Both would be able to display your digital signage content.

PeakSignage gives you the ability to launch your messaging and monitor your screens from an online dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via any modern browser.

One of the stand-out features of PeakSignage is the drag-and-drop layout editor. You simply select which element or widget you want to add to your content, then drop it where you’d like it to appear. No set zones for these elements means you have complete flexibility when it comes to designing your digital signage.

PeakSignage also allows you to group your screens, meaning you can easily align the messages on your devices. For example, if you have a window display, like the one shown below, and a few freestanding kiosks in your reception, you could group all of these and have them display your welcome messages.

This lets you provide the safety information your customers and staff will need quickly and clearly, helping to improve your on-site safety.

Although Yodeck offers a “free” version, that only includes a single screen and you are required to purchase a Yodeck Player.

ScreenCloud is designed to be used on any hardware letting you focus on your digital signage content and not finding a compatible device. If your hardware is a “smart device” and is capable of downloading apps, you can download the ScreenCloud app directly onto that device. If it isn’t able to do this, you would need a media player. For commercial use, it is suggested that you use the media player option as this will provide you with a more advanced operating system designed for commercial digital signage.

OptiSigns functions in a similar way to ScreenCloud, as it is an app that can be installed on an Amazon Fire stick to show your digital signage on any TV screen.

That"s likely why DOOH accounted for 28.3% of all OOH ads in 2019and is predicted to reach 38.3% by 2023. In fact, DOOH was the main driver of growth in OOH advertising worldwide in 2019.

So, what makes up a successful digital out-of-home ad? Keep reading to find out. We"ll cover 7 of our favorite digital OOH examples and what makes them so successful.

New York City"s Times Square is one of the most iconic and well-known spots for DOOH ads, making it an excellent choice of location for CVS"s #BeautyUnaltered digital out-of-home ads.

Within minutes of launching the campaign, users began uploading unaltered, unfiltered selfies using #BeautyUnaltered and @cvs_beauty, earning over 3.6 billion impressions. Every 10 seconds, a different consumer’s image showed on the Times Square digital signage,showing larger-than-life, unretouched images celebrating real beauty. The dynamic digital billboard was paired with a standard digital billboard featuring awareness messaging.

Overall, this DOOH example taps into a cultural shift toward celebrating unfiltered, unedited beauty and away from unrealistic beauty standards, pairing a strong campaign with a high-profile location and dynamic user-generated content.

In this interactive campaign for the new Acadia SUV, GMC used facial analytics technology and proximity-based marketing to create engaging digital signage featuring dynamic content.

Sounds a little futuristic, but cameras in the digital display used artificial intelligence were actually able to detect audience demographics, such as age and gender, then serve one of 30 possible targeted video ads to the viewer.

For example, if the anonymous audience detection facial analytics technology detected recognized a family with kids, the ad showed a video targeted at families.  Passersby went out of their way to interact with the digital signage, and as people interacted more with the kiosk, it engaged them with interactive games like Simon Says.

This campaign was one of the first of its kind and serves as an example of the potential of machine learning in digital out-of-home advertising. GMC harnessed the power of DOOH to personalize their content and use targeted messaging in a way that deepened audience engagement.

This McDonald"s campaign in the UK is another fun digital OOH example featuring dynamic content. The campaign featured two of McDonald"s frozen drinks, strawberry lemonade and the "Millionaire"s Frappe."

The campaign used weather data to advertise seasonal drinks. When the temperature rose above 22 degrees Celsius -- i.e. a temperature that was likely to make a cold drink more tempting to passersby -- the relevant campaign creative played on the digital signage.

For this digital OOH advertising example, Lasik MD"s marketing team came to Vertical Impression with a big question: Can your platform identify elevator riders who are wearing glasses, then deliver different ad creative to them to promote our services?

Our team adapted out-of-home ad tech to target laser eye surgery candidates. The technology recognized whether or not an elevator rider was wearing glasses and updated the creative accordingly. The ad"s dynamic messaging changed based on the type of eyewear the rider was wearing at the time.

