Geniatech walks through three product tracks that sit at the intersection of digital signage playback, edge inference, and ultra-low-power ePaper. The “classic” signage player focus is straightforward integration: HDMI input/output models for looping content, and higher-density units built for multi-display layouts where one box can feed several screens while still fitting into standard CMS workflows. https://www.geniatech.com/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The more interesting twist is where signage hardware becomes an on-prem compute node. They describe an edge AI configuration around a 40 TOPS NPU-class accelerator, aimed at running small vision models locally and even deploying a side-loaded LLM up to roughly 7B parameters, depending on memory and runtime constraints. In practice, that points to applications like audience measurement, dwell-time and behavior analytics, and camera-driven context that can adapt creative, scheduling, or content rules without round-tripping raw video to cloud.
On the ePaper side, Geniatech positions itself as an ODM layer that removes the “hard part” of E Ink driving for existing signage ecosystems. The pitch is plug-and-play compatibility: Linux and Android-based controller stacks, custom TCON/driver know-how, and interface boards that let a conventional signage player keep its CMS unchanged while ePaper gets proper waveform control, ghosting mitigation, and partial update support where only a price/date region refreshes.
The demo leans into large-format color ePaper (including a 28.5-inch class panel) doing live, localized partial refresh that feels closer to print than to LCD motion, while staying power-frugal enough for battery and even solar-backed deployments. This was filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, and it frames Geniatech’s strategy as “one backend, multiple front panels”: HDMI video walls when you need motion, and Spectra-class ePaper when you want sunlight readability, near-zero idle power, and selective refresh at the edge.
