What considerations need to be taken into account when choosing a PC as a digital media player?

Answer:

Every digital media network will have different technical requirements. Although it is possible to choose a PC system and configuration that will cope with the majority of circumstances, the following inputs will have a direct bearing on the type of PC and graphics chipset that you would choose for your deployment:

Type and format of the media that will be displayed
Complexity of overlays that may be used
Type of display and the resolution of that display
Network type (GSM, LAN, WIFI etc.)

We recommend a PC configuration that has a compatible RAM / CPU chipset combination, ideally assembled around the Intel Atom processor.

Please note: The hardware specifications in this document should only be used as a guideline. We STRONGLY recommended that you thoroughly test any particular combination of PC, screen and media before any bulk purchase decisions are made.
