RALEIGH-DURHAM, NC — A new advertising display from Clear Channel Interspace Airport is greeting travelers passing through Raleigh-Durham International Airport with imagery provided by a pair of Electrosonic ImageStar HD video processors. Integrator Graybow Communications Group of Golden Valley, Minn. found Electrosonic’s ImageStar HD multiscreen scalars and processors to be a good fit for the job.
The free-standing display, framed in stainless steel, was first used in January 2009 and runs 20 hours a day, seven days a week. It displays still images and video from Clear Channel Interspace Airport, which sells advertising in more than 200 airports nationwide.
“In digital signage today everyone is aiming for a big image in a small footprint: They want to be able to display a large visual while making the least amount of impact on the real estate in a busy terminal,” said Electrosonic sales consultant Pete Rajcula. “ImageStar HD offers an exceptional quality of magnification in a limited amount of space for a low cost. For the airport, two ImageStars have been joined together in a custom configuration to work as a videowall.”
The Raleigh-Durham International Airport installation is comprised of eight WVGA mullion-less Orion plasma screens in a two-by-four array. A pair of ImageStar HD video processors divide the PC source into eight outputs for the highest-quality imagery. Mapping is done across the two ImageStars with one handling the top half of the display and the other the bottom half.
Meeting the slim display’s need for a small footprint, the video processors are housed in a 1RU rack space each. Their solid-state construction enables them to run indefinitely in the virtually round-the-clock application.
