This is a new two-sided 30-foot by 10-foot direct view LED display at the arrivals hall at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 4, which is mostly known as a Delta terminal. It’s a curved NanoLumens Nixel LED that displays ads, interspersed with flight information, time, news and weather. […]
A new commercial tower in Chicago called 150 North Riverside has lit up what looks to be a pretty amazing video wall/experiential digital art sculpture in its lobby, using a staggered series of direct view LED columns. […]
Leyard is at the 2017 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show this week in Las Vegas, showing a fine pixel pitch LED video wall that supports multi-touch interactivity. It’s an overlay of some kind, but isn’t glass, so it doesn’t cause glare or, more importantly, trap the heat that can build up from all those LEDs. […]
Humberview Volkswagen in Toronto did a big reno recently that was finished off by a massive 2 by 8 video wall on the showroom bulkhead wall. The 27-foot by four-foot video wall has 16 ultra-narrow-bezel 46-inch LCDs that can run a single large image or up to four media pieces side by side, using a digital video matrix that includes five distinct video sources. […]
Guest Post: Richard Murton, Display Technology Touchscreens are now a part of everyday life through their use in mobiles, tablets and at retail outlets, but it is a technology that is still evolving in an attempt to meet the needs of users and businesses. […]
Guest Post: Luis Villafane, Maler Luis Villafane I love when people reply to my guest posts here. I really enjoy knowing that someone is reading what I have to say, and that they have something to either add, thank me for, or disagree. The experience gives a nice “high” to my ego. […]
Given that NanoLumens CEO Rick Cope is a retired United States Marine Corps officer and has an old Stinger missile in his office, it will be of no great surprise that his political views may tilt a bit to the right and that he supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order to buy American-made goods. […]
I tend to think of Peerless-AV as one of the big guys when it comes to display mounting solutions that come off walls and bolt to ceilings, but the Chicago-based company also has a pretty broad set of enclosure systems that serve as freestanding kiosks. […]
The connector cables and fiddly bits seem to be going or gone from the latest generations of indoor LED displays. This is the back of an AOTO display that was in the company’s booth at InfoComm China. I watched a couple of guys tear down a big LED wall used for a press conference in a side room at the show, and the things were coming off at a clip of about 10 seconds per tile. […]
Back from Beijing after several days spent talking and walking at InfoComm China, and waaaay too many hours on my butt flying home. Thanks first to John Wang and Amanda Sung of IAdea, and the rest of the folks from the Digital Signage Multimedia Alliance (of Taiwan) for working with InfoComm to have me over there. I did a 40-minute session on the rise and rise of data-driven signage. […]
Probably the most interesting thing I saw in a quick walk around several halls at InfoComm China in Beijing on Wednesday was a Shanghai company called Pallas, which has tech that does a really good job of making the seams in LCD video walls visually go away. It uses something called active bezel tech – which the guy at the booth told me was using LED. […]
Guest Post: Brett Farley, NanoLumens Part 2: The Considerations of That In-House Network Selling the Media There are a number of different ways to sell your media network to advertisers and a clear strategy allowing for all the variances to drive toward your end game of maximizing your sales revenue need to be considered. Brett Farley Some advertisers are happy to be “part of the mix. […]
Guest Post: Brett Farley, NanoLumens Part 1: Think About It First … We’ve seen a trend where I work with large real estate ownership and management groups are either initiating their own advertising sales teams and networks, or having outsourced that function unsuccessfully, reclaiming ownership of that function and taking it back “in house. […]
Guest Post: Tim Griffin, Userful Tim Griffin Video walls are everywhere and companies are looking for creative ways to use them. Gone are the days of slapping together a grid of a few displays and playing content around them. Customers are looking for artistic layouts, interactive content, dynamic content switching, immersive experiences, and more. […]
A little bar and restaurant down the highway from me in Stratford, Ontario has worked out that putting in digital signage displays has saved them 182 hours in labor costs annually. Until a big reno in 2013, Bentley’s Bar, Inn & Restaurant did their daily menu specials, beer boards and martini boards all by hand – chalking it all in on blackboards. […]
