The VS 300 provides reliable, interactive playback of high quality video files and photos on screens and monitors in demanding commercial environments such as museums, heritage sites and other attractions. The files are stored and played directly from a solid state CF memory card housed in a protected slot.
The VS 300 is exceptionally small and comes in an elegant yet rugged casing with an easy-to-install mount plate (VESA). DV Studio can be downloaded from here and is an easy to use package for programming the player. blackbox-av also provides technical support as an optional extra.
