8K Signage Media Player RK3588 Released !

Customers need a future-proof 8K digital signage solution

Our customers like our 4K signage solution (MP40) very much, but MP40 was developed as a budget 4K player, it is a versatile solution with the most economic computing power. It is not designed to address the needs when customers require more computing power. Thus, Our clients keep asking us whether we have a 8K future-proof digital signage solution, even on roadmap level.

Bluetooth Headphone Display Solution For Retail Demonstration, Updated.

Bluetooth® headphone demonstrators & Challenges From Retail Field

Since Apple cancelled 3.5mm headphone port in iPhone and Type C digital audio port has been introduced into Android smartphone ecosystem, the wireless Bluetooth® headphones and earphones are becoming mainstream, making wireless headphone demonstration retail system becomes a new niche, but there was so few presentable, useable Bluetooth® headphone demonstrators on the market due to some unsolved challenges from the retail showrooms.

Previously we have a bluetooth (wireless) headphone demonstration system using bluetooth dongles or bluetooth hub to get demonstration headphones paired and let user listen & compare music like another interactive headphone display.

Then we note some challenging issues from the field, the daily maintenance, and yes, it is not maintenance-friendly, it requires the following operations daily:

keep the headphone charged when needed so that they have enough battery power ( thus, this may require local store staff turn off the headphones, and connect them to USB charging cables )
Other than the charging, every morning, local store staff need to disconnect the headphone from the charging mode and power them on;
Pairing and testing: so that the system works as expected, though the pairing is almost automatic, but it is not 100% equally consistent.

Validated Learning From Previous Wireless Headphone Display Projects: Charging & Pairing Are Troublesome

Knowing that charging and pairing will be one-solved-issue-creating-another, we developed a new, better solution utilizing the analogue to digital (USB) adapter to turn our existing headphone demonstrators compatible with bluetooth headphone with type C digital input, then charging will never be a problem, and the demo headphones are type C connected, thus bluetooth pairing is not needed any longer.

Customer Audio Line-in, Personal Audio Demonstration

Customer audio line-in is also no problem , as users could use the 3.5mm to type C/lightning adapter cable and connect it to the existing line-in 3.5mm port directly.

The final diagram will be as the following:

Thanks to this universal analogue to digital audio adapter, all our existing headphone demonstrators can be seamlessly integrated to support wireless Bluetooth headphones with Type C USB digital input.
