WXGA (1360 x 768), which is supported by most of Sony public displays, is included in selectable resolution modes. And full HD (1920 x 1080) is also selectable, which is accepted by Sony’s new line-up of full HD public displays including the GXD-L52H1. Furthermore, SXGA (1280 x 1024) and XGA (1024 x 768) are also available.

* The VSP-NS7 can display graphics up to a 1920 x 1080 resolution and video up to a 1280 x 720 resolution.

Versatile Content Presentation
The VSP-NS7 is capable of producing up to five image layers for display, including graphics, video, and text. What’s more, the VSP-NS7 has the flexibility to present video stored on its HDD or accept live streaming video over a network from a Sony SNC-RZ50N/RZ50P network camera, which can then be played out along with the other layers. Also, in addition to the audio accompanying the video, an extra audio channel is available. This can be used to play out background music or a narration independent of the playlist.

Excellent Video Quality
The VSP-NS7 can present crisp, clear, and vivid images in both HD and SD formats. It supports Microsoft® Windows® Media video in the 720P HD and SD formats and MPEG-2 video in the SD format. It also supports MPEG-4 streaming video in the SD format applied from an SNC-RZ50N/RZ50P network camera.

High-quality Graphics and Text
The VSP-NS7 supports a variety of graphics including full-color bitmap, JPEG, Adobe Flash, and web (IE). The desired web page can be displayed as a graphics layer simply by designating its URL, and this can be automatically reloaded at a preset interval. Two graphics layers, such as a web page and a Flash file, can be displayed simultaneously on the same screen. In addition, text can be set in any color and at any location on the screen, and can be either scrolling, flashing, or still.

Live Streaming Video via a Network Camera
The VSP-NS7 can accept live streaming video and audio from an SNC-RZ50N/RZ50P network camera, which can be played out along with other content layers for more versatile digital signage productions. For example, an information display at a football stadium can stream live footage from restaurants and souvenir shops, while also displaying information about the football match, such as ticket packs, text commentary, and graphical updates - all on the same screen.

Seamless Playback
Thanks to its pre-load processing system, the VSP-NS7 offers a seamless playback feature. This processing system allows content to be pre-processed in the buffer ready for playback, while the former content is being played back. As a result, even content with large data such as video, Flash content, and web pages can be played back seamlessly, without delays.

Portrait and Landscape Modes
Portrait mode and landscape modes are available to meet your application needs. In portrait mode, the displayed images can be rotated 90° counterclockwise. When the VSP-NS7 is set to portrait mode with a display resolution of 1920 x 1080, it cannot support Microsoft Windows Media video in the 720P HD format.

Device Control
The VSP-NS7 has an auto-power-control function. Thanks to a built-in timer, the VSP-NS7 can automatically turn itself on or off, according to the time schedule of a playlist. In addition, operators can control public displays such as Sony’s GXD-L52H1, FWD-50PX3, FWD-40LX2, and FWD-32LX2 models when connected to the VSP-NS7 via an RS-232C interface. The display settings available via this interface include power ON/OFF, input selection, picture mode selection, and audio level.

Multi-display Control and Monitoring via a Network
Up to four public displays can be controlled and monitored over a network using a single VSP-NS7. This is useful when operators want to control multiple displays simultaneously, for applications such as multi-display walls.

The optional Sony VSPA-D7 Management Software, which are equipped with a simple GUI, make the initial setup and daily operations of the VSP-NS7 extremely easy - allows you to create and deliver attractive multimedia content in a timely manner. This digital signage system from Sony can certainly be a powerful tool for communicating more effectively with your invaluable customers. A single license of Sony VSPA-D7 Management Software let you manage up to 50 VSP-NS7 players, and you can simply another license to manage another 50 players. 200 players are the maximum that you can manage under one console. Create another console if you have more than 200 Digital Signage Players to manage.

The optional Sony VSPA-M7 Digital Signage Player Monitoring Software is a very convenient tool for monitoring the whole system. It allows you to easily monitor the status of not only the VSP-NS7, but also public displays such as Sony’s GXD-L52H1, FWD-50PX3, FWD-40LX2, and FWD-32LX2 models, when connected to it via an RS-232C. Thanks to this powerful monitoring feature, operators can easily verify the power ON/OFF status of a display, and whether the input signals from the VSP-NS7 to the display are properly applied.
