When it comes to ultimate family vacations, Kalahari Resorts is at the top of the list. From the moment you arrive at any of their four resorts, you immediately become immersed in the Kalahari experience. […]
Most of the PR that comes in about work in resorts tends to be for casinos, and the giant displays the owners put into the sports books and on the sides of the building. Here’s a good example of a digital signage install across a full report property, in this case the new family-focused, non-casino in Round Rock, Texas (Austin). The 1.5 million sq. […]
This is brilliant stuff … famous works of art digitized and playfully integrated with old-school mechanical devices to make them interactive. The exhibit is called Mechanical Masterpieces – a collection of paintings reimagined by artist Neil Mendoza for the 21st century. […]
One of the key arguments made for using direct view LED is its modularity – the ability to build a video wall that meets shapes that aren’t just 16:9 rectangles. Here’s a modest little DV LED video display done by integrator AVI SPL for Advent Health, that shows what can be done with LED, that couldn’t really be done with LCD or OLED. […]
The madly spinning LED wands that started showing up at AV trade shows maybe four years ago have always been good at attracting crowds at booths, but I’ve not seen or read much that suggests broad adoption in the real world. […]
I’ve written a few times about the hardened, engineered coatings that some direct view LED manufacturers are using on their modules to better protect against damage. It’s been a little hard to explain and even harder to show in trade show photos I’ve grabbed, but this close-up comparison image does a good job. […]
The digital OOH startup that sees a business model in putting high bright LCDs on the backs of commercial vehicles has done a substantial deal to put screens on panel vans owned by the smart infrastructure firm Siemens. […]
Most of the marketing and much of the design execution for LED has been focused, rightly, on increasingly fine pixel pitch displays and tight resolutions, but there’s an interested diversion some designers are taking with addressable LED lights. […]
The commercial display company PPDS, aka Philips, has announced the completion of a smart digital signage rollout to some 700 Kwik Trip convenience stores across the U.S. midwest. The c-store chain started a modernization program in 2018 and now has more than 1,000 screens in place – all of them Philips D-Line displays with embedded Android media players. […]
It can be said that without a good source, a digital display becomes secondary. We can say that with poor signal distribution, the images do not “transport” properly and lack integrity. And we can say without bandwidth, those mysterious images on the network or in the cloud arrive late or cannot even be seen. […]
I’m about a year and a half into my career as an AV media personality, and I’m constantly amazed at the technology and innovation this incredibly unique industry displays every day. However, what doesn’t get me excited are the non-technical hardware and mounting solutions that help secure these displays, cameras, speakers, microphones and other devices. […]
COVID-19 was bad for just about every industry, so it is no surprise that the digital signage display business had a rough 2020. New numbers from the research firm Omdia suggests overall 2020 public information display shipments were down 9.8% year-on-year. But, a little surprisingly, Latin America, Japan, and the China region actually saw some growth opportunities. […]
The Society for Information Display (SID) has opened registration for its annual Display Week trade show and conference, which will again be all virtual, running May 17-21. […]
As organizations across every industry become more digital as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, smart buildings are becoming an even larger opportunity for the pro AV industry than ever before. That is according to Sean Wargo, senior director of market intelligence at AVIXA, who presented some illuminating market research at this week’s RISE Spotlight event on smart buildings. […]
This is the broadcast set for ESPN’s football coverage in Colombia, and part of the visual sizzle is an LED video wall. As the brief video in the tweet embedded below shows, it is probably a good idea to affix DV LED walls to the back wall, or if that is not feasible, at least use a mounting system with wide enough “feet” or anchor bolts that will ensure it stays upright. […]
