About the PDS Player

The PDS Player is a powerful real-time broadcast rendering engine that delivers the highest quality output with the highest level of reliability. It offers reliable playback for 24x7 operation.

Unlike simple video playback devices, the PDS Player dynamically arranges slide elements in real time to generate the final video output. This means individual elements of the content can be changed at any time, without requiring that entire video segments be re-rendered whenever a change is required.

Accessing the Player

After installation, the PDS Player can be configured directly or through

Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
