As a community we all have a responsibility for the duty of care for people who are less fortunate than ourselves, for example people who are in jails, prisons or mental health units.

There are several key issues; the first is protecting the people in our care from self harm, this can be due to their mental health. This could have been brought on by stress or even a chemical in balance in their mind, but they all need our care irrelevant of what is wrong.

The second issue is to protect equipment that is deployed in a mental health unit, this can be a TV or even a radio, and this is where one company has specialized in protecting flat panel televisions. Their range of non loop LCD TV enclosure provides the relevant protection for both the patient and the hardware.

Now the only real solution to deploying a flat screen TV into a caring environment is to put the display into a non loop television enclosure. These offer a complete solution for cable access into the rear of the unit, so the unit can be either flush mounted to the ceiling or even fitted in the middle of a wall without any risk of self harm.

The unit is locked with approved safe locks, resisting the most determined attempt to gain access through force; the screen is fitted with a heavy duty mounting frame and fixings to prevent heavy objects damaging the screen inside.

Even remote controls can be used from one area to switch all the screens off through one wing of a prison or hospital ward. There are options that can be fitted such as a special switch for patients to be able to change channel, to fitting stereo speakers that conform to anti ligature and non loop standards.

So no matter what the size of screen is, it can be deployed can protected from 17” up to 72” displays. And at the same time caring for our community, not bad for a Friday. This unit has been developed from their standard range of weatherproof LCD enclosure and their LCD enclosure that are used for protecting outdoor digital signage.

LCD display enclosures come under different names, so let us discover what they are and where they are used, as these are called and in many different applications.

LCD display enclosures.
This is normally associated with an LCD screen, mostly to protect the LCD from people, for example in a waiting area at a doctor. Here the screen has to be set and left so that the channel and volume can not be changed by any un-authorised person, so an LCD display enclosure is needed these are a lower class security unit that covers the front portion of the screen with adequate ventilation and an anti reflective viewing window. However the LCD display functions perfectly well with no limitations.

Advantages – Cost effective, prevent anyone who does not have authority to change the channel or volume. Used in all indoor applications.

Outdoor LCD enclosure.
As the name suggests, these are designed and used for outdoor protection. These offer vandal protection for outdoor digital signage hardware, as well as providing the relevant protection from the weather, as the weather can terminate a digital network campaign that is not protected properly.

These outdoor LCD enclosures are built to provide the best protection possible. These are bolted to an external wall or bracket then the LCD display is then mounted on to the internal TV mounting frame, once secured into position the screen is then connected to the relevant cables then the internal thermostat that controls the internal cooling and heating system is set, the front access door is closed and locked, then the unit is ready to be run.

With the use of a digital poster people are seeing opportunities in the most un-usual places, now get ready for digital signage in the rest room.

This is a place where everyone goes and is perfect for a small 30 second advert, and this is set to rock the world. But there is one thing to take note of.

With the introduction of digital posters and their in built media player, businesses are seeing ideal marketing opportunities. Now a digital poster can be deployed into rest rooms, however due to them being unsupervised there is a need to protect them, otherwise what is to stop someone taking one? Yes you can screw them to the wall, but a regular can see how they are fastened and come prepared with the tools needed.

Now LCD Enclosure Global have developed a solution for digital posters and it will prevent unauthorised removal, the unit they have developed covers the poster and is perfectly ventilated even the audio can be heard through the wall case, constructed from steel and powder coated black these are fastened to the wall with special anti theft fasteners and a dedicated tool is supplied, so no one else will have the correct tool to remove the case.

Even night clubs are a safe bet now, as these digital wall cases are supplied with ¼” thick polycarbonate window that has a special coating applied that is anti scratch and anti reflective, perfect for any area that could be referred to as hazardous.

Digital posters can now be fitted in areas that have a lot of foot traffic but also are classed less than ideal. So bars, rest rooms even truck stops are places these units can now be deployed without the price of deployment and the digital signage hardware preventing the marketing campaign stopping the project getting off the ground.

These poster wall cases are a mini version of our LCD enclosure range of products.

LCD Enclosure Global – anything else is a compromise.

LCD display enclosures are becoming increasingly popular, due to the amount of large format screens being used either in the garden or the shopping malls for digital signage.

These screens have become very popular due to the dramatic fall in prices, now a 50” LED display with the latest technology is available for $2400, so even TV models that are a few months old are below $900, putting a flat panel TV in the reach of almost everyone.

This is another reason why we see these flat panel enclosures popping up in un-usual locations, such as in zoos, aquariums, transportation hubs, shopping malls and airports. But as we all know these panels are fine indoors, when in a supervised location as a train station or museum, but challenges arise when the flat panel displays are put outdoors as they need sophisticated protection from the weather and vandalism.

Commercial use.

Here the panels are connected to media players that are either wired or wireless and connect to the internet so the content can be uploaded, so regular, fresh content can be seen to tempt shoppers into their stores. Some of these media players can even “zone” particular parts of the screen to run certain applications, such as weather information, national news updates with the main zone being used for targeted advertising.

In the backyard.

Here you can just chill out and distress from the everyday grind of business. Here is an opportunity to spend even longer in the garden. With the lower cost options for hot tubs and outdoor kitchens, people are seeing their spare time increase with the use of their backyard. So why not add an outdoor TV?

Main Challenges.

Two of the main challenges are the weather and vandalism, let us take vandalism first, this could be an accident with the children running to wide for the ball and missing it when another child has thrown it and it hits the outdoor TV.

Now let us look at the main challenge – the weather. Any type of moisture is no good for a screen, so this has to be addressed and it is easily done with an LCD enclosure, these flat screen enclosures bolts direct to the wall and completely wrap round the TV, providing a safe space for it to work in. Then when you add a heater, it is ideal for winter months in the hot tub outside and you can still watch the TV in the comfort of your backyard – can any of your work colleagues do this? I doubt it!

