We produce a range of outdoor TV enclosures as well as supplying digital menu board software solutions.

TV enclosures also used for digital signage.

TV enclosures are being used to protect LCD and plasma screens around pools and hot tubs as well as in digital signage applications.

TV enclosures for the pool.

Typical TV enclosures

People are working longer hours every week, so when the week end comes they insist on spending quality time with their family and friends, this can be from having a BBQ to watching the game on an outdoor TV. But when a TV is put outdoors it is best to protect in some kind of TV enclosure, these TV enclosures accommodate the screen behind a plexiglass viewing window that is locked with high security locks as it would be pointless in installing outdoor TV enclosures if they were locked with cam locks as these are opened with basic tools. Tip 1 – look for TV enclosures that are locked with high security locks – NOT cam locks!

Now when the family gathers in your back yard and people are chilling in the pool, they can now watch their favorite program because the TV enclosures provide the necessary outdoor protection.

TV enclosures for the hot tub.

Now by a hot tub, this is different as the heat is hotter than near a pool and the hot tub’s steam can then settle on the internal components including circuit boards and causes the circuit boards to rust. These TV enclosures are fitted with thermostatically controlled cooling units so no matter how hot is it outside the TV enclosures the internal hardware is kept at a constant lower temperature. Also in Canada during winter, outdoor TV enclosures are used so people can still enjoy their hot tub during the colder months, here an internal thermostatic heater is used, similar to the cooling unit.

TV enclosures for digital signage.

Local business owners are using outdoor TV enclosures to mount screens in near car lots and on sides of building to promote products and build brand awareness. Here the screen is mounted on the internal mounting frame for the display and the media player can be fixed to the mounting frame too – so it is an all in one solution.

We manufacture a range of outdoor LCD enclosures, these are sometimes called TV enclosures.

Plasma display enclosure – 101.

A plasma display enclosures is something that you would not associate with attracting passing trade into a company, yet many organizations that are on major transit routes for the London 2012 Olympics are investing in this type of solution.

What is a plasma display enclosure?

Dual plasma display enclosure

These are steel protective housings that provide 24×7 protection from the rain, snow and sunshine, whilst the plasma display runs different types of adverts on the display.

These plasma display enclosure solutions have been deployed in many locations throughout the world, but due to the low investment of this type of outdoor digital signage solution it is very popular along the transit route from the train, tube and bus routes throughout London to the Olympic Park.

Why use a plasma display enclosure?

The organizations using these outdoor TV enclosures are using them to market their products, so for instance a London pub may want to promote “Olde English” beer, now they can by using a plasma display enclosure that has a plasma display and a media player inside the enclosure providing a complete all in one advertising solution. Likewise, restaurants are using theses outdoor digital signage solutions to display their menu to passers-by, targeting the passing trade with their tempting menu options.

Now one of the main factors in deploying plasma display enclosure systems is that the weather in London can be very unpredictable, even in August is rains! So these protective plasma display enclosures are fitted with internal heating and cooling systems that are thermostatically controlled, ensuring the hardware inside the housing is at the ideal temperature.

RIO and a plasma display enclosure.

Now the pubs have calculated that if they can attract an additional 15% of tourists into their establishments over the period of the Olympics and Paralympics the ROI will be achieved in the first 2 weeks of deploying these type of solution.

Restaurants that normally do 30 covers per night can push that to 45 covers, their return on investment is less than 10 working days.

There is another option too, with this type of digital advertising, the owners of the pubs and restaurants can sell advertising space to other local (noncompeting companies) for around £200 per month for the duration of August and September, the average media player can store over 250 adverts with an average running time of 4 minutes. So if a pub or restaurant sells say 50 ads at £200 = £10,000 per month! £20,000 for the entire months of August and September and this is with doing little if any work.

We manufacture LCD enclosure units as well as plasma display enclosure units.

Outdoor digital signage enclosure.

An outdoor digital signage enclosure is a protective housing that provides both waterproof and weatherproof protection, allowing any regular television to be used outdoors.

When is an outdoor digital signage enclosure used?

Example of an outdoor digital signage enclosure

These outdoor LCD enclosure solutions are used for many purposes, from putting a TV outdoors near a hot tub, or by using them in outdoor locations for outdoor digital signage. So let us look at each solution separately.

Digital signage enclosure – this is when either an LCD or plasma screen is used for advertising, (the content is called digital signage). These units can be located in locations such as train stations, ferry terminals, airports, sidewalks, car lots and even in car washes!

Protection needed – an outdoor digital signage enclosure needs to be weatherproof, this means that snow, rain and the sun should not have any effect on the screens. They also provide a waterproof solution such as rain, washing them down with a jet wash and even putting the LCD enclosure in a car wash so the occupants of vehicles being washed can be entertained whilst their vehicle is being washed.

