16 questions to ask while choosing an LED screen

EKTA LED screens: professional opinion

Do you want to make a reasonable choice while buying an expensive screen, but need an expert opinion? In order to take into account all aspects be sure to ask manufacturers and suppliers the following questions.

1. What is the maximum calibrated brightness of the screen you propose?

The maximum calibrated brightness of a high quality screen for outdoor use should be at least 5,500 NIT. This index ensures good visibility even under direct sunlight. It is worth noting, that in case of a screen’s lower brightness and maximum intensity of sunlight, the image on the screen is simply not visible.

In the LED market it is easy encounter suppliers and dealers of Chinese screens who intentionally indicate a significantly higher brightness of their products. Moreover, some of them do not take into account the calibration procedure that reduces the overall brightness of the screen. EKTA is ready to confirm the characteristics of the screen brightness to their customers in the certified testing laboratory.

How about controlling an LED solution with one device?

The control systems for LED video walls has been one of EKTA`s top directions of development for the last five years. The video processors series ERMAC was first presented to a wide range of professionals at the international exhibition Integrated Systems Europe 2011. But from year to year, the number of screens involved in projects was rapidly increasing and required new management solutions. So in response to market trends, EKTA has created new generations of video processors with a wide range of possibilities.

Everything we can do in our control systems, we can do in real-time. And we have one of the biggest advantages on the market right now it calls calibration technology for LED walls. What is it all about?

EKTA at a modern AV-technology exhibition

EKTA returned from Amsterdam inspired by new ideas.

Integrated Systems Europe - one of the key events in the field of audiovisual technologies, which reflects the situation on the world market and the AV-allows to predict tendencies.

With each passing year the exhibition volumes grow. For example, this year in the twelve halls of Amsterdam RAI was presented more than 1000 new products. The event was visited by more than 500 journalists from professional editions; total attendance exceeded 50 thousand people. Exhibition organizers reported that in 2016, due to the increased number of exhibitors, the exhibition will be extended to four days, instead of the traditional three.

Trends ISE 2015

At ISE 2015 in comparison with the previous year there were less small Chinese manufacturers. In turn, China's large companies have retained their positions

The exhibition occupied all the pavilions, booths were even in places where they never existed. This means that the market is saturated with players, and, of course, the competition is quite high. With the current level of ISE, three days to gather information and get around all elementary stands was not enough. It was felt that the visitors were in a hurry; they do not have time for a peaceful dialogue and a close acquaintance with the product. That is why next year it is planned to extend the exhibition for one day.
