OPS interface: Open Pluggable Specification
The OPS interface is a standard for the system architecture between displays and media players. The interface enables an inconspicuous installation of PCs in digital displays. Find out more about how the OPS interface works and where it can be used here.
What is an OPS interface
OPS stands for “Open Pluggable Specification”. This standard for the system architecture between signage displays and media players was introduced in 2010 by the US semiconductor manufacturer Intel. Above all, the OPS interface eliminates the need for bulky mounts and complex cabling. The latter is achieved by inconspicuous installation of computers in digital displays.
Advantages of an OPS interface
The OPS interface was introduced to standardize the networking between media players and displays. In other words, the integrated modular DS media player solution is connected to the display panel via a standard internal plug interface. This significantly simplifies the installation and operation of digital signage devices. It is also a particularly cost-efficient design.
Application areas of an OPS interface
A PC integrated into a display enables digital signage applications, presentations on LED walls or applications for interactive whiteboards. The elimination of cumbersome mounts and complex cabling is particularly noticeable in the field of conference room technology.
OPS and conference room technology
OPS interfaces are primarily used in conference and seminar rooms. Flawlessly functioning technology lays the foundation for successful events. The demand for digital equipment has increased, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The versatile use of a conference room, partly as face-to-face events and partly as virtual meetings, requires networked and flexible conference room technology. OPS interfaces are part of the modern technical equipment and put old-fashioned cable chains in the shade.
OPS versions
In addition to OPS, there is also a smaller version, the OPS+ version. The latter is 20 mm shorter than the standard OPS version and has an improved thermal design. OPS+ is particularly optimized for interactive whiteboards and large displays, as it can support digital signage displays with a particularly high resolution. OPS+ also has a higher bandwidth.
