DIGITAL SIGNAGE RANGE



Blue Chip Technology designed our first Vario digital signage player nearly ten years ago when Digital Signage was still in its infancy. We’ve developed our own expertise alongside the exponential growth in this fascinating market. Our digital signage hardware is driving content in airports, shopping malls, pubs and schools around the world.

We are experts in building top performance cores into small footprints with rugged chassis housings. Our industrial computers are designed to control mission critical applications in power plants and rail networks. Special features such as mag lev fans, system watchdogs, industrial temperature ranges and high MTBF disk drives ensure a reliable performance. We work with low power budgets for fanless operation and manage our product against a typical three year lifecycle, upgrading product for total continuity on a fit form and function basis. Consequently our Vario digital signage player range is ideally equipped for 24/7 playout in high footfall areas. It’s compact enough to mount on the screen rear and a long term availability simplifies testing and installations.

  

Blue Chip Technology specialise in the design and manufacture of digital signage hardware and continue to add product to our range.  If you cannot find something which fits your requirements, please contact us and we would be happy to look at custom design.
