VIA Technologies ALTA DS is a new Android-based 4K Digital Signage Player

VIA Technologies today launched the VIA ALTA DS 4K Android-based digital signage player. Capable of connecting to a 4K display with a 3840×2160 resolution output, the ALTA DS 4K can handle HTML5, has built-in touch screen support and features a dual Ethernet to enable the installation of an IP camera that can be configured to blend locally-captured real-time video streams with cloud-delivered content. This is a creative application.

Powered by a 1.4GHz Cortex-A17 quad-core SoC, the VIA ALTA DS 4K combines 2D/3D graphics with an advanced video engine that supports Open GL ES 3.0 hardware acceleration and H.265, H.264, VC-1, and MPEG-2 video decoding up to 3840x2160p @ 30fps. Connectors include one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, one mini USB 2.0 port for COM (TX/RX), one SD Card slot, Line-out and Mic-in audio jacks, and one 1.4 HDMI port with CEC support, one CIR receiver as well as dual Ethernet ports (one GLAN and one LAN port).

Other features include 2GB DDR3 SDRAM and 8GB eMMC Flash memory. High-speed wireless networking capabilities can be added with the optional EMIO-5531 USB Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module.

Here are all the detailed specs.
