PopVision features Lighthouse's proprietary technology, enabling "a high-resolution screen with better quality images at an affordable price". Designed for aesthetic integration, PopVision - with brightness level up to 3000 nits - Is intended for use in any digital signage network (new or existing) where LCD, Plasma and projection systems are not appropriate. PopVision can also be used in outdoor applications and be seen in direct sunlight with the proper weatherproof housing.
The 6mm screen is contained in a 5ft x 2ft mobile case with a wireless remote and hydraulic system that enables the display to 'pop up' for fast, simple set-up. The case's hydraulic 'Power lift' mechanism works off dual-voltage input with 100VAC and 240VAC.
The first in a new series of LED products, the PopVision is based on the technology behind Lighthouse's M6 self-contained, fixed-installation display, which can be networked for digital signage applications. Last year, a network of 80 M6 screens was installed atop New York City subway entrances, displaying video advertisements that can be transmitted and controlled remotely. Lighthouse plans to extend this family of products to address other rental and staging and mobile digital signage applications.
The PopVision screens are available in 56-inch and 80-inch diagonal screen formats and are ready for immediate shipment. Other PopVision features include:140° horizontal viewing angle; 4.4 trillion colour capability; 50/60-frame-per-second frame rate; Display input for RGB HV, SDI, RGB, YUV, YC, Composite, PAL/NTSC, VGA overlay (HDTV and HDSDI optional).