These digital out-of-home advertisements delivered 11 million targeted impressions to people who wore glasses, increasing engagement by 17% among targeted glasses-wearing elevator riders. The ad tech also recognized age and gender, allowing Lasik MD"s marketing team to segment their results further. (Learn more about LASIK MD"s DOOH elevator campaign in our case study.)

Google"s "Make the Most of Summer" campaign included responsive, data-driven digital OOH advertising centred around the experience of summer in the UK. The campaign highlights Google"s Search and Maps functionalities by showing popular local and seasonal search terms, like "Best ice cream in Glasgow" or "Parks near me."

What makes these responsive digital ads such a strong example of DOOH advertising? “There’s something unique about the British interest in the weather and the way we react to summer," Graham Bednash, Director of Consumer Marketing at Google UK, explains. "We love the way this campaign really captures that and shows how Google Search and Maps can help people make the most of it.”

The Ad Council invited people across the US to share messages of gratitude on social media with the hashtag #OutThereForUs, then showed those messages on the digital OOH ads, all of which were strategically placed along routes to hospitals, outside grocery stores in major cities, and on highway road signs.

In September 2019, the Dallas Cowboys launched their interactive "Pose with the Pros" kiosks in concourses at AT&T stadium. An engaging digital out-of-home advertising example, these interactive screens invited fans to take pictures of themselves with (virtual) members of the Dallas Cowboys.

The interactive experience is powered by AT&T, showing off its 5G technology. When speaking about this campaign, the CMO of AT&T Business explained  "We were able to create experiences that let people know how fundamentally different 5G is from LTE".

Our work with Lasik MD is just one example of the type of data-driven, dynamic out-of-home advertising experience available to today"s brands through our platform. At Vertical Impression, we’re no strangers to the media planning and media buying process. In fact, it’s something we’re rather keen on.

Our platform is based around digital out-of-home advertising, and we"re passionate about how powerful this channel can be. These are just a few of our favorite examples of truly impressive DOOH ads — and we can"t wait to see how the medium evolves alongside new technology and opportunities for audience engagement. ‍

Digital spectaculars are a form of out of home advertising, like a massive digital billboard. Composed of digital video screens, digital spectaculars incorporate custom lighting and audio, and can even offer social media integrations. One of the most eye-catching advertisements you can design, digital spectaculars are made to be seen by a wide audience in a crowded location.

Their large format allows for creative and fun design concepts. Because each digital spectacular is unique and extremely high-visibility, they usually require a high-tech design team to create and execute.

Synonymous with high-traffic areas like Las Vegas, or the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, digital spectaculars are placed in the most desirable consumer locations in the world. Because of their prime location and complex designs, digital spectaculars are typically costlier than other forms of outdoor advertising. The average digital spectacular advertisement will span many more square feet than a typical billboard, making it even more visually arresting, but also more expensive. Work with a reputable advertising agency to find the right space and design for your marketing campaign.

These digital displays require high visibility downtown areas. Because the display is more involved than a typical billboard, digital spectaculars are situated in major commercial areas with suitable space and capacity.

Digital spectaculars are good for brands hoping to take their advertising to the next level. When you take advantage of this dramatic form of outdoor advertising, you can be sure that customers will see your ad from far away and long into the night. The LED video screens allow for interactive and animated content that will be engaging and cutting-edge. Take advantage of this high-tech form of signage if you want to ensure your brand message is seen by hundreds of thousands of shoppers.

Because digital spectaculars utilize long-lasting LED displays, your ad can run for as long as you want it to, with little to no wear and tear. But keep in mind that the space is often competitive, and the design time may be more complex than it is with other forms of out of home advertising.

When it comes to commanding maximum attention, digital spectaculars can’t be beat. The name says it all: these displays are indeed spectacular and will associate your brand with the top brands out there. Because they are placed in high-traffic commercial areas, they target people who are ready and willing to make a purchase. These are high-impact designs for brands that want to do something innovative and exciting with their next marketing campaign. If you’re looking for a high-profile design opportunity, consider using a digital spectacular.

