The Sprite DV-S1 interactive digital media player

The Sprite DV-S1 interactive digital media player is designed and built for demanding applications such as information display, automated announcements, interactive entertainment and digital signage in museums, heritage centres, art galleries and themed visitor attractions. With no moving parts, it is a low-cost, reliable replacement for aging DVD and obsolete LaserDisc players.

The Sprite plays high definition or standard definition digital video and high quality digital audio continuously and seamlessly or under control via a push-button switch, a PIR motion sensor or serial data. The Sprite is easy to set up via its remote control and on-screen menu and does not require any programming. Video and audio media files are stored on and played from a standard USB memory stick or SDHC memory card inserted into the Sprite.

The interactive capabilities of the Sprite can be dramatically increased by connecting the Hydra Input / Output expander unit. The Hydra enables the Sprite to accept up to 25 push-button switch inputs, up to 8 outputs that drive relays, LEDs, etc. and DMX512 – the industry standard for professional lighting and effects control. New modes for games, escape rooms and puzzle-solving applications have recently been added.

Garland Digital Ltd. is an authorised distributor for MedeaWiz Inc, manufacturer of the Sprite DV-S1 and other digital media players and accessories.
