These units consist of a floor standing steel case and depending upon the location, for example near the beach or harbor location these units would be manufactured from stainless steel. These stainless steel LCD enclosures provide all the protection from the elements. Otherwise the unit is made from rolled steel then powder coated in an external grade coating solution.
Inside the digital signage totem is an internal mounting frame in a portrait position that will accommodate most commercial grade screens with a VESA pattern up to and including 400 x 600, here there is room for a media player or a small form factor PC that will store the content locally and if a networked solution is required the unit has the facility to hard wired up to digital signage network or a wireless network.
All power and data requirements are fed through the base of the digital signage totem unit up into the main section through cable raceways, ensuring that both the data and electric cables do not run parallel as this will cause the date stream to run rather slow.