Walking down the road on a sweet, breezy morning, you are thinking about what to pick up for breakfast. You are early, and most shops haven’t had a good morning yet! Suddenly, you come to a halt seeing a giant digital billboard saying, Looking for some beans on toast or a fresh brew at 7 am? Give us a call, and we will have it at your doorstep in 10 minutes!

Bemused, you connect with the advertisement and have a hearty meal delivered in 10 mins (for real)! Congratulations, you just ended up purchasing after watching a digital-out-of-home advertisement!

Digital Out-Of-Home (DOOH) advertising involves e-displaying dynamic promotional media such as videos, animations, and brand advertisements. Simply put, DOOH refers to any digitized advertising display that can be seen on the streets or at places of public gathering, such as stadiums and malls.

A DOOH software enables advertisers to remotely control what content shows up on the screens at what time, tailor it according to the location, current weather, people frequenting it, and so much more!

Offline advertising still stands strong; especially the outdoor marketing models. With continuous breakthroughs in interactive and programmatic technology, digital-out-of-home advertising has snowballed. Here are some of the most popular types of DOOH that work the best!

The most prominent and probably the best example of DOOH advertising are the digital billboard signs that showcase your brand ads everywhere- from the packed-up freeways to motel rooftops. Studies indicate that 81% of users engage with brands whose billboards they come across.

Digital billboards have already stepped into the future. 3D digital billboard technology will make these large-scale outdoor advertising content pop out of the screens and almost reach out and touch the viewers at arm’s length. Since this form of experiential marketing evokes a sensational ‘wow’ in the viewers’ minds, many predict that 3D digital billboards will soon rule the advertising world.

In December 2021, Cartier developed a spectacular 3D digital out-of-home visualizer at the Hing Wai building in central Hong Kong. The advertisement opened with a giant red Cartier box on the screen, unboxing into a smaller one reading, Love is all with jingle balls popping all around, indicating it’s time for holiday season shopping! Well, this surely does have my heart!

Some of the most engaging and futuristic ad campaigns have been experimented on bus stop DOOH displays. The reason? People are mostly unoccupied, and there is a high possibility that they would like to engage with ad campaigns to kill the boring wait time.

People waiting at the New Oxford Street bus shelter experienced a perfect handshake between the fictional world and real world through the transparent screens installed with Augmented Reality technology.

Next to billboards and car-top signs, digital out-of-home installations on the street’s sidewalks receive the highest impressions. Whether you are out jogging or rushing to catch the 9 am bus, you can always spare a quick glance at a bright HD digital poster with an amusing ad copy.

In fact, footpath DOOHs have the fastest outreach per thousand (yeah, more than your Instagram post) and involve the lowest digital outdoor advertising cost - thanks to their easy mobility!

Snacking brand, Emily Crisps came up with a brilliant digital out-of-home campaign idea amidst the strictest lockdown in the UK back in April 2020. The brand, launched in December 2019, had decided on the perfect summer rollout until Covid played its card!

The digital footpath ads read “Our first ever poster, seen by a runner and one pigeon. Typical” and “Hmm… Maybe we should have made a TV ad instead”, alongside colorful images of their unique sweet potato veg sticks and the message “Eat Bold.”

Your promos are no longer limited to the passengers sitting inside an Uber; you can reach out to the broadest range of viewers since these digital screens are installed on top of vehicles! Car-top DOOH signs are instrumental as they can blend technology like geo-targeting to display ads according to the time of the day and the live location of the car.

In April 2020, Uber unveiled the installation of digital screens atop their vehicles that could allow drivers to earn additional revenue by running ads on two-sided, internet-connected digital billboards.

In a statement released alongside this announcement, Uber stated that these displays were powered by technology that could show ads according to nearby places, tailoring according to the location the car is currently at, becoming the first of its kind to introduce mobile digital-out-of-home ads.

