XONA Media introduces DVD+Digital kiosks
December 22, 2009
Hot on the heels of launching its "Instant Movie Download" ("XIMD") technology, XONA Media also has the immediate availability of its new MK3 DVD+Digital Kiosk.
XONA is billing the MK3 as the world's most advanced and cost-effective entertainment kiosk platform and says it's the only system that rents DVDs, Blu-ray discs and disc-based games; supports secure, instant movie downloads to flash-based storage or burning on-demand to recordable DVD; and enables Netflix-type subscription rental programs including online reservations and the capability to rent at a kiosk and return by mail.
The company also is trumpeting the MK3's low price point — with systems starting under $5,000, as compared to the $15,000-25,000 price range of older legacy systems.
"With more than 300,000 ATMs in the U.S., it's easy to see that today's 30,000 DVD kiosks are just the tip of the iceberg," XONA Media CEO Pete Popcke said in a release. "With years of experience from Hollywood Video, Sonic Solutions, DVD Play, Premier Retail Networks and Zoom Systems, our team set out to engineer a new platform, built from the ground up to deliver the lower costs and increased flexibility that the next wave of movie retailers require."
MK3 DVD+Digital Capabilities:
- 300 disc capacity, expandable to 700 discs, in four square feet of space.
- Instant Movie Download (XIMD) capabilities protect the kiosk investment by enabling DVD and digital distribution from a single machine.
- Engaging, 22" high ultra-definition touch screen interface and support for additional digital advertising screens.
- Configuration options which allow the MK3 DVD+Digital kiosk to be optimized for a wide variety of store locations — placed on a standard retail counter without disrupting sight lines, or converted into a freestanding system complete with integrated light box, digital sign, and retail racking.
