Using PCs for AQUAJI and Digital Signage
AQUAJI works great on a Windows 10 PC because Intel processors include the VPU components needed for AI-enhanced computer vision. PCs can also be used for the distribution of your digital signage. You save by combining both applications on a single device.
PCs running on the Microsoft Windows OS are also easier to integrate into an existing IT environment. Windows PCs also benefit from Active Directory support and SSO user rights.
Current Windows PCs offer unmatched performance and durability. If required, you can also add up to two Mustang-V100-MX8 cards, for a total of 16 additional VPUs per PC.