In 2021, Lasik MD’s digital out-of-home advertisement series on Target’s hydraulic elevators across the US. These programmatic ads incorporated technology to identify if someone in the elevator was a candidate for Lasik surgery.

A common sight in the USA, gas station digital advertisement boards are entirely eye-catchers. Waiting to fill up your vehicle at the pump, you glance around and see a new book store is up in the neighborhood.

You were not expecting to come across this ad, but now you want to checkout the place - exactly what gas station screens have as an objective! Attract inadvertently and make them engage willingly!

Gas station ads across the US are perhaps the best example of dynamic DOOH. Be it a Pepsi can pop up on a kiosk beside the gas nozzle or a giant digital screen showing Burger King Ads, America has truly made effective use of digital out-of-home technology!

Digital Out Of Home marketing has been a worldwide rage for quite some time, given its higher control of content distribution and visual appeal! Let’s discuss a few of the top benefits of DOOH advertising.

Real-time updates: With the world at everyone’s fingertips, billboards need to update in moments! Imagine a monsoon sale advert showing up at the end of the autumn! Certainly not desirable! Is it summer? How about a fickle 20% discount on all your DOOH screens in minutes (nope, not deploying people to take days and change that creaky billboard)?

More extensive outreach: Perhaps, I have been saying it throughout the blog. Digital outdoor signs can grab many eyeballs and get them to Google up your business or drop in at your store more than any traditional advertisement would.

Higher interaction: The tech boom did invoke a growing interest in interactive solutions, making DOOH ads a participatory event rather than a monotonous one-way communication. Interactive gamified ad campaigns with rewards exhilarate the target audience and gain higher brand recall.

Analytics: One of the critical benefits of digital out-of-home displays over traditional ones is that these generate viewership analytics, similar to online ads, proving extremely handy to marketers and network operators. It offers data such as proof-of-play, number of impressions, or any data which allows the brand to understand consumer psychology and plan their future campaigns with data-backed insights.

Digital out-of-home advertising has made life easier for consumers and businesses alike. Delivery of personalized digital ads in a world of traditional offline billboards was never possible earlier. But, with e-signage becoming increasingly relevant, what might have sounded like a distant daydream has turned into a living reality! Technology is empowering the advertising world, and it’s time to say hello to a life we could only imagine in Sci-Fi books!

From a Calico cat appearing right in the middle of Tokyo to the Resident Evil in New York, these anamorphic billboards have made everything we only see on flat screens come to life! So, what empowers this technology, and who has made the most of it?! Let’s find out!

3D digital billboards use 3D technology on conventional signage players with precise calculations & creativity. 3D technology produces a hyper-realistic larger-than-life three-dimensional visual of anything, from a movie trailer to an iPhone ad.

Well-executed 3D footages highlight a perspective that lives on in the viewers’ minds long after they have come across the signage. Such large outdoor advertising displays help bring the brand’s person to life. With a visual so close to reality, your potential audience will be more willing to Google up and learn about your business!

Brands worldwide have embraced 3D digital displays, and more so because of the perspective and depth added to their range of marketing & promotion channels, turning advertisements into art.

3D billboard technology works on the principle of “forced perspective.” Forced perspective is a technique that uses an object’s scale and the spectator’s vantage point to create an illusion of the thing appearing larger, smaller, nearer, or distant from the viewer.

High-tech billboards such as these provide a peerless visual experience with everything appearing more realistic than they are (I bet you could feel the water from the Wave right onto your face at K-pop Square in South Korea).

3D digital billboards are way more sustainable than conventional billboards and impact sales by 107% compared to only 54% for static advertising boards. In terms of story-telling, the 3D advertising system is much more engaging since it effectively engages all senses of the audience and gets the message across much faster.

By now, one thing is for sure - 3D displays are more than what meets the eye! And here, we have put down some of the most excellent advertisements created using the technology!

