With the DF614 and AE614, Concept International is upgrading two more Giada digital signage and industrial PCs to the latest Intel Core generation (“Raptor Lake-U Refresh”). As a result, the systems are now available with the new Core 3 and Core 5 processors (100U/120U). The older 12th generation is no longer available, and the 13th generation will be phased out by the end of the year.
The digital signage players gain more CPU performance but remain unchanged externally. Giada continues to rely on its proven features and ports. This ensures consistency even during ongoing rollouts. Lifecycle updates for existing installations with the latest technology are thus possible even in challenging installation scenarios without significant effort. This also eliminates the need for complex new software images for older hardware.
With the latest processor architecture, Giada and Concept International are extending the availability of these proven players.
The DF614 is designed as a fanless signage player—silent and dust-resistant—for classic “semi-rugged” digital signage installations. The compact system supports up to three displays via HDMI and DisplayPort and offers dual LAN, Wi-Fi 6/6E, and optional 4G.
The AE614, which is also fanless, is particularly well-suited for industrial and outdoor kiosk installations, with an extended temperature range of -20 °C to 60 °C, resistance to humidity levels of up to 90 percent, a 12–24-volt power supply, and additional industrial interfaces such as RS232/422/485.
“The DF614 is the classic, fanless 24/7 digital signage and kiosk player, while the AE614 offers rugged industrial features,” said Mike Finckh, Managing Director of Concept International, the exclusive Giada distributor in the DACH region. “Above all, however, both players offer excellent value for money, reliable stability, and long-term availability.”
Both systems support 24/7 operation, watchdog functions, and RTC-controlled boot-up and shutdown, making them suitable for long-term digital signage, kiosk, and embedded projects.

Concept International offers the Giada DS players with Windows 11 or Linux Ubuntu (both 64-bit).
