Visel QS-VERTICAL BOX Summary Queue Management Monitor

Overview

Product description and context
QS-VERTICAL BOX is a client box with an Android operating system that allows you to view, suitably connected in HDMI to a monitor, the history or summary of the shift numbering related to each existing service. In addition to queue management, you can view an image playlist enriched by weather forecasts and RSS news headlines. The product is compatible with Visel Cloud

How it works

This product requires a monitor, TV, or device that has an HDMI input and possibly speakers to play audio. QS-VERTICAL BOX also needs to be connected to the same network (LAN or WiFi) as a queue management server (such as Q-System or MicroTouch) the display calls and if the internet is available it can show weather forecasts and/or breaking news via RSS FEED.

First Installation

Unpackaging

Installing QS-VERTICAL BOX consists of a few simple steps:

  • Remove the box from the package and insert the batteries into the supplied remote control
  • Connect the box to the power supply
  • Connect the network cable
  • Connect the HDMI cable to the monitor
  • Setup the HDMI source to the monitor
  • Wait for the system loading

After initialization, the main screen shown in Figure 1 will appear on the monitor. These operations are common for every QS-VERTICAL BOX installed.

Voice Alternatives
This product takes advantage of the features of Google’s pre-installed text-to-speech engine. If the voice used is not to your liking you can install a different text-to-speech engine directly from Google Play (the Android digital store) upon the addition of a Google account on the BOX. To add a Google account, insert a mouse (or use the supplied remote control) and navigate to Settings -> Accounts and then add your Google account. Among the text-to-speech engines on the market, Visel recommends Vocalizer TTS which provides voices in many more languages than the basic one. Each item can be purchased directly from the store or within the app itself. To enable an alternative text-to-speech engine, simply go to Settings -> Language and Immision -> Text-to-speech output and enable the alternative engine. For more information about TTS Vocalizers, visit this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.codefactory.vocalizertts&hl=en_US