In November 2021, London’s dynamic hotspot saw Amazon Prime launch a fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, with a remarkable 3D illusion featuring the show’s prima donna, Rosamund Pike. The digital billboard shows a battle between Rosamund’s character, representing The Light with the commander of The Dark army, doubling up as a promo for the show.

To add to it, similar 3D billboards were displayed at New York’s Big Kahuna at Times Square and Tokyo’s Cross Shinjuku Vision alongside Piccadilly, requiring Pike to deliver separate performances for each location to create a diverse angular impact on the audience.

Although consumption patterns and market trends trigger advertising, 3D billboard ads have more longevity than traditional ones. It helps the user tap into an exciting new world while driving down a freeway or simply walking through the city’s heartland. 3D displays have become a rage, especially since the onset of the pandemic, because people did look for things to get them attracted amid the gloomy days. But now, with more and more brands jumping to disrupt marketing & advertising, it seems like 3D digital billboards are here to stay.

After four years of planning the former Rubicon Casino is now a ‘premier landmark venue for Wolverhampton city centre’.

Digital signage attracts 400% more views than static signs. In July 2021, a 3D digital billboard caught so much attention it made international news. A 4K digital display in Tokyo showcased a giant, realistic-looking cat looming over the Shinjuku district.

Videos of the billboard went viral. The animation was so popular, Cross Space began live-streaming it full-time. Cross Space is one of two companies that teamed up to create unique digital signage.

You may not need millions of international viewers. Yet, even for companies with narrower goals, digital signage solves problems. It can enhance a customer’s experience when shopping, traveling, or even seeking medical care.

You can only display one message per banner. You accumulate costs the more banners you print. And if you have one prime location, you can only put one message there, rather than display an array of messages throughout an hour.

Moreover, static signs can’t incorporate sound or movement. Digital signage solutions break free from these limits. These solutions empower precisely, targeted messaging with a wide range of tools. Can they work for you?

Contemporary digital signage evolved from digital display marketing. Display marketing, or digital display advertising, is an umbrella term for advertisements on websites and apps.

Digital signage solutions take digital display marketing from the small screen to a big one. It takes unique graphics and content and serves them directly to a single digital billboard. Or, it sends the information to multiple, interconnected digital displays.

Digital signage solutions have grown beyond their origins. These solutions can be ads, but they don’t have to be. Digital signage can inform or entertain as well as advertising.

Some manufacturers use digital signage to communicate with employees on the floor. Hospital administrators use digital signage to relay messages to specific buildings on the campus.

And music festivals have used these solutions to display social media walls. These walls replay highlights and capture audience reactions. They’re updated with every set–and, sometimes, with every song.

Every part of a digital signage solution plays a critical role when you deliver a message. No component is one-size-fits-all. Instead, you have options to choose either one or two.

Digital signage displays are much larger than typical screens. Most of these displays are, at minimum, forty-eight inches. That’s four feet across, diagonally.

Though there is various form factor display to showcase digital signage content, for example, traditional LED, projector, and LCD screens, from the display technology evolution, the LCD screens have been playing a vital part for the digital signage solutions.

Digital signage displays might be LED screens, LCD screens, or projections. LED displays are flat panels of light-emitting diodes. Designers arrange these small lights in a matrix.

The matrix of light acts like an array of pixels on a desktop screen. You can see LED screens clearly outdoors, even in direct sunlight. Light diodes are bright enough that the sun’s glare doesn’t affect the image.

LCD screens are liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystals are unique substances that have some traits of solid crystal compounds, and other properties of liquids.

The molecules in a liquid crystal are arranged in a crystalline structure. The fluid properties of the crystals refract light. LCD screens use a backlight to display images.

Today, there are very few digital signage displays that are solely LED. Due to the scientific fact that LED screens are more power-efficient to produce light, they are usually used for outdoor large format displays over 100 inches. But, LED screens are way too expensive and unaffordable for most businesses.

LED screens and LCD screens both have advantages and drawbacks. Fortunately, LED may be used in combination with LCD technology. LED matrices sometimes provide backlighting for LCD screens. These combination screens are typically just called “LCD.” In retailing or semi-outdoor environments, LCD screens are the most common options.

