Guest Post: Jeff Doud, MaxMedia Jeff Doud The bar is set so low. Everywhere you go, we are assaulted by clutter or what I would call “environmental hubbub.” Public spaces, retailers, malls, and lobbies often assume that their messaging or offers are the single most important component of their content strategy.

LED ribbon boards are very commonplace inside stadium and arena seating bowls, and along soccer pitch sidelines, but I’m not sure they are often seen inside the sports venues, along the concourses. And not at a fine pitch normally reserved for video walls. This is the concourse at Raymond James Stadium, home to the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]
This is the best video I’ve found to date about that robotic LED board in Times Square. Depending on your musical tastes, you may want to mute this one. The video is by Hong Kong-based Radius Displays, which appears to be the company behind the overall project and the robotic LED set-up the company says is patented. […]
The giant LED towers in Chicago’s Millennium Park have had an upgrade, replacing the original LED set-up with newer display tech, while retaining the integrity of the iconic public art piece. […]
Pro football’s Atlanta Falcons play their first game at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, underneath what is billed as the largest non-transparent LED video display in the world The 360-degree halo display installed above the field is 58 ft tall by 1,075 ft long, and has more than 37 million LEDs. In square feet, it is 62,000 sq. ft. […]
Maybe other companies have done this … dunno … but thought this is a pretty clever way to set up a reveal of a new LED spectacular sign. A monster wraparound LED board at 20 Times Square switches on this evening, and the manufacturer behind it, SNA Displays, has content that shows virtual curtains, which I assume are moving subtly. Clever. […]
LED billboards and signs are now commonplace, and not just in Times Square and other landmark locations in big cities. But putting in LED has its challenges. Cost is the obvious one, but there are other issues, like the engineering needed to ensure a structure can handle all the weight involved with typical LED boards. […]
The San Manuel Casino in San Bernardino, CA has added a pile of new digital as part of expansions and new features, including including a “fractured ceiling” hanging over a main walkway, and an LED tribute to Elvis. […]
Stumbled across news of Target remodelling the two-level store at the base of its head office in downtown Minneapolis, which includes a curved 71-foot wide LED screen in the upper skyway level of the entry rotunda. No real details on the tech used, what it is for and any other good stuff. […]
LOTS of interesting stuff in the new IHS Markit Digital Signage & Professional Displays Market Analysis, this one for Q2 2017. Here’s the top-line stuff in the executive summary: For the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2017), public display monitor shipments increased 2.6%, with shipments reaching over 804,000 units. […]
This beast gets officially lit up Wednesday at 7 PM in Times Square in New York – a wraparound screen corner display that will be the largest in the world using exterior-grade 8mm pitch LED display blocks. The display at 20 Times Square has more than 17,000 square feet of LED. It’s been put in by SNA Displays, having been commissioned by the investment and development firm Witkoff. […]
This is a big “brand halo” LED sign suspended over the main showroom reception desk at the new LaFontaine Ford in Birch Run, Michigan – north of Flint. It’s a fine-pitch Panasonic LED that with its metal backing and struts weighs about 1,000 pounds. It is suspended using aircraft cable. […]
The aquarium attraction at the huge Dubai Mall recently lit up a massive OLED video wall – which looks amazing. A bit lost in the shuffle was a very large transparent LED mesh fence than runs along the base of the front of the big fish tank, below that huge OLED wall. […]
More information is dribbling out about that giant robotic 3D LED board Coca-Cola switched on last week in Times Square. The vendor list is long, and the one most familiar to the digital signage community is Convergent, which is listed as doing Technology Design and Implementation, Content Management and Monitoring Services. […]
News of a stadium adding a big-ass LED screen in the stands is commonplace, but what’s interesting about an announcement involving the University of Notre Dame is ALL the fine pitch LED being added around the Fighting Irish’s historic football grounds. […]
