08/2008: kompas player 2.1 development for thousands
The digital signage software "kompas" by dimedis is now characterized by the player version 2.1. The new player provides numerous improvements that make kompas networks even more flexible.
After a three months phase of developing and testing the new player is now launched. Especially dynamic content can now be used more extesively because of the modular concept of the player. Also the rapid interaction of external events is enhanced. For example a change of content by the customer can be realized by the interaction between the player and a bluetooth device.
The new player version also improves th e displaying opportunities. New rendering techniques enable displaying animated motives in a higher qualitiy. That grants a very special touch to your content.
The new player is currently used in over 2.000 kompas installations. As the update happens invisibly in the background, the numbers constantly rises and the observers won't notice this upgrade.
