Outdoor digital signage solutions.

Outdoor digital signage is the major growth industry to be in, with the development of new technology the solutions are becoming more innovative and unique enabling businesses to advertising in areas and to specific types of customers for a lesser cost than historical advertising solutions.

We have all see the massive electronic advertising billboards at the side of the road, now there is a more cost effective solution for outdoor digital signage and this is the flexible video wall.

What is a flexible video wall? Another outdoor digital signage solution

Well this is a mass of LED diodes that are wired together to form an area 1 metre wide x 5 metres long with over 2,500 LED’s per 1 square metre section, what this does is provide a vivid colour (life like), but the benefits do not stop there, as well as providing a massive image or video presentation they also reduce costs.

Ok back to the beginning, these diodes are on a flexible backing, so they can be rolled up or folded, reducing storage space, normally in the case of music festivals enormous video walls are made from baying together thin bezel screens, then the image and video is tiled across the screens using sender and receivers.

Fitting a video wall.

Normally a video wall at a music concert can take up to 4 hours for 2 men to assembly, this flexible video wall, can from taking it out of the box to running a test video take up to 60 minutes, what a cost saving in man hours. Rather than having to mount the heavy screens to the support structure all you need to do with a flexible video wall is connect the top of the video wall to clamps on the top rig then attach clamps at the sides and bottom, pulling the tensioning straps on the back of the video wall taking up any slack.

Storing a video wall.

Unlike the conventional video wall and the issue of storing large flat panel screens and the mounting frames, a flexible video wall reduces storage and transportation costs by 80%, due to the ability for the product to be stored in a roll or folded up.

Now a flexible video wall that is perfect for all weather conditions except snow – but who would want to be out in sub zero temperatures watching adverts?

These waterproof and dustproof solutions are as competitively priced as a regular outdoor digital signage solution with the added benefit that if the location is to be moved on a regular basis cost savings in labours time as well as storage and transportation costs will prove the flexible video wall as a perfect advertising medium for tradeshows, exhibitions, football stadiums, music concerts, demonstrations and rallies.

To recap.

It is reported that anyone using a flexible video wall over a regular thin bezel video wall solution will save 80% on installation time, will use 80% less space for storage as well as saving 80% on transportation costs. The initial investment is around the same as the old technology of the thin bezel video wall but any installer or event organiser can see the opportunities with this product.

LCD Enclosure Global explain.

Dynamic advertising is even encroaching on our leisure time, but in a good way, now you will see digital signage at the beach, but let us look at the challenges in deploying digital signage in a beach location.

When any digital signage hardware is used outdoors you do have to consider the environment it is located in, for example will the digital advertising solution be located in direct sunlight, this can cause all sorts of problems, as this will cause the TV to over heat in the LCD enclosure.

Everything has to be thought of, from the sun to the salt in the air, for example in heavy salt air, this will cause any digital signage solution to fail, as the salt crystals will get into the screen and corrode the circuit broads in the hardware and TV, so a special outdoor LCD enclosure has to be used, not just any outdoor TV enclosure, but a stainless steel enclosure as one particular grade of stainless steel is used for beach and marine products and that is grade 316, as this has a high chromium content in the steel and drastically reduces any corrosion that is present in the air, these are also used in food and pharmaceutical applications due to the high contact to bleach based fluids.

Stainless steel LCD enclosure.

The stylish finish of a stainless steel LCD enclosure is amazing as normally the well heeled frequent harbour and beach locations on a regular basis, just look at the clientele who own yachts and boats, so they would not tolerate a shabby looking solution.

If a steel LCD enclosure was used, this would be attacked with the salt that is present in the air and cause the LCD enclosure to rust possibly in the first month; this is why 316 stainless steel is the preferred choice. This would certainly look off putting to wealth guests, so this additional reason is why stainless steel is used.

So what could be advertised on beach or harbour based digital signage, well the yacht club could promote their bar and restaurant, whilst local boat chandlery stores could promote their products and services, appealing directly with boat owners.