Digital signage is often installed in the semi-outdoor environment, such as retail stores, restaurants, or public areas. And sometimes, this type of display needs to be able to playback content for an extended or non-stop period. The reliability of the commercial display is the most crucial factor known for its 24/7 operation, high brightness, portrait and landscape mode, etc.

Some commercial-grade displays are also all-in-one solutions. This means that they’re screens that also encompass computing powering with a System-on-Chip (SoC) technology, to run apps, streaming video, etc, there is also an operating system (OS) that enables a computer’s key processes. It empowers functions like scheduling tasks, executing instructions on apps, and managing the machine’s memory.

Different all-in-one displays will have different operating systems. Some OS is open-source, while others are proprietary. When you buy a digital signage system with a proprietary OS, you get built-in apps with useable interfaces.

Proprietary OS might prevent you from using third-party software. If you want to use third-party apps to display your imagery, you’ll need an open-source OS. Linux, Windows, and Android are all open-source operating systems.

Non-SoC displays can also be a good choice. These displays still offer USB video playback. They have basic functions like scheduling and multi-media players.

These displays don’t have as much computing power. Fortunately, that’s reflected in the cost. Non-SoC commercial-grade displays are cost-effective solutions.

To use a non-SoC display, create graphics on a different device. Save them to a USB, an external media player, or a laptop. Connect that hardware to the display with a cable. Then, stream your slides or videos. This is the most popular budget solution.

Currently, manufacturers sell most Smart TVs to consumers, not businesses. Yet, they’re adopted for digital signage solutions because of the friendly price.

When it comes to digital signage solutions, Smart TV displays have a lot to offer. They already have the infrastructure and operating system to receive localized broadcasts. They can also display information from apps.

Smart TVs are user-friendly. They’re also relatively cost-effective compared to other options. Unfortunately, Smart TVs are not a good signage solution outside. The screens are not bright enough to be clearly visible in sunlight.

Make the information’s route to the Smart TV as direct as possible. Smart TV displays work best over short distances. Moreover, most Smart TVs are not weatherized and unable to operate for a long time due to image retention issues.

In 2016-2017, restaurants introduced touch screen menus. Diners could place orders directly from a digital menu, without saying a word. The new option created headline-making controversy.

Despite warnings that touch screen ordering would “change how we eat forever,” many of us warmed to the technology. Now, interactive displays give many signage options to businesses.

Developers wire touch screen displays to respond by touch. Previously, these displays were only available to companies who could afford to develop custom interfaces and program interactive creatives.

SoC technology makes touch screen displays more accessible. HTML5 framework–the same code that empowers clickable mobile apps–connects with displays that include built-in media players.

But, innovations have improved the brightness of outdoor touch screen displays. Some bright touch screen displays combine LCD and LED display technology.

Many touchscreen display options encompass a media player. Others enable you to design a custom digital signage system with the media player you prefer.

Digital signage players typically transmit content to multiple recipient displays. Screens in a hospital campus, conference center, and airport use this setup.

Digital signage media players often have low bandwidth requirements. So, these players can receive content using Wi-Fi, multicast routing, or local networks. But, they cannot send content wirelessly.

Media players’ storage capacity varies. Low-end players can store 8GB of content. The highest-end players can store up to 2TB of content. You may choose to store content online instead. If you store signage content online, that’s cloud storage.

The high-end tier media players cost $400 or more. They offer the highest resolution (up to 6K HD), highest processes power, most transmission cables, and largest storage capacity.

Digital signage solutions send, receive, and alter the content. To manage the content, you’ll need a content management system. This software enables broad-scale content displays.

The best CMS software lets you create and schedule content using familiar tools. It will also be compatible with your preferred displays. You should be able to orient and resize content readily based on the screen. Good CMS software enables easy scheduling.

