Symon’s media players reside at the edge of the visual communications network and function as intelligent interfaces between Symon’s content management engine, Symon Enterprise Software, and the electronic displays. Symon’s media players “pull” content plus content rules/parameters from Symon Enterprise Software and then play the content on the screen(s) according to the rules/parameters. These rules/parameters were originally defined within Symon’s Design Studio Software.
Symon offers a large portfolio of media players and each is designed to work seamlessly with Symon’s content management system. Symon’s catalog of media players includes the following:
- Seven hardware-based media players. These players are designed for those who desire the highest level of reliability, security, interoperability and/or the lowest operational cost.
- Three software-only media players. These players are designed to run on “off-the-shelf” hardware components.
