Equipment composition of LED billboards
Technological advances have made LED billboards a popular choice for modern commercial displays. So, what device do we need for led billboard ？ Let’s find out!
LED modules
The components that enable LED billboards to display images are LED modules, which are the core devices of LED billboards. Different LED modules are used for LED billboards depending on the usage scenario. If the usage scenario is indoors, most LED billboards use indoor LED modules. If the usage scenario is outdoors, most LED billboards use outdoor LED modules.
LED billboards can also use different LED modules depending on the viewing distance. When the viewing distance is relatively close, LED billboards use LED modules with a smaller pixel pitch. When the viewing distance is relatively far, LED billboards use LED modules with a larger pixel pitch.
LED cabinet
The device used to protect the internal structure of the LED billboard is called LED cabinet. LED cabinets made of different materials can be selected according to different budgets. If the budget is sufficient, LED billboards can choose LED cabinets made of die-cast aluminum. When the budget is insufficient, LED billboards can choose cost-effective LED iron cabinets.
Control card
The control card enables the LED billboard to receive and transmit signals. The specifications of the control card are selected according to the number of LED modules to be loaded. The larger the LED billboard, the more control cards are needed.
Power supply
The function of the power supply is to continuously and stably supply power to the LED billboard. The number of power supplies is calculated according to the size of the LED billboard. For large-scale LED billboards, a sufficient number of power supplies are needed to ensure the normal operation of the LED billboard.
Cables
There are generally two types of cables for LED billboards: power cables and data cables.
The function of the power cable is to transmit electrical energy, and it is divided into a power connector and a main power cable. The power connector is used to connect two adjacent LED cabinets. The main power cable is used to connect the power supply and the LED billboard.
The function of data cables is to transmit signals, and they are divided into ribbon cables, signal connectors, and Ethernet cables. Ribbon cables are used to connect LED modules and control cards. Signal connectors are used to connect two adjacent LED cabinets. Ethernet cables are used to connect LED billboards and video processors.
Video Processors
Video processors are devices that adjust the display quality of LED billboards. They are often used in conjunction with computers. The number of video processors is determined by the number of pixels in the LED billboard. When the LED billboard exceeds 1 million pixels, video processors must be added continuously until the LED billboard image can be fully adjusted.
Computer or server
Computers or servers are devices used to control LED billboards. Computers are mainly used to control a few LED billboards that are relatively close to the computer. Servers are mainly used to control many LED billboards that are relatively far apart, such as pole LED display.
Additional equipment for LED billboards
The above devices are the main devices for LED billboards. Depending on the usage scenario and type of LED billboard, the additional devices will also vary. The following are additional devices related to LED billboards:
Air conditioner
The main function of an air conditioner is to reduce heat accumulation in LED billboards. If the indoor environment has a cooling system, then no air conditioning equipment is needed to build indoor LED billboards. When it is an outdoor environment, then air conditioning equipment is needed to build outdoor LED billboards.
Suction cup
A suction cup is a tool used to repair, dismantle, and build LED billboards. It can quickly install LED modules with a magnetic suction design on LED cabinets, and even if the installation is incorrect, it can be quickly removed and reinstalled.
Lightning rod
The main function of a lightning rod is to protect LED billboards, especially those built at high altitudes. When thunderstorms occur, lightning rods can divert the energy generated by lightning underground, reducing the adverse effects of lightning on LED billboards.
Outdoor LED floodlight
Outdoor LED floodlights are mainly used in sports stadiums to provide lighting for stadiums and LED billboards. During night games, outdoor LED floodlights illuminate the stadium so that spectators can clearly see the athletes’ movements.
AV system
AV systems can be used in conjunction with LED billboards to provide people with a consistent audio-visual experience. Depending on customer needs and display content, you can choose whether to install an AV system. If the content is dynamic or contains promotional language, an AV system should be installed.
Supporting digital media
In addition to the above devices, there are also digital media devices that support LED billboards. Let’s take a look at them!
LED control software
No matter what type of LED billboard it is, LED control software is needed to debug it. LED control software can test the display content on the LED billboard and adjust the display size so that the LED billboard can better display the content.
Video
Video is mainly used in LED billboards with dynamic content. The video content is mainly produced by the advertiser’s advertising team and transmitted to the LED billboard via a computer and video processor, enabling the LED billboard to play the corresponding video content.
3D material
3D material is mainly used in 3D LED billboards. It can be produced using special software and provides a 3D stereoscopic effect for the display advertising content of 3D LED displays, deepening people’s impression of the advertising content.
Conclusion
In summary, the device selected will differ depending on various factors, such as the usage scenario and type of LED billboard. If you would like to learn more about LED billboards, please visit the MuenLED official website.
