there is no better way to pro- vide hand-sanitiser equipment in high traffic areas, than to use a ‘contactless’ self-dispensing kiosk. Presenting messages using Digital Signage screens will also encourage employees and customers to follow so- cial distancing rules and other guidelines as well as offering the additional benefit of pre- senting key sales and market- ing campaign messages on a daily basis.

Detection


Perhaps the ultimate in Covid security is to detect infection comes with solutions designed to detect infected individuals before


they enter premises.


Facial recognition is effective for detecting those individuals authorised to enter premises where a database of permitted individuals is available, but for less controlled environments other means must be employed. Glory Star is helping businesses


and organizations reopen safely during the COVID-19 pandem- ic with its popular self-service solution, the patent-pending TAURI Temperature Check Tab- let. Designed to screen people noninvasively when entering healthcare, manufacturing or government facilities, hotels, restaurants, conference cen- tres, retail stores, schools, and gyms, TAURI is a touch-free, highly accurate, quick, and private temperature check and messaging system in one tab- let.


For those looking for a tem- perature sensing solution inte-


grated with the signage solu- tion, BrightSign has announced that EonDigital has incorporat- ed the BrightSign HD1024 media player in its new tem- perature screening product, Ex- oMetrics Wrist. This innovative new solution quickly achieves highly accurate temperature measurements by taking hun- dreds of temperature readings in just a matter of seconds. This hands-free solution all but eliminates false positive read- ings and enables businesses to safely screen patrons with min- imal disruption. “EonDigital’s unique ap- proach to touch-free tempera- ture screening is precisely the sort of forward thinking we need to squarely address the challenges associated with safe business operation during this pandemic,” said BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings. “It’s grat- ifying to see the many ways companies like EonDigital are adapting BrightSign’s technol- ogy to bring their innovative solutions to market.” Temperature checks have be- come an essential part of busi- nesses re-opening in the wake of COVID-19. Common tem- perature-screening methods ei- ther rely on hand-held devices that pose a viral transmission risk, or hands-free solutions that work effectively only when used properly by the patron or customer.


The state-of-the-art indoor LED column Indoor LED Seamlessly Connects with the Channel


The indoor LED market is evolving at a rapid pace. LED is now more readily available via the channel, and distribution is better equipped to meet requirements for shorter lead times.


There are a number of positive change underway in the mar- ket for the increasingly popular LES display technology. First, here’s a movement towards standardisation on 16:9 aspect ratios and cabinet sizes of 27.5 inch. This, combined with the


increasing but the real game changer will be when LED brands release 0.3 – 0.5mm pixel pitch meeting the realms of LCD displays. This will open the doors to standalone FHD/ UHD 55” and above LED dis- plays, offering higher bright-


issues. Since LEDs are manu- factured in batches, they need to be tested for colour unifor- mity.


It would be a disaster to mix batches to build a 5x5 LED video wall, for example, and find the LED cabinets fail to calibrate during final finish.


that are enabling distributors to follow the LCD video wall selling strategy and implement the same for LED – seamless- ly connecting LED display and associated mount in the chan- nel. One-to-one dvLED mount- ing systems are now readily available, stocked in channel, allowing freedom of design for small to medium LED video walls, with a reduced delivery lead time. The one-to-one solu- tion is perfect for boardroom, lobby and in-store retail envi- ronments that require smaller, more standard size Full HD vid- eo walls using 2 mm and below pixel pitch LED displays. The


Where there are installations that require LED video walls built to Full or Ultra HD resolu- tion, or even for a very specific configuration, there are alter- native mounting systems avail- able on the market that come in kits with pre-assembled parts for a quick and straightfor- ward installation. These kitted solutions are perfect for larger, high impact video walls in al- most any application scenario in corporate, education, hos- pitality, retail, transportation, and more, where adjustment flexibility is required to achieve perfect pixel alignment on an imperfect, irregular or creative-

fact that the cost of LED is no longer the huge hurdle it once was, and that it’s regarded as less of a custom technology, means LED is now accessible to end users in any sector - wheth- er for a corporate boardroom, a hotel reception, a retail store, casino lobby, or train station. OEM investment into ul- tra-narrow pixel pitch LED, under 1 mm for example, is


ness, better contrast, and lon- ger lifespans, to name a few. A major trend we’re noticing is that LED is starting to become more familiar to how traditional LCD displays have been man- aged over the years, in terms of how the products are specified, stocked and distributed. In the past, LED cabinets were rarely stocked in distri- bution because of batching


Batching is still a concern to- day, however, it is becoming more manageable at OEM and distribution level. Forecasting is simplified now since demand for Full HD, Ultra HD or specif- ic configurations has increased. From a mounting perspec- tive, the game is changing. The change in stocking for LED is being

play. For example, a situation where the video wall load needs to be taken by the floor or ceil- ing rather than the wall, or a trolley, pivot or track system is required for manoeuvrability. These bespoke mount solutions are generally for extra-large or smaller more complex installs, enabling flexibility for wrapping LED around corners, curves and creating angles, where su- perior precision and tolerances are required. The complexity of the install could also involve integration of speakers, sensors or cameras within the video wall and perhaps would need to withstand high vibration or seismic activity. Peerless-AV is leading the way with its dvLED mount- ing systems for all the above installation scenarios.
