Behind all the sounds with substance and the eyecatching visuals is our hardware - the Startle Player.
The Startle Player was designed to manage all your audio and visual branding solutions.
The Startle Player means that all your music and signage is managed from one place.
Our unified player is designed to manage your messaging in-house, end-to-end.
The player works with HDMI connections, 3.5mm jacks, Sonos and Chromecast hardware.
Just as we work closely with you, our players work in harmony when there’s multiple devices on one network.
Easily synchronise your audio and visual content, across screens.
Plug and play with our auto configuration, where one player on a network can configure another.
Content sharing between devices dramatically reduces bandwidth usage.
We know that retail and hospitality brands can sometimes have complex needs - luckily, our hardware can meet them.
Connect your player easily via ethernet or WiFi, with static or dynamic IP addressing.
Utilise caching, to help with any network interruptions and improve performance.
With proxies, firewalls, and secure outbound-only comms, you’re in safe hands.
The Startle Player is efficient and compact meaning its shipping footprint is tiny. They come packaged in recyclable cardboard, printed with planet friendly inks, and can even be scheduled to turn your screens on and off to save energy.
Our players receive instructions from our Studio platform and report back on health statuses for continuous proactive monitoring. In the unlikely event that you need new hardware, we guarantee free replacements, and our Relentless Support™ team are on hand 24/7/365 to help.
To connect the Startle Player itself, all you’ll need is a power source and internet. Then, it can connect to either traditional amps, Sonos, or speakers that support Chromecast, as well as the screens in your venue via HDMI.
We know that even the best tech has its problems sometimes. That’s why the Startle Player has a built-in memory, so you’re covered for a while even if your internet goes offline.
In the very unlikely event that your player breaks, we will happily send you one. That’s part of our Relentless Support™ guarantee.
