High tech and low tech all in one: Delphi rolls out combo digital sign and chalkboard

April 18, 2012

Outdoor digital signage solution designer and manufacturer Delphi Display Systems Inc. announced that it has introduced its Digital Sidewalk SignBoard, a combination digital signage display and traditional chalkboard developed for indoor or sheltered outdoor use.

Delphi's Digital Sidewalk SignBoard combines the digital flexibility of a 22-inch sunlight readable LCD with a traditional chalkboard, and is aimed at deployments in sidewalk cafes, sandwich shops, coffeehouses, boutiques and clubs. It provides a possible solutions for businesses that want to entice customers with crisp, impactful digital images or videos along with messages that can be written and changed at any time, with a personal touch.

Digital images or videos are customized and updated through a standard USB thumb drive. The digital screen rotates images and/or videos to spotlight key menu items or promotions. The SignBoard also supports high-resolution video. The chalkboard can be used to present daily specials, prices, promotions or daily activities and start times — with a more human touch than simply doing the same thing via the digital screen.

The Digital Sidewalk SignBoard's LCD is protected with an all-glass front window with black glass bezel. The LCD and 24-inch black chalkboard are integrated into a foldable A-frame easel on wheels for mobility within and outside a restaurant or business.

"We believe there are a tremendous number of applications for the Digital Sidewalk SignBoard and are excited to assist our customers in implementing it to benefit their businesses," said Ken Neeld, president and CEO of Delphi Display Systems, in the announcement.
