Mitsubishi: Latest signage technology to Screen Media Expo 2010
The
latest professional-grade LCD display in the Mitsubishi range is the L46XM.
The ultra-slim bezel LCD display is designed for either standalone operation
or as part of a multi-screen display. With its slim profile and front-access
option, the L46XM is ideal for applications such as retail where minimal
footprint is essential. Up to 25 L46XM panels can be assembled into a single
5 x 5 display wall; the L46XM features the same inboard processing and
user-selectable input cards as Mitsubishi's Seventy Series DLP cubes which
means sophisticated multi-window displays can be created with no additional
hardware. L46XM also uses the same advanced sensing system to ensure
multi-screen displays stay perfectly balanced automatically. The Mitsubishi
L46XM incorporates a unique screen management facility that allows it to be
run in 24/7 applications with no ill effects. The Mitsubishi Electric stand
at Screen Media Expo (Stand G3) will also
feature some of the company's other professional projectors and display's,
including its 52" MDT521S slim-bezel LCD monitor, which features a
built-in CAT5 receiver and a unique dual light sensor, making it ideal for
public display and digital signage applications in retail stores, airports,
leisure facilities and public spaces. More: http://vis.mitsubishielectric.co.uk 5)
NEC Display Solutions: The new M521 LCD Public Display
With the
new M521 LCD Public Display, NEC Display Solutions is now launching the
largest model in the Multeos series. The 52”
monitor with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) combines the
attractive design of a TV set with the reliability of professional digital
signage displays. It is therefore ideal for use in areas with sophisticated
interior design, such as in hotels and restaurants, reception and waiting
areas, fitness studios or conference rooms. A raft of configuration and
connectivity options ensures seamless integration of the display into any
technical environment. Options, such as the media player that enables
self-created content to be displayed, significantly extend the range of
possible uses for the M521. A restaurant, for instance, can display menus of
the day or specials before and after screening a football match. More: http://www.nec-display-solutions.com |
