Integrators should invest
time with vendor partners to
truly understand their digital
signage/videowall off erings.
Then, get your clients involved
early. Fully engage them
throughout the process.
Wargo notes that " ...costs and
specifications are a shifting landscape,
as well, with past assumptions getting
challenged every day. " In order to keep
up, integrators should visit trade shows,
he says, and interact with manufacturers
there to truly explore DVLED and
other options. McKenzie agrees, saying,
" It is key for integrators to spend time
with manufacturers to fully understand
the offering presented and to get
the client engaged early and clearly
throughout the project. "
Whitesides' best advice for integrators
is to get close to relatively
few vendors and develop a deep
understanding of them, rather than
" ...spreading too thin. " From his
perspective, there are several details
integrators must keep in mind for
digital signage/videowall installations
- namely, physical integration,
hardware, content and customer CMS
management. By forming long-lasting
relationships with several trusted
vendors, integrators can, Whitesides
believes, " ...sustain the impact [of these
systems] beyond the first few months. "
Frankenstein underscores the
importance of partnerships in creating
successful installations. He remarks,
Peerless-AV on DVLED Best Practices
When working with direct-view LED (DVLED) videowalls, it is important to take
precautions to ensure a successful and safe installation. Below, we break down
installation best practices to ensure you can make installations blunder-free.
The environment plays an important role when it comes to installing
DVLED videowalls. It's vital to thoroughly evaluate the space and consider
viewing angles; traffi c fl ow; building and room access; ceiling, wall and fl oor
construction; and other factors. In addition, taking precise and accurate
measurements ensures the DVLED videowall will fi t the designated space and
that the mount will safely support the total weight of the DVLED panels and
overall system.
No matter how prepared a team is for an installation, they are bound to run into
slight complications. Setbacks, such as construction delays, can greatly impact
project budgets and deadlines. These factors might create an environment that is
not ideal for a DVLED installation. For example, if a site is still under construction
at the time of installation, construction dust could cause signifi cant damage to
DVLED displays. This should be closely monitored throughout the entire process.
With these tips in mind, an installation team can successfully manage DVLED
videowall integrations in any environment. But, if in doubt, it's always best to
contact a team of professionals for assistance.
