FN-GM Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Hello, Can anyone tell me where I can find Digital signage screen brackets similar to this please? https://www.adorama.com/cradcpu40.html We are unable to mount the PC on the back (dell optiplex micro of the screen so it will need to go onto the bracket itself. The PC can't be behind the TV itself, there isn't enough space, its too close to the wall. Thanks Edited March 9, 2017 by FN-GM
davyboi Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 RA Technology RA Technology, Website might have something, or as they make them themselves might do you a custom one.
bossman Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 @FN-GM Why not use this instead of a large computer? Introducing the Intel® Compute Stick We have used them for our Digital signage and they work a treat!

FN-GM Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) I did consider them, but by the time we have Windows on, there isn't much space left for content such as HD videos. 32GB won't stretch that far? Also are they 32 bit only? Edited March 9, 2017 by FN-GM
LeMarchand Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I did consider them, but by the time we have Windows on, there isn't much space left for content such as HD videos. 32GB won't stretch that far? Stick a micro SD in? (Or add a USB drive?)
FN-GM Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Ah didn't twig it had micro SD. What about the 32 Bit thing please?
bossman Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Ah didn't twig it had micro SD. What about the 32 Bit thing please? There are a couple of flavours bud but here is a review: Best PC Compute Sticks | Windows Central Also found this: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intel-compute-stick/000005899.html Hope this helps we bought ours a couple of years back with Windows 8.1 which was 64Bit so the Windows 10 Pro should be the same as it states here although a little pricey me thinks. You could always use a Rasberry PI as others have used on here but not as small. Good Hunting bud Edited March 9, 2017 by bossman
pete Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Have you tried bribing your friendly Technology dept with biscuits? They could knock something up with a welder, existing TV bracket, some angle iron and a bench grinder to smooth out the welds. Then just powder-coat if the oven's big enough or use some plasti-coat/dip.
FN-GM Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Hello, I got an Intel Compute stick. But the power supply is too large and so won't bit behind the TV
FN-GM Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Do you think something like this will work with the Compute Stick? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019V3OTY4/ref=twister_B019V3OMRS?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 1
newpersn Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Could you not try and run it off the tv USB ports? (Unsure what tv your using)
FN-GM Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Could you not try and run it off the tv USB ports? (Unsure what tv your using) It does have a USB 2.0 port, I have a feeling it won't be powerful enough. At home I have a PI 3 with Open Elec and the USB port on my TV isn't enough to power it and it keeps crashing. Another concern is that the stick won't be closing down properly when the TV is switched off. I have a USB A to C cable for my OnePlus 3 so I will give it a try. I also wish these sticks had the ability to switch on at a set time automatically in the BIOS. Edited March 16, 2017 by FN-GM
Arthur Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Do you think something like this will work with the Compute Stick? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019V3OTY4 I wouldn't buy that one.

FN-GM Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 It was more of an example really. But I am struggling to find an adapter that is small enough to fit behind the screen.
FN-GM Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Powering it off this might be an option? I use the existing USB C cable. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Charging-Multi-Port/dp/B00VTI8K9K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489696439&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+PowerPort+5 Looking at the anker site it has a standard plug and i should be able to stuff it all behind the TV. https://www.anker.com/products/A2052111 Edited March 16, 2017 by FN-GM

steveg Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Could you get the socket you are plugging it in to changed to something like this? There are lots of others available, first one I came across, so not sure what it's like. LAP 13A 2G SP Socket + 4.2A 4G USB Charger White | Switches & Sockets | Screwfix.com Steve

LAP 13A 2G SP Socket + 4.2A 4G USB Charger White | Switches & Sockets | Screwfix.com Steve I had thought that but 2 issues 1. PFI building so will require a change order that can take 6 months. Plus it will cost quite a lot of money. 2. Can't find any sockets that have USB-C ports. Thanks
bossman Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 @FN-GM What about these charging plugs: USB Charging Plug: Mobile Phone & PDA Accessories | eBay Second one looks good with C-type connection
Arthur Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I can't find the Anker one in stock in the UK It's in stock on Amazon? "Fulfilled by Amazon" would come from Amazon's warehouse. Btw, I have that exact Anker adapter at home if you need any measurements?
