Soundbar Retail Demonstrator All-in-One Made For Sony

Sony has several great soundbars for its 4K LCD TV,  due to the limited shelf size of the retail demonstration bench. Sony decided to use an all-in-one solution: A Soundbar Retail Demonstration Media Player With Built-in Video Screen.

It was originally designed with an all-in-one video player with 23.8-inch full-viewing angle screen, sitting all the connectors on the back:

This is not a bad idea, but it would NEVER be installation-friendly or maintenance-friendly, since it would be a challenge to develop an easy-to-manage cable solution for 8 pcs of optical cables, plus 11pcs of Molex connector cables. In order to facilitate the installation & maintenance, AOK Displays team re-designed the solution to separate the soundbar demonstration video player board from the video player, re-assigning the cable installation to a boxed media player. With LVDS cable & Backlight cable being lined-out, the new solution is even more production-friendly:

The heart of this soundbar retail demonstrator is a versatile mother board as following:

This board will support video screens from 10.1″ to 32″, With One Single Board To Rule Them All,  for the mini-sized demonstrator bench to luxury big retail kiosk, it supports all the retail demonstration scenarios.

In Order To Simplify The Installation Of The Retail Fixture And Make The Whole System Maintenance‐Friendly, We Have Built‐in The Lighting & Power Distribution Interface To Help Retail Integrators Add Lighting Control To Their Fixture, And Send Power To Other Retail Accessories.

Except the above mentioned design innovation, the 2nd part of unique feature of our all-in-one retail demonstration solution is the text file based configurator to manage:

• Customizable Default Play File/ List,

When Switching Music Output, The Audio Continues From The Previous Track So That Shoppers Could Easily Compare The Sound Quality From Each Soundbar. It’s Optional With Customer Device Line‐in To Let Shoppers Listen To Their Own Favorite Music.
