DDC Gen4: Digital Display Controller

Description
Specifications

The DDC Gen4 is Simpleway’s digital display controller. One compact, fanless unit drives up to three displays at 4K and runs live FIDS content, video, and rich media around the clock. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and Simpleway CX already installed, so it is ready to deploy out of the box.

Key benefits:

  • Drives up to three 4K displays from one compact unit
  • Fanless aluminum construction, with no fan and no moving parts to fail or collect dust
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet keeps it on the network if one connection drops
  • Ships ready to run, with Windows 11 Pro and Simpleway CX preinstalled
  • Built for continuous 24/7 operation

How it works:

The DDC Gen4 connects to your displays over HDMI and DisplayPort and drives them from the Airport CX platform, so flight information, wayfinding, advertising, and any other content appear exactly as scheduled. Its fanless aluminum case makes no noise and draws in no dust, which matters in public areas and equipment rooms, and the lack of moving parts means there is less to fail over years of continuous use. Dual Ethernet ports provide network redundancy, so a single dropped connection does not take a display offline. Industrial-grade components are rated for round-the-clock operation, and the compact form factor fits behind a display, in a rack, or in an equipment cabinet.
