Cisco Interactive Experience Client 4650
The Cisco Interactive Experience Client 4650 devices (see Figure 2) are enterprise-grade configurable and
manageable web clients designed to deliver interactive multimedia services for public venues, on high-definition
(HD) digital displays and kiosks. The 4650 is part of the Cisco Expereince Platform, which is both developer and IT
friendly.
The 4650 features a COBRA web browser, which is a comprehensive interactive display application development
platform with integrated JavaScript API access to multimedia, peripheral, and system resources. The browser was
developed for highly reliable, embedded kiosk, digital-signage, and collaboration applications. Content developers
are encouraged to use familiar design tools, such as HTML and JavaScript, to develop fully functioning interactive
applications. To optimize client performance, an application should use the available native components. Native
components are available in the form of a browser API and essentially move resource-intensive or asynchronously
used components outside the browser processing space.
In addition to support for plug-ins such as Adobe Flash Player, the browser provides several proprietary devices,
which can be configured and controlled from JavaScript, to simplify the development effort. Examples of these
devices include a video player, which supports most video and audio formats, and codecs, and a ticker device.
The COBRA web browser supports touchscreens and features kinetic scrolling, a virtual navigational panel, and a
virtual keyboard. External keyboards and mice are supported for accessibility compliance and administration.
Content is integrated with the current service selection to provide highly effective targeted advertising. Applications
are displayed in templates that also contain zones for Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, web-based services,
and advertising content. With built-in support for voice and video communications, many collaboration applications
can be rapidly developed and delivered. For example, with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) client, users can
make video calls from kiosks to a virtual concierge or customer service agent who can then provide assistance to
the user. Skills- and language-based routing can also be supported by a third-party application.

The 4650 supports a comprehensive set of peripherals, including cameras for video collaboration, touchscreens,
printers, speakers, microphones, magnetic card readers, barcode scanners, and headsets for the hearing impaired.
It also includes an HDMI port. The 4650 is configured and managed remotely by Cisco Interactive Experience
Manager, an advanced, web-based management portal with a menu-based GUI. With the Interactive Experience
Manager, administrators can register the 4650.
