Originally developed to promote basic computer literacy in schools and developing countries, the original Raspberry Pi offered good performance at a very low cost. However, the latest Raspberry Pi 3 module boasts remarkable performance and networking capabilities, making it ideal for NEC's display.
With a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, it's no longer just a basic coding computer, but a reliable smart device with limitless possibilities. In addition to the standard Raspberry Pi 3 module, NEC offers a custom model to meet the industry's performance needs.
As part of NEC's Open Modular Intelligence (OMI) platform, Raspberry Pi integrates seamlessly with the new P and V Series large-format displays. These new displays provide easy access to integrated intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity for digital signage and presentations.
“Our strategic initiative to collaborate with Raspberry Pi exemplifies how we continue to ensure that organizations across all sectors have access to cutting-edge technology to meet their needs. Our open platform approach delivers display intelligence at any time thanks to its modular and interchangeable design. By integrating Raspberry Pi with our displays, we will provide businesses with advanced technology suitable for digital signage, streaming, and presentations to enhance the viewing experience at an affordable price,” says Stefanie Corinth, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH.
“When we started with Raspberry Pi, our primary goal was to help people learn about computing and how to build things with computers. However, we have been fortunate enough to have sold 10 million Raspberry Pis to date, and this commercial success has led us to the third generation of more mature and powerful technology that can be used with NEC’s smart display. Our work on Raspberry Pi mini-computers is made possible by a large developer community, and NEC’s work is driven by industry needs, allowing us to meet the requirements of the AV and IT sectors. Above all, this collaboration demonstrates NEC’s confidence in our ability to deliver a platform that can be used in a wide variety of environments,” says Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading.
NEC's new large-format smart displays with Raspberry Pi connectivity will be launched starting in January 2017.
