Open-Source Technology in Digital Signage
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source and Free software have transformed the software business. Instead
| of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and getting locked in, we have
| been given freedom. Freedom to be our own equipment's boss; freedom to share;
| and freedom to benefit from cooperation and hence from what thousands of
| others have already done.
|
| Many Digital Signage providers use Open Source both in the products like
| Media Players, and to run their operations cost-effectively. By doing so,
| they can concentrate on our “real” work: the products and services that they
| sell. Without OSS, there would not be an Internet today. There would also not
| be as many Digital Signage companies.

YouTube on the TV with the OSD
,----[ Quote ]
| Neuros is certainly not the only ones bringing net video to the TV, but we
| are probably the only CE company doing it with open source. Nowhere is the
| intersection between free software and free speech more obvious. If the
| connection between the internet and the TV falls into the hands of a
| proprietary vendor's closed solution, then the hard won free speech victory
| of he internet will fall far short of its ultimate potential.

The Neuros OSD: A New Paradigm for Consumer Devices?
,----[ Quote ]
| Surprisingly one of the media establishment's darling devices at the 2008
| Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is fully open, runs Linux and invites
| hacking - er, customization. The device is the Neuros OSD, a $200 video
| recorder that allows you to archive, organize and play back all of your video
| media, such as live television, DVDs, VHS tapes, etc. The acronym "OSD"
| stands for "open source device". Hot dog, this is our kind of gadget!

| The OSD has not only open hardware, but also open software: it is based on
| the Linux operating system. Neuros Technology encourages hacking of the
| device; it has contests with cash rewards for new applications for the OSD.
| One winner, for instance, designed a program that lets people use it to watch
| YouTube on their televisions.

ArsGeek reviews the Neuros OSD
,----[ Quote ]
| The first two observations I made when I opened my Neuros OSD were that the
| unit was a lot smaller than I was expecting (about five and a half inches by
| five and a half inches in size) and that it looked nice. This was no flat
| looking boxy apparatus, nor was it a standard component. It was curved, it
| was sleek, black and more aerodynamic than any other DVR I’ve come across.
|
| I liked the size and the look immediately. Not only was this thing slick
| looking, but I could easily grab the RCA cables and the Neuros and bring it
| over to a friends house to watch whatever I’d recorded.

The Linux-based Neuros OSD
,----[ Quote ]
| Neuros Technology did it again: one more of their interesting media products
| hits the market, and this time it uses Linux. We used the Neuros OSD this
| past week and here's what we think about it.
|
| [...]
|
| Overall, Neuros seems to get it. Extensibility, plus a powerful product.
| Hopefully HD abilities and failing that, S-Video out, will be available on
| the next major revision of the product. Sure, it doesn't feel as cool as an
| AppleTV, but it does so much more!
