LCD Enclosure Made use of To Guard Advertising Equipment
When digital signage is fitted outside, there is a demand from customers to protect the marketing and advertising computer hardware using a digital signage enclosure, this is necessary if the project is to have any possibility of success.
So what digital signage equipment is need for a standard project?
Content Player.
This is the hardware that stores all the advertising material on some kind of internal memory, this can be possibly a solid state system (which are a little more high priced – but worth it), or using a memory card to keep the content on. The gadgets size is as big as a set top box and managed by infra red remote control, so you can set up how the media is shown.
Also in this player is the program, this is what makes them different, is the way they can divide the flat screen to have different areas on one screen, advertising different items.
Refreshing media.
Then you have to think about how the content will be refreshed with new ads, this is one of the primary stumbling blocks, as the memory card solution involves somebody to go to each spot and refresh the content manually, this can be laborious as well as labour intensive and you can bet that some of the digital advertising will be still operating the old adverts.
The solid state appliance can be revised using the world-wide-web, from either a wireless or wired connection, making changing digital signage content material a breeze and saving time and funds in labour costs.
Typically for indoor applications such as in bars and dining places the media player is either attached directly to the back of the monitor or in a area close by, but if the equipment is going to be used outside on a wired solution the media player needs to have cables to the location this is why some solutions are installed on outside walls with the player indoors using a waterproof TV.
LCD flat panel screen.
These are specifically made for commercial use, with more effective elements than a conventional TV used in our homes, as these commercial monitors are usually running 24×7 and generally with a life span of 50,000 hours.
One of the principal distinctions is these monitors as opposed to a home television set is that they can be installed in a portrait place and using the media player and TV controls the picture is presented in the portrait position, this cannot be produced properly with any aesthetically pleasing presentation on a domestic TV as there would be far too much black area on the screen.
So what if you position is in the heart of an outdoor court in a shopping local retailer?
Well this is where a monitor enclosure is applied, as an LCD case will defend the advertising electronics from the weather conditions and any prospective vandalism. The digital signage housing has enough internal space to accommodate the flat panel monitor and the marketing player can either be postioned on the back of the screen or on the internal mounting frame for the screen, providing a complete solution.
These metal LCD enclosures are robust and offer great safeguards from vandals, with solid viewing windows and security locks.
