Hive has introduced the next level of creative media playback with two new additions to its Beeblade product range.
Beeblade Minima and Beeblade Osmia are joining Beeblade Pluto as part of the wider ecosystem, offering users more media playback solutions that work with a wide range of project types. Additionally, Hive is also launching the brand-new Beehive 5U rack mountable chassis at ISE 2024.
Beeblade is an approach to media playback that integrates into any Smart Display Module (SDM) compatible display or projector.
Joining the Pluto Beeblade, the Beeblade Minima is Hive’s newest HD player with the lowest technical specification. The new Beeblade Osmia is a mid-range solution that can achieve 4K media and 4K output capacity.
The Beeblade range is simple to integrate and features a user interface that can be accessed from any modern browser. The Beeblade family can also live in Hive’s Beebox and Beehive units.
The Beebox is a custom-designed portable enclosure that can be placed next to display technology if there is no in-built SDM slot. Beehive is a 5U chassis that can hold up to 16 Beeblades so that you can create a system that suits the unique nature of your project.
Hive’s Beehive is designed so that every part of it serves a purpose. Whether you fill the Beehive or use it partially populated, each Beeblade SDM slot has its own network connection. HDMI output and isolated visual display on the front of the chassis help you create the exact number of video playback channels and control that you need.
Designed to be better for the planet, the product ecosystem is constructed without any unnecessary features, creating more compact, intuitive, and greener systems.
“These new media playback products represent Hive’s natural evolution in technology advancements, providing visionaries with the most efficient tools to enable the most ambitious of ideas to come to life organically,” explained Mark Calvert, Hive Managing Director & Co-founder. “We are very happy to bring new products to the market that do not cost the earth, and at the same time are naturally easy to use and maintain.”
