for multi-screen deployments.

Secure Remote ManagementAMD solutions can enable seamless and secure remote administration of digital signage displays, with anti-tampering safeguards that protect against authorized access.
