Daktronics (Bookings, SD) has announced the new DMP-8124 four-output media player, which enables content to span multiple LCDs, according to a press release.

The company’s most advanced digital signage media player (per the release) can output up to four channels in full high definition (FHD) or ultra high definition (UHD). It is compatible with Venus Control Suite, the cloud-based software used for Daktronics LED and LCD screens nationwide.

“Users can power multiple displays with one media player, so installation is fast and easy. Businesses can drive video walls or multi-screen installations with complex layouts, multi-screen spanning, heavy data interfacing and high processing demands,” Bill Hadsell, Daktronics product manager, is quoted in the press release.

Venus Control Suite provides scheduling options tailored to the network size, including scheduling of one display to synced scheduling across LED/LCD screens to conditional scheduling based on different conditions such as weather.
