subject: Outdoor Digital Signage - Safeguarding Publishers Expense [print this page] Out of doors electronic marketing is all about return on investment, so let us see at how to safeguard that expenditure to make it possible for the project to be a rewarding campaign.
Let us look at what is needed first to create a digital outdoor signage solution.
The Screen.
This is the principal portion you think of when anyone talks about a digital sign, as this is what demonstrates the attention grabbing ads, these range in sizes from 26 up to a huge 80 and you must employ for a television that has HDMI and USB connectors, this will be looked at later.
On the back of the screen will be a mounting pattern, commonly called to as the VESA mount, this will make it possible for the television to be postioned on a wall.
Content player.
This is the computer hardware that stores the adverts and plays them, these are usually powered from the mains but to up-date the subject material the selections are almost endless, from wired solutions using computer network cabling, or wireless solutions, then there is the 3G solution these allow media to be modified and refreshed whilst the digital sign is on the move, such as in a cab, so for stationary dynamic advertising the widespread unit is the hard-wired ad player. The better solutions are the solid state units that have no moving pieces, as this means the moving parts will not wear out.
Now the above electronics jointly cost from $2,500 to $19,000, so investing this amount of capital needs to considered carefully, if the investment is not guarded the equipment could be damaged or even stolen, this is where an LCD enclosure comes in, as these defend the technology from the weather and likely harm.
Let us look at the attributes of a monitor enclosure case:
Water-resistant - These models supply a sealed water-tight solution and these Monitor enclosures can even be hosed down with high pressure water jets while the internal components is kept perfectly dry.
Vandal Proof - A theft proof solution has to be equiped with special high security locks on the entry door, the inside mounting frame is locked with anti theft bolts that only the tool holder can access them.
Considering these points in mind, a digital outdoor signage marketing can be safe so the investment in the hardware and the project is protected, ensuring the undertaking has a chance of thriving.
