Bright in the Light

It can be challenging to see digital signage when the sun is shining on it. Planar's outdoor LED displays are high brightness with models delivering as much as 6,000 nits, making them easy for the audience to see even in direct sunlight,

Technical considerations

BRIGHTNESS

LED is the brightest display technology, making it the clear choice for outdoor solutions. Video wall brightness is measured in nits. The higher nit rating, the higher the brightness. Outdoor panels require a minimum brightness rating of 5,000 nits to allow for visibility under direct sunlight, and can reach as high as 10,000+ nits.

OUTDOOR DURABILITY

An LED panel’s resistance to nature’s elements is measured with its IP rating. An IP rating (short for ingress protection rating) is written as “IP” followed by 2 digits. The first digit indicates the panel’s protection against solids (such as dirt and dust), and the second indicates protection against liquid (such as rain).

Outdoor video walls require a rating of IP65. IP65 indicates full protection against solids and high protection against liquids at low pressure.

PIXEL DENSITY

A pixel is the smallest addressable element on a raster image. They are those little dots that you see on the LED panel. Thousands, sometimes millions of these dots combine to form one large seamless image.

Pixel pitch is the unit of measurement for how tightly packed together these pixels are. Pixel pitch is the distance, in millimeters, between the center of 2 pixels on an LED panel. Pixel pitch is often written as P(number). For example, a P10 screen would have a pitch of 10mm, meaning that the pixels are spaced 10 millimeters apart from each other.

Pixel pitch is an important factor to consider in relation to viewing distances. Lower pitches (higher pixel densities) are required for closer viewing distances. Screens intended for far-away viewing, such as billboards, are better served with a higher pitch. Outdoor video walls tend to have a higher pixel pitch than indoor ones, since they are usually for viewing from farther away viewing distances.

SMD VS. DIP

A pixel is comprised of the colors red, green, and blue. With DIP, these 3 colors are separated, and with SMD, the colors are soldered together.

SMD LED tends to offer higher image detail and smoother color accuracy whereas DIP LED is brighter and more durable. Both are popular technologies for outdoor applications.

SIZE

Video wall panels are usually between 1 and 4 square meters in size. The bigger the screen, the more panels required to form the display. Farther away viewing distances require larger sizes. When determining the size of your video wall, it is important to factor in viewing distances, budget, and the look and feel that you would like to capture.

ASPECT RATIO

The aspect ratio of a screen is a measurement of a screen’s proportion of its width to its height. A screen with a 1:1 or square aspect ratio would have a width equal to its height. A 2:1 aspect ratio screen would have a width of double its height, and so-on. The standard aspect ratio of most video is 16:9.

If you plan on displaying full-screen 16:9 content, then your video wall will need to be 16:9 as well. If you are considering a screen with a custom aspect ratio, keep in mind that you may need to custom-design your content to fit the screen proportionately.

CONSTRUCTION

Some popular construction methods for outdoor video walls include:

• Ground supported – The screen sits on the ground.
• Wall mounted – The screen is mounted to the wall.
• Flown – The screen is hung from a structure above it.
• Pole mounted – The screen is mounted from a vertical pole.
• Truss supported – The screen is mounted with aluminum truss equipment.
• Mobile – The screen is mounted onto a truck or trailer.

 Your LED provider will work with you to develop the best construction solution based on the look that you would like to accomplish, its application, and the surrounding infrastructure,
