2. Introduction

The DS Vision 3000 (DS Vision) system from Minicom is an out-of-band solution for the last step in a digital signage network. DS Vision combines video, stereo/audio and serial functions for distributing real-time multimedia content from player to multiple screens up to 600m/2,000ft away.

The DS Vision system distributes Video, Audio and Serial control data from a single content source to up to thousands of remote monitors over CAT 5/5e/6/7 Twisted Pair media.

The DS Vision system can have up to 10 levels of cascade with literally millions of connected monitors.

With the DS Vision an administrator can remotely turn the distributed screens on and off, and monitor them either separately or as a unified group. The system also supports Display Data Channel (DDC) signaling, enabling optimal player-screen configuration for better visual experience.

Depending on the cable length the DS Vision broadcasts the video up to resolutions of 1080p HDTV or 1920x1440 @ 60Hz.

DS Vision comes with full RS-232 point-to-point, real-time serial communication for the extension of serial devices and player to screen command and information transfer. All handshake lines are supported for maximum compatibility with any serial device.
