Optics is a subscription-based Korbyt feature for Digital Signage that uses a USB camera attached to the media player controlling a screen so that the Korbyt System can track information about who is present in front of the screen.
Tracking information such as:
- The number of people present in front of the screen
- The time that people are dwelling in front of the screen
These data points above can also be used to adjust the content that is playing on the screen in real-time.
For example: A playlist of promotional content could be playing on a kioks, then when a person is detected infront of it, the kiosk switches to it’s home screen.
Media Player Requirements
For the Optics service to function the Media Player should be either
- An Aries II Korbyt Digital Appliance (KDA)
- Or
- A Windows PC Running the Korbyt Windows Player (KWP)
- The Windows PC should meet the Minimum System Requirements listed HERE
USB Camera Requirements
To properly function the USB Camera should have a
- 1080p Resolution or higher
- Higher is not required
- Flat Lens
- No fish eye style view
- A wide viewing angle is OK, as long as the lens does not introduce distortion
Considerations
- The USB Camera will need to be connected to the Media Player
- If additional USB cables will be used to bridge the distance between the player and the USB Cable that came with your Camera you may need to use Active USB cables. Ones that provide assistance to the data and power being transmitted
- The USB Camera should be installed in a location that allows it to see who is in front of the screen
- Thick of the Camera as “looking back” at the person who is viewing the screen
- The Media Players will need Adequate Ventilation
- The devices capable of running Optics service generate more heat than a low-powered device and will require adequate ventilation to avoid malfunctions