These outdoor waterproof enclosure solutions come complete with waterproof IP65 cable grommets to prevent water ingress through the cable apertures, the doors are sealed with a waterproof seal and the viewing window is secured with a security close form cell security tape that prevents the viewing window being prized from the steel door and also provides a waterproof seal on the window.

An outdoor weatherproof enclosure is another word for an outdoor digital signage enclosure, these are also fitted with internal heating and cooling systems that self-regulate, so they only cool or heat when the internal temperature inside the LCD enclosure drops below or rises above the temperature set on the thermostat.

Outdoor LCD enclosure solutions can be seen in many locations from Disneyland Florida, Alton Towers – UK and Wet n Wild in Florida. These are used to entertain people in the queues that results in a perceived shorter time in the queue than actual time.

No matter what you call them, these outdoor weatherproof enclosure units or outdoor digital signage enclosure solutions will be seen by many in the coming months at the 2012 London Olympics.

We manufacture a range of LCD enclosures that are used as outdoor digital signage enclosure units.

Digital signage for sporting events – 2012 London Olympics.

As the UK London Olympic Games 2012 are just around the corner, digital signage for sporting events is taking center stage in the preparations for one of the world’s greatest international spectacles of the decade. Not only will these dynamic LCD screens enhance this spectacular occasion, with their vibrant, eye catching yet informative displays, but it brings another element to the surrounding excitement. Digital signage for sporting events encompasses every element of the production, that it’s hard to imagine a world without it.

Using digital signage for sporting events.

Digital signage for sporting events

From displaying event locations, times, transport routes, the weather, public conveniences and food outlets, through to important safety information, first aid points and evacuation procedures – all of which is equally important as the other. Digital signage for sporting events can be provided in any size and in either portrait or landscape rotation. Where to locate this technology is another matter – most outdoor digital signage totem units are floor mounted, which house all the mechanics of the unit – locked away from fiddly fingers, those wanting to tamper with the soft/hardware and considerably impregnable to thieves, however they can also be ceiling hung using a special bracket, wall mounted – at any level or indeed located in the floor for an additional sensational feature.

Digital signage at sporting events – who benefits?

Any sporting event will benefit from these energetic and attention-grabbing LCD screens, as they easily draw passing attention, engaging the customer in their visual messages. These messages may be informative, giving current affairs information as well as featuring advertisements for merchandise, a product or service in association with the event. Selling additional advertising space brings in a supplementary income, which can be offset against the initial cost of the LCD screen and software package. There is also an entertainment value to the display, as customers waiting in line – the box office or food queue, are subconsciously being ‘sold’ a product or service. Sponsors and club associates are also potential advertisers to boost sales and profits.Here protection for the outdoor LCD screens is by putting the advertising screens into an LCD enclosure.

Most digital signage for sporting events are run via in-house networks from a central location, such as a digital QSR menu board but of course this is not necessary as a software company can provide all the technical support needed to keep the programs running efficiently. Using a wireless connection enables a software installer to upload and update information quickly and efficiently, with virtually no downtime, as this costs money when the digital signage isn’t working to its optimum point. Long gone are the days of displaying information in static paper billboards and now the world is embracing the evolving technology of digital signage.

We manufacture a range of outdoor LCD enclosures that are used as part of digital signage for sporting events.

QSR digital signs – the choices.

Example of QSR digital signs

Quick Service Restaurants offer just that – grab a burger and eat! But advertising your menu and displaying the facts and figures is an enormous amount of data for the traditional printed board to cope with. QSR digital signs are specifically designed to efficiently provide all the prices, menu options and nutritional facts required by our food legislation. This legislation is due to increase soon – to included the ‘carbon footprint’ created by the production of the product – from where the meat is sourced, right though to how far the workers travel to the cardboard packaging plant, which manufactures the little boxes your burger is passed to you in.

QSR digital signs inform and educate.

QSR digital signs can also be utilized to promote merchandise as a specific and targeted audience is virtually captured within the food outlet, so maximizing the potential sales by up-selling and cross-selling is massively important. The software of QSR digital signs can be structured so that every minute of service time can be utilized efficiently and effectively. This means that even otherwise ‘dead’ periods of time can be productive and profitable by scheduling the advertising on a QSR digital sign to promote a special offer. Not a moment of time or inch of space is wasted – the whole all of the QSR board means money!

To use QSR digital signs or not?

It is not only fast food outlets who are taking advantage of this niche opportunity, but large hotel chains, have realized the missed sales chances, where their guests have ventured out of the hotel premises to grab a bite for breakfast. The FBT (frequent business traveler) or indeed the leisure traveler may decline the invitation to take breakfast in the hotels restaurant – which is great and enjoyable if one has time – yet most FBT’s are carrying around their laptops, working on the program for the day and just want a coffee and a snack, like a bagel, to go.

