Mitsubishi’s shows big video wall solution

The familiar sight awaits visitors to Mitsubishi Electric’s stand – that of a video wall comprising four 60-inch screens. But what is different is that the new wide-format LED display wall cubes use rear projection, are designed to work 24/7 with a lifespan of around 10 years, do not have a bezel and are about half the depth of the traditional units.

The familiar sight awaits visitors to 7874 Mitsubishi Electric’s stand – that of a video wall comprising four 60-inch screens. But what is different is that the new wide-format LED display wall cubes use rear projection, are designed to work 24/7 with a lifespan of around 10 years, do not have a bezel and are about half the depth of the traditional units.

Furthermore, because the screens use LED light sources, the energy consumption and heat production are very low and maintenance is ‘virtually eliminated’. That, along with a front access arrangement, mean the screens can be mounted directly against a wall, maximising the available space in control rooms.

The screens are available in four resolutions from XGA through full HD to the ultra-high definition WUXGA (1920x1200).

According to product marketing manager Ron Schouwenburg, the screens are around twice the price of their traditional counterparts but their longevity in constant use, lack of maintenance and low energy consumption make them cost-effective in the longer term.

    David Crawford looks at the sunny side of the street. Solar power has been relatively slow in entering the transport sector, but a current blossoming of activity bodes well for the large-scale harnessing of an alternative energy that is zero-emission at source and, in practical terms, infinitely renewable. Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati

    Increasing numbers of US customers are turning to alternative fuel vehicles, according to the latest research from Mintel, which shows that sales are up 73%, with nearly 440,000 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electrics sold thus far this year. The rapid sales growth in hybrid and electric vehicles makes the segment the fastest growing in the US for 2012, supplanting the still fast growing, compact car vehicle segment. The number of plug-in and electric models available to the public has nearly quadrupled over

  • Need for simpler urban tolling solutions

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort
