Outdoor LED Signs and Animations
Graphics - Communication - Software
Resolution
Monochrome - You get one color LED (Amber or Red) to deliver your message. Monochrome EMCs are primarily used to
deliver text messages, and some basic logo's and graphics. This is the most popular category of electronic message centers
on the market. They are a powerful, cost effective way to get the attention of your mobile market.
Grayscale LED Sign - These are the newest and hottest electronic message centers available on the market today! The product that we represent has a 256 shade intensity spectrum that delivers the approximate resolution of a Black and White TV. These EMC's
are priced significantly less than color message centers and still are able to produce full motion graphics. Available in red or amber.
Color RGB 64k - This is cost effective full-color control system provides 64 Thousand RGB Colors for a rich display of colors.
Perfect for outdoor displays showing looping animations and digital signage advertising schedules.
Color RGB 16.7m - This high-powered control system produces an unheard of 16.7 Million RGB colors of full motion,
high resolution animated graphics. With optional live video capabilities, this show-stopper of a display is the
perfect application for large outdoor video walls, television studios, entertainment industry, and sports.
It is also used for looping playback and scheduling of outdoor advertising for corporate identity and billboard advertising.
The award-inning Hybrid Pixel design allows for easy serviceabily and hot-swappable pixel clusters.
Knife LED Technology
| We use a special technology called "Knife LED Technology" which is exclusive to our LED message centers. The knife LED directs the light of the LED out and down towards the viewer so no brightness is lost. |

The Viewing Angle of the Sign
| Most EMC signs have either 70 degree or 90 degree viewing angles. That means as people pass by, there is only a limited time to see and read the sign in that limited space. Our EMCs have 140 degree viewing angles. Double what the majority of signs seen across the country have. |
 |
More LEDs per Pixel
| Our monochrome electronic message centers have six LEDs inside every pixel (which makes up one point of light on the sign). That's 50% more than the industry average of four LEDs per pixel. That automatically makes our signs 50% brighter from the start. |

Communication Types
There are 3 main ways to communicate between a computer and your Electronic Message Center Sign.
Direct Line - Use the included converter to hook directly from the USB port in your computer to the EMC.
This option is good if the sign is located less than 300 feet from your computer. Common applications
are building mounted EMC signs, and pole mounted if there is wiring access.
Wireless RF - Use an optional Radio Frequency (RF) module. A transmitter plugs into your PCs USB port and transmits
the communication information to the EMC wirelessly. This is a true "Plug and Play" option. The only wiring the
EMC requires is power. RF communication distance is ½ mile "line of site."
Modem or Network - This is the best option if your EMC is located a long distance from your main location. You need to get
a dedicated phone line installed to your message center. You contact the sign with the modem in your PC
and upload message changes via phone line or the internet.
Programming a Message Center
Your electronic LED sign comes with easy to use computer software that allows programming a message center with your messages, animations and graphics. Once you install it on your computer you can have your first message on your EMC in a matter of minutes.
The software allows you to bring your messages on and off the sign in many dynamic and fun ways like Zoom, Rotate, Drop, Sparkle, Scroll, and more. Pre-programmed transistions make it easy to deliver a professional looking message with the click of your mouse!

Q : What is an LED?
A : It is short for "light-emitting diode". These tiny lamps contain semi-conductor chips that are used to create the color.
Q : What is a "Pixel"?
A : It is a complete dot formed by LED lamps.
Q: What are the Types of Lamps?
A: PC Board Type (Mounted on a PC Board)OR Cluster Type (Individual small groups of LEDs)
Q : What is the viewing angle?
A : We offer 140 degrees for outdoor Electronic Message Centers.
Q : What are the benefits of LEDs?
A : They are very energy efficient, long lasting, provide high resolution, better clarity, and require little maintenance.
Q : How is it energy efficient?
A :It is UL listed as low wattage. Compared to incandescent light bulbs, they can cut costs up to 95%.
Q : How long do LED lamps last?
A : They have a life span of at least 100,000 hours (Approx. 10 years) with minimal maintenance. Costs are significantly reduced by little need to constantly service the sign.
Q : How easy is it to maintain and service?
A : Our LED lamps can be replaced with ease. Using front serviceability, signs can be diagnosed and repaired with less time.
Q : How are the displays programmed?
A : We have several different types of communication that can be used, depending on your needs. This includes RF and dial-up modems. All signs can be programmed with a simple windows-based software (WinEDT) that can be used to create text and animation designs with numerous different effects.
Q : What languages can be displayed?
A : All languages can be displayed in graphic mode.
Q : What type of communication may be used when there is difficulty running a conduit?
A : Our wireless RF modems can be used to program signs without running any cables or wires.
Q : What are the applications?
A : Banks, schools, theaters, airports, car dealerships, stadiums, hospitals, supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, shopping centers, churches, or wherever you need to get the message out.
Q : How difficult is the installation?
