HP ThinState

HP ThinState can be used to capture an HP Digital Signage Player image that can then be deployed to another HP Digital Signage Player of identical model and hardware.

NOTE: HP ThinState now uses ibrpe.exe for imaging. Any storage devices previously created containing ibr.exe can no longer be used.

To perform an HP ThinState capture:

1.On the Digital Signage Player you are capturing the image from, make sure the first boot device in the BIOS is set to USB.

2.Disable the write filter.

3.Insert a storage device that is greater in size than the onboard storage device.

4.Click Start > Control Panel > HP ThinState Capture.

5.Follow the on-screen instructions.

6.The HP ThinState Capture tool opens a blue screen. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Use the storage device to deploy the captured image to another HP Digital Signage Player of the exact same model and hardware.

NOTE: With HP ThinState Capture, you might be able to capture the image from a larger flash and deploy it to a smaller flash, depending on the size of the captured image.

To perform an HP ThinState deployment:

1.On the Digital Signage Player you are deploying the image to, make sure the first boot device in the BIOS is set to USB.

2.Insert the storage device that contains the captured image, and then restart the computer.

3.Follow the on-screen instructions.

After you remove the storage device and cycle power to the system, the image will unbundle. Do not interrupt or cycle power to the unit during this process.

HP Velocity

HP Velocity is a quality of service (QoS) system that dramatically improves the user experience for real-time, networked applications by reducing packet loss on IP-based networks used to carry the application traffic. The HP Velocity client-side component is preinstalled on HP Digital Signage Players running WES 7 and works in conjunction with a server-side component.
