BEFORE

21 Philips video wall displays were used to create a 3×3 screen and a 4×3 screen. Each screen was mounted onto a pop-out bracket and daisy chained with DVI cables. The content was controlled and updated remotely from a Windows media player running embed.

At the time of installation, video walls were by far the best solution available. Fast-forward a couple of years and this is not the case. LED screens are fast becoming, if not already, the go-to option for large displays thanks to many benefits, with some being listed below. The drastic drop in price is also a huge benefit and now in some cases makes LED cheaper than video walls, therefore being the most cost-effective solution.

AFTER

Absen A275 1.5mm pixel pitch panels were chosen to create a 6×6 screen and a 8×6 screen, where they are daisy chained with power and data. The dimensions of the new screens are almost an exact match using 84 LED panels.

After installing some additional hardware, each screen benefits from 4 inputs, PIP options and audio, which is all controlled from an easy to use touchscreen, running embed. The space can now be used to inform, educate, entertain and through video conferencing and casting hardware, arrange and hold meetings.

BEZEL FREE

Even when using the slimmest bezel possible, each video wall display is still noticeable. LED benefits from a modular concept that fit together to offer a truly seamless canvas with no disruption to the content.

NO DISRUPTION

If, and when, a video wall display goes faulty you could potentially lose a large section or your screen. However, a pixel failure with LED is less catastrophic and usually goes unnoticed by the untrained eye.

COLOUR REPRODUCTION

Over time, like any LCD display, the colours will fade and in a video wall become inconsistant. Thanks to batch production and intense testing, LED guarentees unifrom and accurate colour representation.

UK Health Security Agency – Video Wall Installation

When the UK Health Security Agency approached us with their project to supply and install a customisable visual backdrop for their recording studio, we worked closely with them to evaluate lots of options including Direct-View LED, Large single screen LFD Displays and Video Walls with various configurations and technology.

After a period of evaluation, UKHSA settled on a beautiful 2×3 Samsung 1.8mm combined bezel Video Wall offering 3840 x 3240 resolution for their studio backdrop. The video wall is mounted on a B-Tech AV Mounts freestanding trolley allowing UKHSA to move the backdrop at will.

“Eclipse Digital Media has been an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, they supported me with my ambitious idea and were completely honest about all aspects of the project, offering critical advice and support throughout. Installation was seamless and they worked tirelessly throughout the day, even going above and beyond to make sure everything was millimetre perfect – which for a project like this is so important. The end result is fantastic and I’d happily recommend them for future projects.”
Thomas Wellburn, Multimedia Content Manager – UK Health Security Agency

DIGITAL SIGNAGE INSIGHTS: FOOD SECTOR

FREE Digital Menu Board Layout

Digital Signage in the Food Sector is quickly becoming, if not already the norm. With the ability to quickly update products, pricing and information with just a few clicks.

The aim of this post is to provide insight, and spark some interest into how Digital Signage could be used within the Food & Drink Sector. Showcase ways in which we have implemented Digital Signage solutions for some awesome establishments and how you could too. We’ll even provide a free basic Digital Menu Board Layout to get you started.

DIGITAL MENU BOARDS…

HARDWARE

Comes in all shapes and sizes. Commonly, larger displays are used in both landscape and portrait for behind the counter, smaller displays are designed for current offers and impulse buys for placement in front of the till. Interactive solutions are needed to drive higher customer engagement and display larger, specific information such as allergy requirements.

A more conclusive list of Digital Menu Board solutions can be found here.

SOFTWARE

With the internet of things becoming a reality. One thing that makes perfect sense is to be able to update your offers, menu boards and pricing information from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, with a few clicks or even automatically. With increasing numbers of software solutions on the market it can be a hard to find whats suitable.
Having worked with many software/hardware solutions, two that we can recommend are ONELAN and embed signage.
We hold certified reseller status for both.

INSTALLATION

Most commonly hung from the celing or wall mounted in sets of 3 or more. Using displays such as the Samsung Smart Signage Platform, there is no need for an additional media player, resulting in a quick and easy install with only power and either ethernet or WiFi connectivity. Not to forget the overall aesthetic advantages.

CONTENT

Less is most certainly more when it comes to digital menu boards. Make each item as legible as possible taking into account the number of items on the board, screen size, font size and viewing distance.
Great food photography can transform your signage substantially although can be a costly investment. Stock imagery sites such as the ‘Picture Pantry‘ and ‘Shutterstock‘ can offer high quality images at an affordable price.

Creating the content yourself? Some great content tips can be found here.