Cloud-based CMS software works for most people. A cloud-based digital signage software requires much less processing power and storage capacity on your end. Vendor services host cloud-based software. These vendors provide data security. They periodically upgrade the software to improve its function.

To access a cloud-based digital signage system (and the correlated CMS software), you’ll need to pay a monthly subscription fee. Fortunately, many CMS software companies offer flexible pricing models and free trials.

Security, useability, flexibility, and control are make-or-break qualities in CMS software. Research and prioritize before you choose software for your digital signage system.

Digital signage can broadcast and update information across an entire campus–or in many international locations. Digital display boards can replay fun, memorable moments to cultivate a good vibe.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the number of devices connected to the Internet collecting and sharing data. It’s continually being built. Every time an engineer builds connectivity into an object, that object becomes part of the IoT. Digital signage systems can become part of the IoT. This is particularly true if you store the signs’ content online. Likewise, cloud-based CMS software enables even more network connections.

An external smart display module can gather data from the environment. Then, CMS systems could use that data and adapt content accordingly. So, each digital sign’s content would be optimal for its location, its immediate audience, and even the time of day.

You can combine digital signage with radio-frequency identification technology (RFID). RFID tags are basically “smart labels” on products. Digital signs can act as label readers, or they can alert customers to the tags. Customers can read the RFID tags to learn about the product.

The IoT can bridge digital signage and alarm systems. Alarm systems can alert people of dangers, like overcapacity, accidents, theft, or high-risk weather conditions.

To solve signage problems, you’ll need to form a cohesive system. Your complete digital signage solution demands both software and hardware, and you don’t want to manage your content to be the hard part.

With AG Neovo, you can get everything you need at one stop. Our signage solutions completely integrate display hardware with the cloud-based digital signage software, and work flexibly, in real-time. Moreover, we design and customize every signage solution to scale.

Although there are some similarities between screens that are used indoors and outside, as they’re both equipped to display messaging on a vast scale, there are other key distinctions when it comes to LED technology including the brightness levels, as well as pixel density and the cost.

Typical digital signage jobs in retail, dining and workplaces need only modest brightness to counteract ambient lighting. A standalone indoor signage display will normally do just fine with a brightness rating of 350-500 nits.

A digital signage display used in street-facing business windows, like storefronts, or outside on sidewalks and public plazas, may have eight to 12 times that brightness level. For example, Samsung manufactures outdoor screens for drive-thru restaurant menu displays that push 4,000 nits.

That may seem extreme, but a screen hit at the right angle by midafternoon direct sunlight will be washed out and unviewable if the brightness isn’t high enough. Glare wins that battle against lesser displays.

Another wrinkle to factor in: On sunny days, many people wear sunglasses. Without polarizing signage technology designed for sunny environments, the use of sunglasses can cause the screen to appear black to the viewer.

Two key things happen when the sun beats down incessantly on outdoor screens — whether they’re used in the merciless heat of Phoenix, Arizona or the mild summer streets of Fairbanks, Alaska.

First, the array of hundreds or thousands of tiny LED lights that illuminate the outdoor digital displays generate a lot of heat, particularly at the peak of sunny days. Well-engineered outdoor displays use light sensors to dynamically adjust the brightness based on lighting conditions. That not only ensures that visuals can be easily seen, but also controls energy consumption and costs and, ultimately, increases the lifetime of the display. The brightness, and energy draw, can go way down when the sun dips below the horizon.

That direct sunlight piles on the display-generated heat, creating what’s referred to as thermal load. A screen already warm from the illuminating LEDs can get super heated by the sun’s rays.

Early versions of outdoor-rated digital signage displays had to build in supplemental heating or air conditioning units just to ensure reliable operations, whether in high heat or numbing cold. Now, well-engineered displays use self-cooling systems (including heat exchangers) to handle climates that can vary from minus 22 F to 122 F.

Arguably the biggest operating risk to indoor displays is someone pulling the power plug for a screen, perhaps the cleaners who need to run a vacuum. Designing and engineering outdoor-rated displays presents many more risks and challenges than a clean, climate controlled shop or office.

