Premier Mounts launches the Habitat for outdoor digital signage

June 4, 2014

Mounting solutions manufacturer Premier Mounts has addressed implementation challenges for outdoor digital signage with the release of its Habitat Outdoor Digital Media System enclosure, the company announced.

For outdoor digital signage used to relay information such as menus, public announcements, and venue and transportation information, the Habitat is a model-specific enclosure dedicated to LG's 47WX50MF-B, IPS edge, LED, full-HD and open-frame digital signage display, which delivers a high-brightness rating of 2,000 nits with Shine-Out technology.

The modular design enables conversion from single to double or triple display expansion using the same enclosure base. The dimensions are fixed at 61.5 inches high by 11.75 inches deep for any of the three modular designs, with width ranging from a minimum of 26.75 inches to a maximum of 80.25 inches, depending on the number of displays.

"Business owners would readily increase revenue by utilizing the benefits of outdoor menu boards and digital signage, but they face a number of challenges within the implementation and operation processes," Premier Mounts co-CEO Rich Pierro said in the announcement. "Because these challenges had not yet been resolved, stakeholders were prevented from moving forward with outdoor digital signage business integration. Premier Mounts' Habitat Outdoor Digital Media System line is the bridge connecting those who want to integrate outdoor digital signage to the solutions they've been seeking, and our new Habitat line is the solution that will provide years of hassle-free, revenue generating benefits."

The Habitat Outdoor Digital Media System design allows for future expansion using base components that are compatible across the Habitat product line, the company said.

The Habitat line also provides front and bottom access, with no back or side conduit to interfere with placement against back and sidewalls for maximum placement versatility — it can be pedestal or wall mounted.

Outdoor digital signage displays running on indefinite schedules are kept under climate control with the Habitat Enclosure high-flow air curtain, which maintains an operating environment of -20°C to +40°C without air conditioning.

Additionally, the Habitat provides theft-deterrent security key latches to keep display investments safe, and is built with galvanized treated steel for protection from external impact or collisions. The internal display features a QWP polarizer to refract sunlight so that customers wearing polarized lenses can still view the display without visual interference, and the display is protected with 6 mm of laminated, shatter-resistant and anti-reflective glass.