Weather conditions could be displayed so that anyone taking a trip is aware of potential hurricane and storm conditions coming their way.

Now if the harbour club had a WIFI hot spot, an interactive digital LCD poster could be used, they could use it as a form of way finding and find out what restaurants are available at the port they will stay at next and even make a reservation for a meal in the restaurant. This would involve connecting the digital poster to the Internet so that the customer could touch the port on the map and then make their selection from the restaurants, bars, shows and even check out the weather before they get their.

Digital signage is every where and being used to enhance customers experiences, others are using dynamic advertising to increase brand awareness and advertise the new seasons range of clothes. But what ever reason they use them for, remember when you are drinking your Mai-Tai where you heard about digital signage on the beach.

LCD Enclosure – Various Kinds Of Units

An LCD enclosure is available in different materials; discover why the different materials are used.

Normally an LCD enclosure is manufactured from mild steel and powder coated to provide the relevant protection for outdoor digital signage, here the enclosure will be subjected to all kinds of weather form rain, snow, sleet and high temperatures, so ensure the enclosure you choose for outdoor digital signage protection has been hot dipped in zinc to prevent corrosion.

LCD enclosure – Why Hot dipped?

If the LCD enclosure is not hot dipped in a zinc compound, this compound forms a galvanised finish on the base metal that protects from rust attacking the steel. Then the steel LCD enclosure is then powder coated, the reason fro this process is that if for some reason such as a vandal or hooligan tries to damage the enclosure and chips the top coat of paint, the base material is still protected by the galvanised coating, otherwise the base material will start to rust and the enclosure eventually will have to be replaced before it should.

So next time you are looking for a steel LCD enclosure, ask them if it is hot dipped and get them to give you addition information, if they have to email you later, they obviously do not know their product and more than likely will not hot dip the enclosures.

Stainless steel LCD enclosure.

Now in some applications, customers require a stainless steel unit, this could be in a food environment or just used to display factory information systems, and the entire plant is washed down at the end of every working day.

Stainless steel material is available in three types Ferritic, Austenitic and Martensitic, these contain different compounds and there is only one that has the most Chromium (this is a corrosion inhibitor), so ask any potential what material their stainless steel is and if they do actually manufacturer them they will know instantly.

However they are several LCD enclosure manufacturers who buy in components from third world suppliers, getting the lowest priced product possible and assemble them, the problem with this is they will have no control over the material used, so you have no idea and they cannot guarantee what material the product will be made from.

However, LCD Enclosure Global who is a manufacturer can even supply material test certificates that the product purchased was made from.

LCD Enclosure – Safeguard against Winter Damage

An LCD enclosure is the perfect way to protect any outdoor digital signage throughout winter, when temperatures can get as low as -20 Fahrenheit.

LCD Enclosure – Alround protection.

When an outdoor digital signage project is thought out and planned, usually the hardware is protected, not just for the winter, but all through the year. For instance, if the hardware was not cooled enough during the spring or summer the screen and media player will simply cook inside the enclosure, this is why the cooling system that is supplied with any outdoor LCD enclosure is thermostatically controlled, some even have the facility to send an email when a sudden rise in internal temperature to the audio-visual manager who can shut down the hardware remotely.

Then on the other end of the year, when winter arrives, we have to look at heating, so the better LCD enclosure manufacturers offer the heaters with a thermostatic control, so that the internal heater can start to heat the hardware inside before it gets to cold and causes untold damage.

There are many manufacturers who offer a cooling system that is not thermostatically controlled, offering this is an optional extra, however you do have to question their experience in the industry as the most effective way is to cool the inside of the enclosure as and when required, not have a fan unit working all the time – this is not good for business or for the planet using unnecessary energy.

Organisations understand the need to build in to their projects some kind of disaster policy, this could be from something like a hurricane to the digital signage being damaged or stolen, but the most effective way is to put them into an LCD enclosure that offers control over the cooling and heating with thermostats as standard.

When the above points are considered, an installation in March should have the same protection as an installation in November.
