KUMO V – Digital signage PC with Nvidia RTX 2060

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: KUMO V – Digital signage PC with Nvidia RTX 2060.

spo-comm has introduced a new digital signage player for high-end graphics performance: the KUMO V. It is equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor and an Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics card.

Turing for artificial intelligence

The new model has a dedicated graphics card: an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB integrated GDDR6 memory and 1920 CUDA cores. Due to Nvidia's Turing architecture, the Mini-PC offers real-time ray tracing, AI computing power and new shading technologies, that are made for ultra-high-performance graphics applications, virtual reality and innovative AI algorithms.

Multimonitor in 4K

Being a graphics specialist, a resolution of 4 x 4K@60Hz is easy-peasy for the KUMO V. In addition to the graphics card, performance is ensured by an Intel Core i5-9300H QuadCore processor with 2.40 GHz (max. 4.10 GHz), which is supported by up to 32 GB DDR4 RAM. In addition, two mass storage media can be installed. One HDD or SSD with up to 960 GB and an m.2 SSD. All of this is packed in compact dimensions of 206 * 203 * 60 mm and can be easily installed using the included wall mount. A VESA mount is also available as an option.

Terrific variety of connections

The front of the industrial PC is presented in the usual simple KUMO design. In addition to the power button, there are only an SD card reader, two audio connectors (line-out and mic-in) and two USB 3.1 interfaces (one of which is Type C). The back has a lot more to offer: four USB 3.0, two LAN interfaces and, for multimedia, two HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4 and another DisplayPort, which is implemented via a USB Type-C connection. Two antenna connectors complement the optionally available Wi-Fi.

Linux and Windows 10

There are no surprises when choosing the software. Like all current spo-comm industrial PCs, the KUMO V is also available with Windows 10 in the Home, Professional or IoT Enterprise version. However, even convinced Linux users will get their money's worth with the digital signage player.

Those who develop performance-hungry applications and require enormous performance are well advised with the KUMO V.
