When digital signage is used outdoors, there is a requirement to defend the advertising electronics using an LCD monitor enclosure, this is necessary if the project is to have any probability of success.

Let us look at the digital signage electronics first to comprehend what is wanted in such a project.

Media Player.

A content player is a gadget that contains the content on, it can be images, videos as well as sound, all this is located on a hard drive, this can be a solid state player or a memory card based player.. The systems size is as big as a set top box and managed by infra red remote control, so you can set up how the media is exhibited.

The software is integrated into the media player and this is where it gets interested, as there is the method to slip the screen for advertising and selling distinct goods in different zones of the display.

Updating Advertisings.

Then you have to think of how the video will be renewed with new advertising campaigns, this is one of the primary stumbling blocks, as the memory card device demands somebody to go to each site and revise the content manually, this can be mind-numbing as well as time consuming and you can bet that some of the digital advertising will be still operating the old ads.

The solid state electronics can be updated using the web, from either a WiFi or wired connection, making posting digital signage content a breeze and saving time and funds in labour costs.

Normally for indoor purposes such as in pubs and eateries the advertising player is either attached directly to the back of the filter or in a position close by, but if the equipment is going to be used outdoors on a wired solution the marketing player needs to have cables to the location this is why some solutions are fitted on external walls with the player inside using a water proof TV.

LCD TV.

These are specially developed for industrial use, with more sturdy pieces than a conventional TV used in our homes, as these commercial monitors are commonly running 24x7 and usually with a life span of 50,000 hours.

One of the most important dissimilarities is these displays compared to a domestic television set is that they can be installed in a portrait place and using the media player and remote controls the picture is presented in the portrait position, this cannot be produced properly with any aesthetically pleasing presentation on a domestic TV as there would be far too much black area on the screen.

So what if you position is in the midsection of an outdoor court in a shopping nearby mall?

Well this is where an LCD monitor enclosure is employed, as an LCD enclosure will protect the advertising appliance from the temperature and any likely vandalism. The digital signage enclosure has enough internal room to fit the flat panel screen and the media player can either be placed on the rear of the TV or on the internal mounting frame for the monitor, providing a compact solution.

These steel LCD enclosures are robust and offer outstanding safety from vandals, with solid viewing windows and safety measures locks.
