New Interactive self-service kiosks


As the successor of the successful eTILE series, AOPEN has devel- oped an upgraded interactive ex- perience based on feedback from the market, with the eTILE-X, a more versatile series set to exceed expectations. Created for usage in self-service industries, the eTILE-X series guarantees a cost efficient, upgraded interactive experience. This durable piece of hardware is specifically designed for usage in commercial environments. Integrate the eTILE-X in interac- tive self-service kiosks or create a stand-alone kiosk with a floor- or tablemount. With its Full HD reso- lution and wide viewing angle - in both portrait and landscape - the viewing experience is improved. Furthermore, the eTILE-X is in- dustrial grade IP65 dust and wa- terproof, has hidden I/O ports and buttons and has a protective met- al bezel covering the edges. The bezel prevents the system from breaking down and can withstand customer abuse. System crashes because of hardware issues are taken care of by the watchdog

between 10 – 24” diagonal, enabling authenticated pay- ments to be handled complete- ly via the touch screen in ATMs, kiosks and other payment ter- minals without the need for a separate encrypting mechani- cal PIN pad (EPP).


The solution includes an En- crypted Touch Controller and a Secure Touch sensor pur- pose designed to meet PCI 3.x and EMV requirements. CryptoTouch Unattended links with a Secure Chip and PIN or Contactless Card Reader in or- der to allow support for offline PIN verification. CryptoTouch Unattended and Zytronic touch screens have already been suc- cessfully used together in ATMs for a European bank.


Commenting, Brian Schleis-


ner, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Cryptera A/S sai: “The increasing use of touch screens as the main user in- terface in unattended trans- actions has created a need to


Ian Crosby, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Zytron- ic added, “As card payments eclipse cash, there is a clear expectation that unattended payment terminals of all kinds will accept this form of pay- ment. Integrating a separate encrypting PIN pad for authen- tication increases system cost and can be inconvenient, spoil- ing the sleek, clean lines that kiosk designers and users are increasingly seeking.” “We are delighted to say that Cryptera and Zytronic have been working closely together for several years to address the technical challenges associ- ated with fully protecting sen- sitive information transmitted from the touch screen to the controller and onwards – all meeting the exacting standards set by EMV and PCI. Customers can be secure in the knowledge that the CryptoTouch solution has the backing of two leaders in the self-service industry.”


New Vision HDMI-over-IP Techcon- nect Matrix


This new product supports 4K at 60Hz, making it the most powerful Techconnect ever and can be setup without software. The simple channel LED on the front panel allows very fast manual setup and each trans- mitter can be set to a different channel and then adjusted to show the desired output. For integration into more com- plex systems, Crestron and AMX drivers are included, and switching and scene switching are compatible via a free down- loadable app or PC software. It also works for video-wall config- urations up to 3x3 with IR pass-


through – vital with displays without visible IR receivers to enable fast control for the user. Stuart Lockhart, Visual Direc- tor, explains: “The new product will replace an earlier genera- tion product we discontinued some time ago. In our ongo- ing user research, the product development team learnt that many network switches can’t always cope when providing enough power to many end points. By removing PoE, it not only enables trouble-shooting to be much easier but brings the product cost down”.

in high temperature environments. The eTILE-X passed multiple test such as shock and vibration tests, airflow tests, temperature and hu- midity tests. Due to these exten- sive tests, the eTILE-X has proven to be a perfect fit for commercial environments such as retail, quick service restaurants and healthcare. Aside from the tough interior of the eTILE-X, its exterior design ensures that this series can be used in a kiosk or as stand-alone device for other professional en- vironments. Its flat surface, clean look and easy mounting solution ensure it is easily built-in into a kiosk. The complimentary connec- tivity ports create the option to use peripherals; like scanners, card readers, fingerprint readers and pin terminals. Its protective bezel protects the device when installed for stand-alone usage in for exam- ple industrial process operation or interactive wayfinding.


The eTILE-X series supports Win- dows 10 and Linux OS and will be available in 15 and 19 inches, launching this summer. Through-

Logitech Video Collaboration. “The integration enables camera control through the StarLeaf control panel, eliminating the need for a remote control and delivering an easy and intuitive huddle room video experi- ence.”


Logitech MeetUp is purpose-built, and is a compact all-in-one design with USB connectors, making it easy to install alongside the Team- line 5140 room system.


“Interactivity is still on the rise, and more collaborative spaces and huddle rooms are being designed into the working envi- ronment, resulting in a growing demand for AV technology that facilitates user engagement and productivity,” said Keith Dutch, Managing Director - EMEA, Peerless-AV. “Sam- sung’s WM55H is contributing to this growth, but we saw a gap in the market for mounting it to the wall in settings where floor space is limited. Specifi-


cally designed for the WM55H, and in an attractive white gloss finish to match, users have a choice between wall mount or mobile trolley solutions to suit their requirements.” Peerless-AV’s new solutions have been designed to support the features and functionality of the 55" Samsung Flip dis- play. The rotational interface on both the wall mount and trolley allows the user to easily rotate the display 90° from landscape to portrait, and holds the dis- play at a negative 4.5°, further promoting ergonomics with a more natural angled writ- ing surface. The unique cable management system allows cables to be routed through the interface, which keeps the cabling safe and abrasion free when rotating the display. The new Rotational Wall Mount (RMI3-FLIP) and Mobile Trol- ley with Rotational Interface (SR560-FLIP) for the 55" Sam- sung Flip are available now through Peerless-AV’s autho- rised reseller and distributor network.
