When investing in an interactive touchscreen, understanding the differences between OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) and OPS-C is essential for making an informed decision. Both options offer flexibility and future-proofing for your display, but they cater to different needs.

What is OPS?

Introduced by Intel in 2010, the OPS standard was designed to create a uniform system architecture for displays and media players. Its compact size (180 x 30 x 119 mm) makes it an excellent choice for smaller interactive flat panel displays. With OPS, you can easily upgrade the operating system without replacing the entire display, ensuring a cost-effective solution for your interactive needs.

What is OPS-C?

In 2015, Intel expanded the OPS standard to include OPS-C, which is larger (204 x 42 x 195 mm) and was developed to meet increasing market demands. Both OPS and OPS-C use the same 80-pin connection, but the larger size of OPS-C allows for enhanced features and connectivity options.

Compatibility with IQTouch Interactive Displays

The IQTouch interactive displays are designed to accommodate both OPS and OPS-C modules. This flexibility is achieved through adjustable screws in the middle of the display, making it easy to install either option. Whether you choose the compact OPS or the more robust OPS-C, both are compatible with our professional and elite series of interactive displays.

Why Choose OPS or OPS-C?

1. Future-Proofing: Both OPS and OPS-C allow for easy upgrades, meaning you can keep your technology up-to-date without investing in new hardware.

2. Customizability: Depending on your specific requirements, you can select the option that best fits your space and operational needs.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: By opting for a pluggable specification, you save money in the long run by avoiding the need for a complete display replacement.

In summary, when selecting a computer for your interactive touchscreen, consider the size, compatibility, and future upgrade options of OPS and OPS-C. Both standards provide excellent flexibility and are designed to enhance your interactive experience. For the best results, evaluate your specific needs and choose the option that aligns with your goals.
