The MediaStar Evolution 780 range of Digital Media Decoders are a powerful and ultra reliable, solid state “out of the box” solution for your entire IP Television, Digital Signage and Digital media delivery requirements.

The 780 can decode both SD and HD H.264 and MPEG-2 encoded network streams and play out locally stored HD and SD video files from onboard memory, so that a combination of live streamed network video /audio and file based media can be displayed.

The 780 supports SD and HD output resolutions in both Digital (HDMI) and Analogue formats (YPbPr/ CVBS). In HD mode both HDMI and YPbPr operate simultaneously allowing a single 780 unit to support two screens.

In addition, the 780 has an onboard rendering engine, providing the ability to display SD TV inputs at HD output resolutions. The unit can also display PowerPoint presentations (converted to HTML), JPEGs, PNGs and up to the minute webpages with its onboard Firefox browser.

A 780 can operate reliably on its own in “standalone” mode with onfiguration and channel setup from a central HTTP server or networked under the control of the MediaStar Evolution Administration software allowing play out of pre-programmed timelines of media content.

Infra red, RS 232 and USB connectivity enable local operation; display control; key board and mouse interaction; IP command pass through and external alarm audio mute. The unit will also email proof of play reports and send SNMP traps if required.

Maintenance free operation, small physical size, low power consumption and software future proofing make the 780 ideally suited for both large scale distributed applications or simple single screen deployments.
