Product Description
The miniBox NXP includes all the functionality of the miniBox NMP, but adds the ability to interact with other devices, such as touch screens, bar code scanners, IR sensor and others. This opens up many more applications for the product.

Interactivity will allow the customer to have a more enhanced shopping experience which research has shown to have a positive effect on buying patterns. Perfect for product promotion, product information kiosks, way-finding directories, restaurant order menu screens, and many others.

The miniBox NXP Interactive media player will drive touch screens without complex application software. Just text scripts based on templates we can provide to define mapping of buttons and logic. The content (e.g. directory info, way-finding maps or video content) can then be updated or scheduled to refresh on a regular basis through web based control software to keep it current.

Video content is encoded up to DVD resolution using a very-low bit rate, MPEG-4-like compression algorithm so distribution is efficient. Media storage uses reliable solid-state flash memory with 1,000,000-hour MTBF (mean-time-between-failure) rating. System architecture is based on open standards, accessible across the Internet, requiring no specialized network management nor media servers, and is designed to operate over low bit rate networks such as the ISDN.

The RS232 and USB ports enable the device to support touch screen monitors and connectivity to other devices such as coupon printers. This also enable user data (e.g. user "click-through" data) from the touch screen to be collected at the POP and sent back to the media server for analysis and reporting back to 3rd party advertisers.

The device can accept simple ASCII/hex codes to control basic functions of the device for integration with existing and customer custom developed applications. This makes it very easy to control and integrate for the A/V world. For the IT world, we also offer API's into the Media Display System software platform for take advantage of advance scheduling and network management features.
