Hive just added to the Beeblade media player 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 “in harmony with a wide range of project types.”

Beeblade uses a different approach to media playback that integrates into any Smart Display Module (SDM) compatible display or projector. Joining the Pluto Beeblade — which is designed for large-scale mapping projects — the Beeblade Minima is Hive’s newest HD player with the lowest technical specifications. The new Beeblade Osmia is a mid-range solution that can achieve 4K media and 4K output capacity.

The Beebox is a custom-designed portable enclosure that can be placed next to display technology if there is no built-in SDM slot. Beehive is a 5U chassis that can hold up to 16 Beeblades so that you can create a system custom for any project. Whether you fill the Beehive or use it partially populated, each Beeblade SDM slot has its 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 controls you need.
