Kramer KDS-MP2 HD Digital Signage Media Player

The Kramer KDS-MP2 plays scheduled digital signage content on an HDMI display. LAN-based content management lets an installer update signs without replacing a computer at each screen.

KDS-MP2 Detailed Features

• Run scheduled signage without a display-side PC. The media player supplies HDMI video and audio to a connected screen. It is intended for repeatable signage playback such as reception information, menus, notices, and promotional content.
• Present Full HD content. Support includes 1080p and WUXGA resolutions. Prepare media at a supported format so text and graphics fit the intended display layout.
• Store content inside the player. The unit includes 8GB of internal memory. This provides onboard space for signage assets, with actual capacity depending on file sizes and the selected media mix.
• Manage content over the local network. LAN-based management and integrated SMIL control support content updates without physically replacing a computer at each screen. Plan network access for the staff responsible for signage maintenance.
• Build layouts with Media Manager. The software supports ready-made layouts, logos, tickers, and widgets. These tools help organize different types of information within the signage presentation.
• Use supported audio and video codecs. The listed formats include H.264/MPEG-4, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VC-1, and MP3. Check both the codec and the required playback format when preparing content.
• Keep scheduled playback aligned. An NTP client supports time synchronization. Correct time settings matter when different messages must appear at specific times of day.
• Mount close to the display. The compact unit includes mounting provisions and a VESA-compatible bracket arrangement. Keep its ventilated side panel clear when installing behind a screen or inside a cabinet.
