Simplifying Digital Signage

The digital out of home industry (Dooh) is quagmire of technical expressions, complicated business strategies and hardware challenges often involving multi-discipline teams of software engineers, networking specialists, AV engineers and advertisers.

All this can make embarking in digital signage a complete headache and also invoke large set-up costs, the return on which may never be forthcoming.

And the problem is amplified when you start thinking about outdoor digital signage when the costs of waterproof or outdoor screens are taken into account making it all a highly expensive prospect.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. While many digital signage projects are left to the experts, some users choose to embark on their own – and it is not as hard as you think.

There are many budget options available for digital signage that requires little or no expertise to enable it to function. Digital posters are one such solution. These indoor screens have everything required to run a simple campaign: The screen, digital signage housing, and a media player where content can be uploaded.

These turn-key solutions are easily erected on walls and are ready to upload content and used – pretty much straight out of the box.

Even the heady world of outdoor digital signage can be made simpler. Rather than investing in an expensive outdoor screen, a standard device can be taken outdoors, no matter what the weather, as long as it is well enough protected.

LCD enclosures are commonly used to protect screens from weather and temperature extremes present in outdoor locations. They can house almost any type of standard or commercial screen and keep it protected from almost any conditions: snow, rain, wind, hail and airborne dust are all kept out of the enclosure ensuring the screen can operate without problems.

There is often room for a small PC or media player in these LCD enclosures too so you can keep the content uploading device out of the elements too.

Outdoor Digital Signage Menu Board

INSIGHT DIGITAL SIGNAGE, the leading manufacturer of protective enclosures

for LCD and plasma display equipment, has introduced a completely weather

proof Digital Menu Board enclosure product.

The Digital Menu Board enclosure has been designed to endure even the

harshest of environments while constantly providing complete protection to

the LCD it houses. In the dead of winter, or in a desert heat storm, the

Digital Menu board enclosure maintains an appropriate internal temperature,

preventing any costly downtime and replacement from freezing or overheating.

The completely water proof Digital Menu Board will stand the test of time

where ever the location may be.

The Outdoor Digital Menu Board can serve as a single screen unit, or multiple

units can be attached for double screen menus and even triple screen menus.

The Outdoor Digital Menu Board will easily coincide with any existing signs,

advertisements, or menus already in place.

Digital Menu Boards allow users to convey their message more effectively than

static menu boards and reduces the cost of creating new graphics. With a

high bright display your menu board will be highly visible even in the

brightest sunlight. Our Digital Menu Board can even display eye catching

advertisements in addition to the menu products. Insight Digital Signage’s

Outdoor Digital Menu Board provides the most attractive and the least costly

solution for any outdoor menu need.

http://www.insightdigitalsignage.com/products_digital_menu_board.html

Digital menu boards for restaurant drive up windows are just one example of

outdoor digital signage. Similar to indoor digital signage, where LCDs are

used for advertising, branding, promotion and information, outdoor

applications take these vulnerable electronic units outdoors to where there

is typically a larger audience. Using LCDs outdoors does require protection

against rain, snow, wind, and vandalism. Proprietary and very expensive

outdoor LCDs are on the market, but the cost is usually far too great.

Perhaps the best solution for protection, value, and flexibility for LCD

displays in an outdoor environment is an LCD Enclosure. They can be

customized to suit almost any environment protecting any type of LCD display

from all elements and they are also far more cost effective than outdoor

rated LCDs.

In addition to outdoor digital signage enclosures, PC and LCD TV enclosures

are the perfect solution to display company or production information in wet

or dusty industrial environments such as factory or shop floors. Prices of

LCD and plasma televisions continue to drop. The falling prices are

encouraging LCD purchases for factory production floors for use in pushing

training content, quality control, sales data, production data and more to

the production floor.

The NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X PC and LCD enclosures are built with strong steel

material to withstand the harshest of environments, including pressurized

moisture, rain, dust, dirt, tampering, wind, oil, grease and more. Standard

cooling fans and optional AC units, heaters, and thermostats insure that the

LCD and/or PC inside the enclosure remains protected in any environment, even

outdoor, public, and industrial factory or plant environments that could and

can be very harsh.

Insight Digital Signage (A Division of PC

Enclosures, Inc.) is the leading manufacturer of

protective digital signage enclosures. Our

digital signage and LCD enclosures are the

perfect advertising solution for any location and

budget.