LCD Enclosure Global are the leading manufacturers of outdoor LCD display enclosures, forming part of their LCD enclosure range.

We all have are personal favourite meal, it may be barbeque or pasta, so to have your own personal ideal outdoor kitchen and these can come in one of the following forms.

Grill.
Here there are two kinds of cooking, standard open BBQ (also called grilling) over hot coals and smoking using hardwoods such as Oak in a sealable unit. With a smoker you burn the timber and the smoker holds the hot smoke in the unit and basically any item can be used for a smoker from a hole in the ground to a gas canister with the top third cut off and then hinged to the main part. Smoking has been associated with the more cost effective cuts of meat that don’t actually barbeque well.

Pizza oven.
Then there is the outdoor pizza oven, these are being used in backyards for celebrities such as Jamie Oliver (TV chef), Madonna (pop queen) and Gwyneth Paltrow (actress), but don’t let the thought that a pizza oven is out of your price range, there are ones on the market that can take up to eight 12” pizzas at once, but to be honest, I would personally now want to try and juggle 8 friends dinner- knowing me I would burn them all!

So no matter if you like the barbeque or the pizza oven, your friends and family can gather and select their favourite ingredients and cook it then eat it together. But what is missing? A television would just make the outdoor living space complete, the easiest and most cost effective option is to put a standard TV display outside but you have to remember to bring it in every evening, or you can put the TV into a dedicated protective TV case also called an LCD enclosure, this would protect it from showers of rain and accidental contact when ball games are played in the backyard.

What is best about the summer? Is it spending time and food with the people you think the most of? If it is, why not make it more comfortable by entertaining the children?

I for one know when we get the January I know it will only be a matter of a few months until I can spend some extended time with my family and to me there is nothing better than spending time with my loved ones. Now we can really enjoy the summer by utilising an outside kitchen.

The best outdoor kitchen I have seen was a neighbours and he had a huge grill that ran for 10 feet that also have a refrigerator and an ice section built into the work top along with a sink unit, the appliances were made from stainless steel and from May till October this was left out and believe me it was well used.

Just after the Holidays I got talking to him regarding the summer and he told me his plans, to put a large television outside near his outside kitchen, the reason (and yes I bought in to it), was that if the grandchildren are occupied the adults have a more pleasurable time, then when the children go in for a nap the parents can watch the game.

What a fantastic idea or is it a dream? You get to eat good food and share it with the ones you love, what more can a man ask for apart from viewing the game at the same time. Now dreaming is a reality, but there are a limited number of options.

The first is an outdoor waterproof television, but now due to the football tournament (FIFA World Cup) the demand for these outdoor televisions globally has outstripped stock and the wholesalers and retailers are not likely to get new stock until mid July when the summer will be half over.

The second option is to put a standard LCD TV into an outdoor LCD enclosure, these boxes are thermostatically controlled ensuring the internal temperature is maintained no matter what the outdoor temperature is.

Or the third choice is to deploy an outdoor home cinema in your backyard but this will depend upon the size and space you have available in your backyard.

LCD Enclosure Global manufacture outdoor LCD enclosures for screens from 17″ to 80″, these are perfect for home, outdoor kitchens as well as outdoor digital signage.

From SAP to SCADA every manufacturer is looking for an edge to save money, no matter if it is reducing wastage or informing employees of new contracts won, factory information systems are the way forward.

Manufacturers are very competitive as we all know, so when they are looking to improve their presence in the market place, their IT or Sigma Six team liaise to find the right solution, not the solutions range from computerising the factory floor, or implementing a factory information system, this can work well as well as providing information on the news of the employer, they can be used to highlight the employee of the month, this could be the person who has created the least wastage with the most production output.

So how does this work?

Well to display information to employees in an open large area these screens have to be large so a 60” screen is not uncommon. These can be mounted from the ceiling and either is in a single or double configuration. These can also be used to provide staff training, as the training can be loaded on a central server in the global head office, it is then scheduled for a particular time and staffs attend, before, during or after their shift.

Large companies with manufacturing facilities are looking to Six Sigma to provide a solution, so they are looking into large format LCD and plasma screens to display information to staff providing an informative factory information system.

Now if you want to display factory information, there are solutions out there that will not break the bank, a rugged LCD enclosure is perfect and is rather more cost effective than you may think, even a stainless steel LCD enclosure is perfect for any food environment, providing maximum protection with minimal maintenance.

LCD Enclosure Global offer a range of enclosures for the digital signage market as well as factory floors, a selection of their LCD enclosures have deplotyed in food manufacturers throughout the world including Canada, America and Australia.

An LCD enclosure can be used for many applications from protection thousands of dollars worth of digital signage hardware to protecting factory information systems.

When anyone or any company wants to deploy large screens in unconventional areas such as factory floors to provide information for staff and visitors alike, they need to protect the hardware and the easiest, most cost effective solution is an LCD enclosure.

Now the units are available in mild steel then powder coated black for general manufacturing environments, however when the enclosures are being deployed into factory environments where there is water present normally in pharmaceutical and food production areas a stainless steel LCD enclosure is required, this comes with the bleaches and chemicals that are used during the wash down process at the end of the production shift.

Some units can even house two screens in a back to back formation for mounting from gantries for displaying production information in isles so any manager can see at a glance if there is a problem with production in their section. These come with two internal mounting frames that the televisions mount on with the facility to mount a thin client or small factor PC in between the screens, so that everything is stored in one protective unit.

Cable access is through waterproof cable glands to IP68 (European water ingress standard) or NEMA 4X (USA standard).

The viewing window is specially manufactured with an anti glare, none reflective surface so the screen is visible at almost any angle.
