Mediaplayer Options

Several considerations need to be discussed with the customer to determine the most suitable media player option:

Open

The responses to these questions will guide the selection of the appropriate media player based on the specific needs and preferences of the customer.

1. Cost.

Tizen stands out as the most economical choice in every aspect due to its integrated nature.

Android is comparatively costly, with an additional monthly charge for each client.

Linux incurs the highest initial purchase cost, but it eliminates ongoing license fees thereafter.

2. Delivery time & effectiveness.

Tizen is readily accessible in extensive quantities, with swift and efficient delivery options.

Android is also widely available in substantial quantities.

Linux availability is somewhat restricted to specific stock and models. However, if time permits, ordering Linux should not pose a significant challenge.

The primary and most efficient method for all customers to place orders is directly through our authorized distributors. Those distributors with whom we have signed contracts can deliver the hardware with our software pre-installed, streamlining the entire process.

3. Quality of FPS (frame rates).

Tizen maintains frame rates within the range of 30 - 50 FPS, delivering satisfactory performance.

Android operates at approximately 40-50 FPS.

Linux demonstrates stable performance at 60 FPS, with the flexibility to achieve higher frame rates if required.

4. Quality of textures.

Tizen and Android generally perform well in most cases with standard texture levels.

Linux, on the other hand, elevates the texture experience to a whole new level, offering substantial CPU/GPU/RAM resources for expanding and enhancing textures as require

5. Resolution.

For 1080 resolution, both Tizen and Android are viable options.

However, for resolutions beyond 1080, "Linux" becomes the preferred choice.

6. Ease of installation.

Tizen boasts the easiest installation process, given its embedded nature.

Android offers simplicity, particularly when used with suppliers like "Jarltech" or others.

Linux, while more demanding, remains relatively straightforward to configure and install.

7. Remote features.

Linux is the superior choice if this is a crucial factor.

Android and Tizen exhibit limited control over API in comparison.

8. Support functions.

Linux offers features that surpass those of Tizen and Android, providing access to all parts of the system.

9. Technician's installation at a proficient level.

The simplest installation is with the "embedded" version, particularly with Tizen.

Android and Linux follow as the next options in terms of ease of installation.

10. Future functions and features.

For Tizen and Android, limitations are contingent on the hardware API functions.

With Linux, we have the flexibility to develop anything and accommodate any future requests.

11. Enviroment harsh factor (most likely hood of power problems?)

The stability of the installation environment determines the "read/write" option.

Tizen and Android are the most reliable choices for unstable environments, providing the highest likelihood of a prolonged lifetime with elevated uptime values.

While Linux is stable, featuring a unique "reload" function we have developed, it's important to note that the system operates in a "read/write" state rather than "read-only" mode. In harsh environments, Linux devices are more susceptible to frequent disk corruption issues.

12. Responsitivity

In instances where a touchscreen is present, particularly with multitouch features, the Linux device stands out by providing the highest CPU/RAM/GPU values for an optimal user experience, delivering a premium-quality feel (best FPS rates).

However, for the majority of cases, Android and Tizen offer a "good enough" value.

13. Security

In terms of internet security features and functions, having "root" access to the "hardware," "OS," and "software" allows us to have complete control. This capability is exclusive to our "Linux" image. However, this high level of security exceeds the requirements of an average customer.

For the majority of cases, a "standard" security level is more than sufficient.
