Panasonic’s newest LCD display, the LFX6, is designed for outdoor digital signage applications. The 47-inch TH-47LFX6U is spec’d at 1,000 cd/m2 of brightness — even in direct sunlight — and is rated at IP44-level dust and water resistance.

The LFX6 is designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions such as heat, humidity, extreme cold and high brightness and features a corrosion-resistant aluminum cabinet and tempered glass that allows for safe outdoor use.

The display can be mounted horizontally or vertically for flexible installation, and includes a weatherproof seal around all power and signal cables, while preventing tampering. Unlike most outdoor displays, which require separate enclosures, the LFX6 requires none.

The multi-projector era has arrived! The VESA standards organization recently voted to support the Multiple Projector Common Data Interchange (MPCDI) standard. This is the same organization that developed a majority of the video standards in use today including DisplayPort. Mersive and a host of other companies operating in the multi-projector space (i.e. AMD, Barco, Christie, Disney) came together more than a year ago with the goal of standardizing how multi-projector walls can be deployed and used.

The central goal of the standard was to allow companies like Mersive who are able to automatically compute how to blend a group of projectors into a single seamless image to connect that data to the variety of systems that implement the actual warp/blend at system runtime. This way graphics card companies like NVIDIA and AMD, image correction and control hardware companies like Jupiter, and even projector manufactures can load and implement multi-projector alignment solutions without having to integrate with us each time.

It’s summertime so our thinking is no deeper than the swimming pool. The Acronn WindLED Rollable 12 is already at the pool.

It does have the advantage of complete water resistance for both front and back, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Thanks to a 12.5mm pixel pitch, 15% transparency and quick rollout design, the Acronn WindLED Rollable 12 can be used to create imposing stage sets, on a small budget and with little installation time.

The SMD LEDs and the specific hardware on this IP65-rated unit provide high quality images you can swim by.

Barco LiveDots introduces the V14m, a 14 mm pixel pitch transparent LED display - with 4300 nits brightness and a contrast of 6000:1.

Designed for the rental and staging market, the V14m is a lightweight LED display that is easy to set up thanks to its special magnetic V-lock. It offers rental companies the flexibility to use the V14m both indoors and outdoors and its low weight allows them to build large dynamic video backdrops on stage, as well as side screens on lightweight trusses. The V14m is available now for commercial distribution.

“We are proud to expand our V series LED display with a sixth member,” says Carl Rijsbrack, CMO of Barco LiveDots. “With the V14m, rental companies can create large backdrops for both indoor and outdoor stages, whether straight or curved. What’s more, it’s also ideally suited for overhead and ceiling screens.”
