The DisplayEngine W5 is the local media player for system operated under Microsoft Windows™. The DisplayEngine connects to the PRESTIGEenterprise Server over network / internet in order to receive and cache the content to be displayed on the local devices. The W5 DisplayEngine is Microsoft Windows™ software solution.
The DisplayEngine W5 is the remote media player, used to display the content and playlists, defined and scheduled by the content manager in the central web based PRESTIGEenterprise Server for this device, operated on devices, running Microsoft Windows.
The DisplayEngine W5 consists of two parts, the “connector” and the “player”, which act independly from each other. Both programs are normally started at system startup automatically. The “connector”‘s job is to connect to the PRESTIGEenterprise server via network / internet and download and store all necessary content locally in the device storage, so that only content which is not yet present, will be downloaded once and cached – therefore, which is one of the major advantages, a constant connection to the server is not required, as the DisplayEngine is NOT a streaming receiver. The “connector” demands the player to present the desired output and the change the displayed content later, as demanded.
By caching the content locally, the DisplayEngine W5 saves network traffic and even allows seamlessly operation under conditions where the network connection might sometimes fail.
The DisplayEngine W5 supports playing entire playlists or “appointments”, which is the name for time scheduled interruption of a playlist with another content, for instance, when only between 9am and 10am in the morning a different content might to be displayed.
By adding the optional DisplayEngine EventHandler, the DisplayEngine W5 can receive external network signals and change the content on the screen accordingly the prior definition in the PRESTIGEenterprise system, allowing to design even active advertising solution.
