Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I use the LCD Screens?
LCD Screens can be used in the windows and the interiors of retail stores, office reception areas, museums,
travel information offices, government departments, schools and colleges, on exhibition stands.
Do you need specialist knowledge to upload the digital media?
No, the media can be easily uploaded by non technical staff.
What type of files can I run on the display screen?
You can have a mixture of still images, video files and sound files to create stunning presentations. Media can literally be changed in minutes by downloading data on to a compact flash card. The unit runs jpegs, mpeg 1 & 2 and MP3 files.
How do you get the images and media onto the screen?
Simply download your images and media onto a compact flash card. All CF cards will work but for video use high speed cards only (x 40) This ensures that the video image runs smoothly. You will require a standard CF card reader (USB).
Can I edit the content directly from on the screen?
Yes, A remote control allows you to edit slide shows, delete jpegs, adjust the sound and a lot more. You cannot edit the video files (i.e. mpeg 1 & 2) -this will have to be done on your PC, before loading the media files onto your CF card.
How much space will I need to allow for my display?
The units are incredibly slim -only 53 mm in deep. This design has totally revolutionised the way you can incorporate multi-media presentations in your displays., as you require very little space.
How do I select the correct method of supporting the LCD screen in my premises or on my exhibition stand?
The LCD units are extremely light and compacted and run from low-voltage power. This means you have numerous options:
- Integrate the LCD screen into a suspended rod display which can be fixed between floor and ceiling or ceiling suspended only.
- Fix the unit to a wall or panel
- Mount the unit on to a free-standing post or frame
- Counter top display
- Standard Vesa mounts
How does the power get to the unit?
- On the suspended rod displays, the power passes via the supporting pencil slim rods with a 12 volt current. What this means is that you see no visible power supply and a transformer is normally positioned in a suspended ceiling or hidden discreetly.
- Where a digital screen is mounted directly to the wall or fitted onto a freestanding unit, a transformer is plugged directly into the back of the screen and the cable management is made as discreet as possible.
In both cases you will either need an electrical spur or a 3 pin plug.
Do I need an installer to fit the units?
All suspended units powered via the rod system must be fitted by an trained installer. Free-standing units powered with a transformer which plugs directly into the LCD screen are simple to install by following easy assembly instructions, thus making the units ideal for use on exhibition stands and non permanent displays.
We can provide a full national installation service. All units are fully guaranteed, plus comprehensive maintenance contracts are available.
Cold Cathode Light Boxes
When you add light to a sales message you can increase sales by up to 107%. In contrast an non illuminated display will only increase sales by up to 54%.
Where can I use the Cold Cathode Light boxes?
Cold Cathode Light boxes can be used in the windows and the interiors of retail stores, office reception areas, museums, travel information offices, government departments, schools and colleges, on exhibition stands.
What make this light box unique?
The units are suspended from and powered via 6mm diameter rods to create eye catching presentations. Ultra slim CCF tubes are positioned in the sides of the light box and a special panel reflects the light to give a totally even spread of light, eliminating shadows.
What size is the light box?
The light boxes will take a poster 420 x 297 mm (A3). Units can be used portrait or landscape. The units are incredibly slim -only 25 mm in depth, and are available in single sided or double sided versions. The silver plastic frame is only 40 mm wide.
Why do you not see any power cables?
Low-voltage power is supplied via pencil slim rods.
How do I change the poster?
A plastic cover is held with silver magnetic strips to hold the poster in position. It is not obvious how to change the poster thus making it tamper proof.
What type of poster do I put into the light box?
You can use standard 90 gsm paper and create an poster with a photocopier/printer. This means posters can be changed frequently at very low cost. Best results will be achieved with smooth paper that has no water marks. Alternatively any backlit inkjets or duratans can be used.
How bright is bright?
Incredibly bright - approximately 2000 lux. The graphics are equally as bright if the box is single or double sided.
