Onelan has released version 8.02 of its software in an effort to speed up content design and create an intuitive user interface.
It offers drag and drop capability for playlists and the content library. Multiple content files can be dragged from the desktop and dropped directly into playlists and folders on the NTB player.
The company says it has improved Ad Hoc functionality so that messages and branding seen by Ad Hoc users can be customised and the users’ input validated. The language and or the words used in the Ad Hoc user interface are customisable so the designer may tailor the Ad Hoc user interface exactly to the user or task. For example the logo of a company can be added to the Ad Hoc user interface web page and the menu language changed from English to the local language.
In V8.02 Webkit technology has been adopted for Onelan’s new HTML player. This enables a host of new features that deliver significant benefits to content designers including the ability to achieve sophisticated creative effects for digital signage content whilst taking advantage of lower cost players e.g the NTB510S. For example the background of an HTML page can now be transparent and tables can have a transparent border and background.
Onelan develops network appliances for standalone and end-to-end digital signage network solutions. The net-top-box is a mul-timedia, multi-zoned solution capable of touch interactivity. With a browser based user inter-face, the system is fully multi-lingual and capable of dis-playing both stored media and live media eg RSS feeds, webpages and broadcast TV or locally streamed video. Further mem-bers of the product family cater for enterprise network management and integration with external data sources.
