Display-first
Four panels from a 100 mm board
The AR200CA quotes 2× HDMI 2.1 4K plus 2× Type-C with DP 4K. Four simultaneous panels from a 100×100 mm board.
Industry route · Digital signage
Screen walls that outlast the campaign.
A signage player pushes pixels to panels in a shopping center for months, unattended. The screen count decides the board; the memory ceiling decides the player class. Every model below quotes its display outputs on the datasheet.
4 simultaneous panels
Dual 2.5G LAN
DDR5 96GB
What the screen wall asks for
What the application demands
A player is a display engine that happens to live behind a panel. Three requirements separate it from a desktop PC.
Network
Two networks, not one
Dual 2.5G LAN on all three models keeps the content feed separate from the management path. A broken uplink cannot strand a screen wall.
Compute
Layers need memory
Ryzen AI 9 365 on the HK800CA and Core Ultra Arrow Lake on the AR200CA render rich layers. The TL500CA covers standard playback fleets.
Recommended boards
Three players for the screen wall.
Display counts, memory and LAN are quoted from the model datasheets. Nothing added.

Install
A 100 mm board behind the panel.
The HK800CA and AR200CA add M.2 2280 NVMe for a local content cache; playback survives an uplink hiccup.

Digital signage fit
Count the panels first, then check the memory ceiling. Confirm revision and configuration before design freeze.

Digital signage, answered.
Panel count and network separation. The two answers that size a player.
The AR200CA quotes 2× HDMI 2.1 4K plus 2× Type-C with DP 4K, four simultaneous panels. The HK800CA drives three and the TL500CA a dual-screen set.
