NEW YORK, NY — (MARKET WIRE) — 02/21/2008 -- AGN Professional (AGNPRO) announced the launch of its next generation high-definition solid state media player, the miniBox™ HD700-S Solo Edition which provides a simple, cost effective way to deliver high performance 1080p video with simple plug and play functionality.

Designed with AGNPRO’s signature “out of the box” features, the miniBox™ HD700-S allows customers to update content using a removable CompactFlash card to autoloop or schedule content playback.  The built-in browser-based interface is used for device configuration and networked file uploads of content and playlists over a local or wide area network.

“As more digital signage deployments deploy high-definition video, operators need an cost-effective, easy-to-use device that delivers the stunning visual quality of 1080p with the rock-solid reliability of solid-state diskless and fanless design”, said Minson Chen, President & CEO of AGNPRO.

miniBox™ HD700-S delivers full 1080p high-definition video via HDMI, DVI, Analog RGB (VGA) and component video outputs. Compatible file formats include MPEG 1/2/4, WMV9, H.264 and JPEG. Standard-definition and 720p content is also supported as well as stereo audio. Onboard Ethernet, USB, and serial/RS-232 ports provide connectivity.

The compact unit weighs less than two pounds and has no hard drive, fan or other moving parts, ensuring high reliability in the field. All on-board software is embedded firmware and media files are stored on an inexpensive removable CompactFlash card in a secured slot.

The miniBox™ HD700-S Solo Edition is on display at the Digital Signage Expo New Product Pavilion at the Las Vegas Convention Center Jan 27 – 28, 2008). Visit Booth 151 at the Digital Signage Expo for a demonstration or visit www.agnpro.com
