Open Pluggable Specification (OPS)
Turn your StarBoard into a full Windows computer
OPS is an industry standard for connecting computer devices to StarBoard interactive displays through our universal internal slot — easy to install, maintain and upgrade.
Why OPS
A standardised, versatile and easy-to-maintain solution
Standardisation