Alternatively a particular chain of hotels has conceived an concept to accommodate their guest by providing an area within the hotel lobby which, via the ingenuity of QSR digital signs, offers a swift breakfast menu choice, gives vital information – like traffic congestion, the possibility of storms or even events being hosted within the hotel complex. With the addition of a little advertising on the side, the whole package of a QSR digital sign is quite an appealing and attractive prospect for any discerning establishment.

We manufacture LCD enclosures as well as QSR digital signs.

Waterproof LCD enclosure solutions.

Waterproof LCD enclosure units are not just used in wet or wash down environments, they can be used to protect outdoor digital signage or valuable electronics on a production line, let us look at the differences between both applications.

Waterproof LCD enclosure for production facilities.

Typical waterproof LCD enclosure

Production facilities within a factory are hostile, with not only dust and fluids present in the air; some production lines are washed down with high pressure water jets to kill bacteria in the processing areas. Now any standard hardware such as a screen or computer has to be either be a waterproof LCD or an IP rated computer, but there is an alternative and that is to use a waterproof LCD enclosure these can accommodate both the screen and a thin client in the protective casing.

Waterproof LCD enclosure housings for digital signage.

Digital signage is extensively used in both indoor and outdoor digital signage applications, but a projects investment can seriously be restricted if specific waterproof screens have to be used, this is why a waterproof LCD enclosure is a cost effective alternative. These waterproof LCD enclosures provide the necessary protection from fluids and dust and are also cooled and heated to ensure the hardware does not overheat or freeze.

Waterproof LCD enclosure security.

As you can imagine in a factory less security is required, as there are staff present most of the working day, so theft is not a real issue, this is why indoor waterproof LCD enclosures are better suited to having standard cam locks fitted.

But this is not the case when the waterproof LCD enclosures are used for outdoor digital signage, as these locations are often well populated during the day but can be considered risky locations at night, this is why a different security solution is required, such as high security locks, as a standard cam lock can be opened very quickly with basic tools and this could result in the hardware being stolen or damaged.

So selecting the right enclosure for the application is essential, as you would hate to invest in a waterproof LCD enclosure then discover the wrong unit has been purchased and the hardware is stolen, because once you renew the missing screen the thieves will be back to steal the new unit so a new secure waterproof LCD enclosure has to be purchased adding un-necessary expense to the project. Getting the right waterproof LCD enclosure is essential for any application using a screen in a hostile environment.

We manufacture a range of portrait flat panel enclosures as well as waterproof LCD enclosure solutions.

Outdoor screen enclosure.

An outdoor screen enclosure is used for protecting outdoor digital signage and is not to be mistaken with a mesh curtain around a pool in your backyard. But an outdoor screen enclosure can protect a TV by the pool and hot tubs.

Home use for an outdoor screen enclosure.

As we work harder and value our free time highly, we are rewarding ourselves with luxuries such as swimming pools and hot tubs in our backyards, but even more people are installing a TV outdoors so they can watch it from the comfort of the hot tub or pool.

Now the problem we have is a regular screen that has been manufactured for home use is not made to be put outdoors without any protection, this is why a steel outdoor screen enclosure is required as they provide the protection needed to deal with all kinds of weather and even potential theft.

Many outdoor screen enclosure manufacturers fit standard compression cam locks on their products however the only problem is that any basic tool such as a screw driver or knife can open these locks, the better outdoor screen enclosure units are locked with high security locks that can only be opened with a key.

Each unit has ideally to be mount flat to the wall preventing any would be thief from using the gap between the enclosure and the bracket to pries the enclosure with the screen inside from the wall using a steel pipe and stealing both the screen and the enclosure.

Digital signage screens now replacing noticeboards.

Example of a digital signage screen

The old noticeboards had served their purpose and now they are being replaced with electronic noticeboards, these are the same as a digital signage screen and provide both commercials and information about products and the company. these range in size from desk mounted units of 20″ up to giant wall mounted units with a 65″ digital signage screen.

Protecting digital signage screen solutions.

This is done with the assistant of an enclosure and depending upon the application for example if the unit is going some place very humid or extremely cold the LCD enclosure must provide the relevant protection and that means heating and cooling when necessary. Some people consider that they have to install an air curtain in the outdoor LCD enclosure to cool the front of the screen – the main reason air curtains are needed is that the screen is mounted too close to the viewing window and heat is trapped between the gap and causes pixels to fail even in commercial grade screens.

The best solution, is one that is equipped with thermostatic cooling and heating and the screen site back between 2 and 4 inches from the viewing window.

Another thing to consider is if the screen is too near the viewing window and a vandal throws a stone at the window this could flex (as polycarbonate does) and actually impact on the screen, causing the LCD screen to smash!

We manufacture various protective, outdoor LCD enclosures including portrait flat panel enclosure solutions that are used to protect digital signage screen applications.