Along with heat and cold, true all-weather displays have to withstand rain, snow, dust and the general grime of cities. The enclosures need to be fully sealed to prevent the elements finding their way inside and damaging sensitive electronic components. Ideally, a display like the P8 Outdoor LED Signage should be IP66 rated.

Weather is not the only enemy for screens in public places. They will not survive the outdoors if they’re not equipped with advanced antivandalism protection. Some people have bad days, or bad attitudes, and take their frustrations out on what’s noticeable and handy — like screens on streets delivering public information, navigation, directories and advertising. Accidental bumps can happen as well, whether it’s a bike or scooter that falls over into the display.

As you’ve now learned, sourcing the right outdoor display technology is critical for reliable, effective operations. But there also need to be solid business arguments for using outdoor display technology.

For out-of-home media advertising applications, the argument is obvious: Digital posters on standalone totems or attached to transit shelters reach consumers when they’re out in public in buying mode. Unlike TV or mobile, consumers can’t change a channel or click past an outdoor ad.

Retailers and brands use outdoor and window displays such as the OMN Series 55-inch to reach consumers as they circulate in their immediate area, drawing them inside with vivid, attention-demanding promotions and special offers.

Outdoor directories and mapping applications — long used at information stations inside building complexes and shopping malls — are coming outside. They’re used for everything from navigation for theme parks and attractions to smart cities applications.

Among the heaviest adopters of outdoor display technology is the quick service restaurant (QSR) industry. Many QSR operators make a significant portion of their sales through their drive-thru lanes, so screens that “presell” motorists on special offers and high margin items are powerful tools. They also use digital menu screens at the ordering position of the lanes.

Businesses also have access to an all-in-one content management system (CMS) like MagicINFO, which makes it that much easier to create content and play ads on digital displays, and change them according to the time of day or year.

Solutions providers still have to regularly explain to new clients why using consumer TVs for commercial projects is a bad idea. The truth is that TVs are not engineered for the “always on” demands of screens used for digital signage jobs.

Most people are familiar with billboard advertising, regardless of where they live or travel. Billboards are placed next to high-traffic highways as well as along less-traveled roads in non-urban areas. Drivers see them almost anywhere because they are an efficient and cost-effective means of communicating information that is geographically important – the location of the closest chain fast food restaurant on the route, the nearest motel, or campgrounds at the next exit.

Ads on the sides of busses are the most common form of transit outdoor advertising, but outdoor advertising is common in subway stations and within subway cars, in taxis, along airport walkways, and wrapped around vehicles – one of the newer trends.

Advertising seems to follow consumers wherever they go – in supermarket shopping carts, in sports arenas, and in health clubs. They can be high-tech – think digital – or low tech – mini-posters offering dog-walking services pinned to a coffee shop bulletin board.

Also known as digital signage, digital outdoor advertising is a specific type that uses electronic technology to change what’s displayed on a screen. Digital billboards feature messages from a handful of advertisers that rotate every six to eight seconds. Other digital signs might be free-standing on an urban sidewalk or courtside at a college basketball game.

The most important outdoor ad for any small brick and mortar business is its built-in outdoor advertising: exterior signage. Business owners want crisp, clear signage that communicates well from a distance. While it should convey the company’s brand image, it should also help the business get discovered and found.

Outdoor advertising is any kind of advertisement that is displayed outside, usually in public areas such as roadside billboards, bus stops, train stations, and other public spaces. It can also include banners and signs hung in public areas, such as on buildings, parks, and beaches.

The most effective outdoor advertising depends on the goals of the advertiser. Options include billboards, transit ads, street furniture, and vehicle wraps. Each type has its own advantages and drawbacks, so it’s important to consider the target audience, budget, and geographic area when selecting the best option.

Outdoor advertising, also known as out-of-home advertising, is advertising that reaches the consumer while they are outside of their home. Examples of outdoor advertising include billboards, bus shelters, kiosks, and transit advertising.
