Giada VM27 Intel Elkhart Lake Fanless Signage Players with Dual 4K Output

A signage player mounted in a reception, classroom or waiting room sits close to people all day, so a fan that hums or gathers dust is a real drawback. The Giada VM27 series is a family of fanless signage players that avoids it, using Intel Elkhart Lake processors with passive cooling in a compact unit that mounts behind a screen with an optional VESA kit. With no fan there is no airflow drawing dust inside the unit, and nothing to replace over the life of the screen.

Every VM27 has 4 GB of onboard LPDDR4-2666 and 64 GB of onboard eMMC 5.1, with 8 GB of memory and 32 GB of eMMC offered as options, so each player is complete without fitted drives. A full-size Mini-PCIe socket takes an mSATA drive when content libraries grow. Intel UHD Graphics drive one HDMI and one DisplayPort output, each up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, a DB9 RS232 port and separate microphone and audio-out jacks cover touch, display control and sound.

The VM27 series has three builds, all at 6.5 W TDP. The VM27-N6210 uses the dual-core Intel Celeron N6210 at up to 2.6 GHz, suited to single-content screens. The VM27-N6211 uses the dual-core Celeron N6211 at up to 3.0 GHz. The VM27-N6415 uses the Intel Pentium N6415 with four cores at up to 3.0 GHz, the build to choose for two busy screens or a browser-based content application. All three share the same I/O, memory, eMMC and mounting options, so a mixed estate can use one player design and one operating system image across every screen.

Typical VM27 deployments include reception and lobby screens, waiting room information, retail and menu boards, and classroom displays. Networking is a Realtek gigabit Ethernet port, with an M.2 E-Key slot for an optional Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 card. Remote power on, watchdog, auto power on and a real-time clock support scheduled, unattended playback. The Giada VM27 fanless players run from a 19 V DC input and are rated from 0 °C to 45 °C at up to 95% humidity, non-condensing, with CE, FCC Class B and UKCA marks. Giada also lists Ubuntu support alongside Windows 11.
