New LED screen from PixelFLEX offers indoor, outdoor options

July 9, 2013

PixelFLEX, providers of LED video screens, announced its new Light Rigid 8 product. The LR-8 offers an exceptionally bright and crisp picture rated for complete outdoor use, the company said. Additionally, it features a thin construction making assembly, disassembly and storage easier lending itself to either permanent or touring applications.

"Much like our LR-4, which we recently unveiled at InfoComm, the LR-8 was developed to meet the industry's demand for higher video resolution with ease of installation," said Jeremy Byrd, president and founder of PixelFLEX. "Where the LR-8 differs is in its performance in outdoor applications. While the system can be used by touring musicians on the road or in multi-use theatre environments, the LR-8 is also perfect for outdoor installations, where sharpness and clarity of picture are critical to the viewer's experience."

The LR-8 features 8mm resolution, a 140 degree vertical and horizontal viewing angle, Powercon and Ethernet connectors, and a per tile weight of approximately 17 lbs, PixelFLEX said. Plus it offers 281 trillion colors and a lifespan of 100,000 hours.

The PixelFLEX LR-8 also offers a number of connection options such as DVI, HDMI, VGA, SDI, HD-SDI, Composite, S-video or Component.

According to the company, the LR-8 is being aimed at a new customer-base that includes sports and entertainment venues.

"Whether it’s showing video replays of a tremendous catch or images of memorabilia available at the stadium’s fan store, the LR-8 is a multifunctional solution that can meet a variety of needs," Byrd said.
