The OPS885 digital signage player is powered by the high-performance 4th Generation Intel Core i5 processor (Codename: Haswell) which incorporates advanced 22 nm technology via the Mobile Intel QM87 Express chipset.

“The OPS885 is designed to make digital signage applications more intelligent and easier to install, use and maintain,” comments Robert Wang, director of sales and marketing for Axiomtek's digital signage business unit.

The signage module also provides superb graphics performance, full HD content playback, and dual display presentations."
