OPS, or Open Pluggable Specification, is a standardized design that allows for the integration of Windows-based computing into interactive touchscreens and digital signage. At Indisplay, we refer to this as a Slot-In PC, which better describes its purpose. This modular system enables users to easily insert OPS modules into compatible displays, enhancing their computing capabilities.How OPS Works with Indisplay Interactive Touchscreens

The OPS specification provides a common interface and physical design that simplifies the addition of computing power to displays. In Indisplay screens, an OPS module adds a Windows operating system experience, allowing users to utilize familiar software applications alongside the touchscreen's interactive features.

Key Features and Benefits of OPS Modules

- Standardized Interface: OPS creates a uniform interface and mounting system, ensuring compatibility across different displays and OPS players. Indisplay uses an Intel form factor for its OPS modules.

- Easy Installation and Maintenance: The design allows for simple insertion and removal of OPS modules without needing extra cables or complex setups, making installation and maintenance straightforward.

- Scalability and Upgradability: Users can upgrade or replace OPS modules according to their specific computing needs, extending the lifespan and adaptability of their digital signage systems.

- Improved Appearance: The discreet design of OPS modules reduces visible cables and external devices, resulting in a cleaner installation that highlights the display itself.

- Wide Compatibility: OPS modules support various operating systems and software applications, making them versatile for different digital signage requirements.

Technical Specifications

OPS modules typically include essential components such as processors, memory, storage, graphics capabilities, and network connectivity. They are designed to meet the performance needs of various digital signage applications, ranging from simple displays to complex interactive setups.

Adoption in the AV Industry

OPS has gained widespread acceptance in the audiovisual industry. Many manufacturers, including Indisplay, offer displays with built-in OPS slots or compatible modules. This standardization minimizes compatibility issues and facilitates easier integration for classroom and office environments.

For those looking to enhance their interactive touchscreens with Windows 10 or 11 capabilities, adding an OPS module is a cost-effective solution. It provides users with the option to switch between the Indisplay OS Android experience and a full Windows environment, significantly expanding functionality.
