|
-
Solid-state, digital audio
player device that provides the maximum in flexibility and
affordability when used to manage broadcast messages.
-
Users upload new audio
remotely via Ethernet connection or onsite by using a
removable USB fl ash drive. For Ethernet applications, the
audio may be delivered and managed remotely via LAN/WAN
without the need for proprietary software. The USB port may
be used as an alternative for users choosing to update the
audio via USB fl ash drive. Both methods of delivery accept a
standard MP3 audio file.
-
Flexible installation in
which users may mount the device to an equipment panel or in
a server rack environment.
-
Features:
- Network delivery: Ethernet connection allows remote audio
upload via the LAN/WAN. Built-in GUI allows user to upload
20 MB (21-minute) fi le, assign static IP settings and
control volume.
- USB delivery: if Ethernet delivery is not available, user
may update audio onsite by removable USB fl ash drive,
(drag/drop MP3 fi les into fl ash drive, insert into USB port
for instant output).
- LCD display: displays device IP information, volume level
and configuration settings. In USB mode the LCD displays
audio fi le currently played.
- MP3 compatible: Ethernet and USB fl ash drive delivery
options compatible with standard MP3 audio fi les.
Recommended MP3 bit rate of 64-128 Kbps.
