Retail Digital Signage Solution

The receiver module sits behind the screen and runs off the panel's internal 5 V rail, so nothing shows from the front. One transmitter at the control point feeds several screens. Moving a screen or changing the layout later means remounting the receiver, not opening walls for new cable.

PAIN POINTS

Pain Points

01

Hung screens are hard to wire

HDMI for a hung screen has to come down from above the ceiling or along the drop rod. That means working at height and opening ceiling tiles. Exposed conduit spoils the look of the store, and hiding it depends on the fit-out schedule.

02

Breaking walls costs money

Every run from the control point to a screen needs a channel cut, conduit laid and the wall made good. Stores that are trading can usually only do this at night or while closed, so the cost goes well beyond the cable.

03

Every redesign means new cable

Seasonal layouts and new customer flows move the screens. The old cable lengths and outlet points no longer line up, so the cable gets pulled again, sometimes through another hole in the wall.

04

An extra box and socket behind every screen

An external receiver box needs its own adapter and socket, adding a tangle behind the screen. Hung and wall-mounted screens have little room back there, the box and adapter are hard to hide, and each one is another thing that can fail.

Receiver hidden behind the panel

The module measures 22 × 45 mm and plugs into your own carrier board through an 80-pin edge connector, so the board can be shaped around the space and mounting points behind the screen. From the front there is no receiver box to see.

Powered from the screen's 5 V rail

The receiver takes power from the screen's internal 5 V rail, so there is no extra adapter or socket behind the panel. Module VBUS is 3.7-5.1 V and anything above 5.1 V damages it, so measure that rail and confirm it stays inside the window first.

One transmitter, many screens

A control PC or media player feeds one transmitter, and the receivers behind each screen pick up the same picture, with embedded HDMI audio carried alongside. Receivers ship pre-paired with the transmitter and link on power-up, so installers mount them, switch on, and have nothing to configure screen by screen.

Re-layout means moving a receiver

When a screen moves, its receiver moves with it and relinks on power-up, with no new cable. Choose the wireless tier from the control-to-screen distance, about 30-100 m, 100-300 m or 300-1000 m, and confirm with a sample on site.

SELECTION

Selection & Design Notes

  1. Measure the screen's internal rail before tapping it. It must sit within VBUS 3.7-5.1 V; anything above 5.1 V damages the module.
  2. Lay out the receiver carrier board for the space behind the screen and keep the antenna clear of the metal back panel and enclosure. Confirm range with a sample.
  3. Pick the wireless tier from site distance: about 30-100 m, 100-300 m or 300-1000 m. Boards for the 300-1000 m tier need two antenna connections.
  4. 4K30 TX and RX can share one carrier board. 4K60 TX and RX need separate boards, and boards cannot be swapped between the 4K30 and 4K60 models.
FAQ

FAQ

Q1Can the screen's 5 V rail power the receiver directly?
Yes, provided that rail stays within the module's VBUS range of 3.7-5.1 V. Anything above 5.1 V damages the module, so measure the actual voltage inside the screen rather than relying on the nominal figure.
Q2How big is the receiver module? Will it fit behind the screen?
The module is 22 × 45 mm and plugs into your own carrier board through an 80-pin edge connector, so the board outline can follow the space behind the screen. We supply the pinout and 2D/3D models so you can check space and antenna position during mechanical design.
Q3What do we get for evaluation?
We provide the ATE946X-KIT evaluation kit with a demo carrier board and antenna, plus the demo board schematic and PCB reference, pinout and 2D/3D models for designing a board that fits behind your screen. Certification documents are provided for your sales region.
Q4Can you build the signage link as OEM / PCBA?
Yes. We design the boards to your form factor, interfaces and range, handle ODM development and PCBA production, and offer white-label OEM; or buy the modules and design the carrier yourself. Validate link, range and picture with the ATE946X-KIT before prototyping.

Docking

Wireless Casting Dock (USB-C Hub)

Laptops have few ports, so monitors, keyboard and mouse, Ethernet and charging all need adapters, and casting in a meeting room means carrying yet another dongle.
