Meeting Standard Visual Communication Needs: BXP-100
Small businesses often struggle to communicate their messages effectively without breaking the bank. They need digital signage solutions that are both reliable and affordable, delivering clear, high-quality visuals that engage their audience.
Enter the BXP-100 Phantom, the first lightweight and compact-designed, Android-based digital signage player in Qbic’s lineup. The BXP-100 offers businesses unparalleled flexibility, making it easy to mount in tight spaces. Despite its small form factor, the BXP-100 delivers stunning 4K resolution at 60FPS, ensuring your content looks sharp and professional.
Ideal for corporate communications, menus, schedules, and advertisements, the BXP-100 Phantom is suited for corporate offices, education institutions, and retail stores. It strikes the perfect balance between cost, size, and performance, making it an excellent choice for businesses seeking effective digital signage on a budget.
Enhanced Connectivity for Standard Use: FHD-200
Businesses looking to scale their operations often require affordable digital signage players that offer 4K/60FPS visual quality, robust durability, and more reliable connectivity. They need solutions to handle increased traffic, provide a seamless viewing experience, and provide reliable, fail-safe operations.
Building on the foundations that have made BXP-100 well-loved, FHD-200 is its successor designed to meet these needs with enhanced dual-band connectivity options and an external antenna, all in a small form factor. The enclosed, fanless design makes the FHD-200 a contender for whisper-silent operations in noise-free environments.
What makes FHD-200 stand apart from BXP-100 is in its housing. FHD-200’s metal housing promotes durability, better heat dissipation, making FHD-200 suited for extensive usage in challenging environmental elements, or for businesses that need to maintain a professional appearance with an affordable and scalable option.
Additionally, a crucial concern often voiced by businesses using digital signage players is reliability and maintenance. For example, retail chains may have numerous storefronts with multiple digital signage players powering promotional ad screens all day.
FHD-200 has a built-in independent watchdog timer that enables consistent operations with automatic resets in the event of system faults. Together with Qbic’s peripheral remote configuration software avaliable across all digital signage players, businesses can gain peace of mind knowing they will have remote access to the players without incurring additional maintenance costs.

The BXP-300 stands out by offering high-fidelity audio S/PDIF digital output alongside high-definition video.
BXP-300 makes enhancing the customer experience effortless, as well. In luxury retail and high-end showrooms, the quality of the audio can significantly influence the customer experience.
