Mounting Outdoor Electronic Equipment From A Ceiling
The nature of outdoor digital signage is that is can be proudly located anywhere outside, given that the right solution is utilized, here are some factors to take into consideration
When installing dynamic signage outside you have to make sure that the mounting bracket is manufactured to cope with the weather, for example you would not want to use an interior bracket as this certainly would not be weatherproof and these are usually chrome plated that in time will discolor and demand exchanging.
The weight of a standard 46″ LCD monitor is 60lbs, then the ads player 3lb and not forgetting the 46″ LCD enclosure (that gives the watertight protection) at 100lb plus the accessories such as cables, you are looking at a rough total of 165lbs now conventional inside brackets (for home-based use) are only manufactured to take the display with no peripherals such as the media player and without doubt not an enclosure.
So the mounting system has to be heavy duty, these ranges that are made for dynamic advertising use offer a choice of cost effective mounting solutions for televisions up to and including 70″, these can be mounted either as a single screen in either upright or portrait or a twin TV format, back to back again in either portrait or landscape.
In addition to the brackets the columns can be extended for numerous height locations, at 4″ increments, the mounting plate for the protecting LCD housing can be angled from being flat to 18 degrees being sure everyone can see the marketing and advertising material.
Cables are unseen in side the column in a cable raceway to make the installation look neat. The units are created from steel and have a special coating that protects them from the tough climate in the open and this stops them from rusting.
These ceiling mounts have been utilized in football and baseball stadiums and even at open-air music festivals, so that viewers can see the action on the stand if they are too far away or in a location where they cannot see the stage.
Now there is a company who are developing a reclining bracket for a unique deployment in Florida for 60″ displays that will be located outdoors.
