The C500 Media Player can be updated via a network connection, DVD or USB directly to the hard drive, which allows locations the ability to keep its in-store media current as well as provide proof of performance reporting and accountability for advertising supported networks. Additionally, it provides unique playback capabilities, including random song shuffling, day-parting and rich mixing. The device is equipped with full HD 1080p digital video playback and has an LCD display that shows program, artist and title information. The unit provides one zone of video playback and one zone of simultaneous music and messaging playback. The unit also has significantly enhanced energy efficiency.
