Absen Launches a Series of Products at Amsterdam
Absen has unveiled a series of new products at the recently concluded ISE 2020. The new launches include Venus (VN) Series LED display and AW Series for the Digital Out-Of-Home (DooH) advertising market.
The Venus (VN) Series is an innovative LED display that has been specifically designed for concerts and festivals due to its ability to create super-sized screens at speed. The product features a highly unique integrated ‘module-on-frame’ design. By removing the sub-frame (cabinet frame), Venus is 27% lighter than competing solutions. In fact, at 27.5 kg/sqm, it is the lightest integrated touring display solution on the market, allowing creative teams to cut back on weight, save cost and build even bigger LED walls than before – up to 20 metres in height.
The VN Series has also been designed to save crews precious time. The VN Series will be available in two standard sizes: 1,500mm (W) x 1,000mm (H) and 500mm x 1,000mm, in order to allow for fully customised options. It will be available in 3.9mm, 4.8mm and 8.3mm pixel pitch versions, boasting up to 5000 nits brightness and black face LED. The VN Series also allows for concave and convex curving options for highly creative video wall designs; with horizontal free-adjustable variances of -10 to +10 degrees, allowing fixed positioning at -10°, -5°, 0°, +5° and +10°.
The VN Series has been designed with crew’s safety and convenience in mind, and the products’ ease of mounting and transportation is testament to this. All Venus LED panels are fitted with carbon fibre pipes with special anti-slip coatings to ensure the safety of climbers, with additional safety hooks so riggers can secure themselves at every step of the building process. The VN’s easy locking system with big-sized handles are simple to use even with thick gloves on, with colour-coded lock/unlock markers and vertical auto-lock for an improved user experience.
The product can be easily hung, stacked and transported, thanks to a 5-in-1 dolly system, which has been carefully calculated to allow two rows and three columns to fit in a 40HQ container, allowing for 315 sqm of LED panels per truck. Wind bracing is also available and can withstand gale force winds of up to level 8.
The AW Series is suitable for fixed installation and can also be applied to light boxes and smart light poles to cater for the growing trend of LED display and 5G technology integration, helping to usher in a new wave of intelligent applications.
The AW Series will be available in two standard sizes: 500mm x 500mm (w x h) and 500mm x 750mm (w x h) panels. With a brightness of 5,000 nits, a refresh rate of 3,840Hz and available in two pixel pitches (2.8mm and 3.9mm), the AW Series delivers outstanding image quality and ensures excellent visibility, event at short viewing distances of 3-5 metres, making it well-suited to street advertising.
The AW Series utilises an intelligent auto-light sensor control system to detect ambient light levels to automatically adjust the screen brightness for optimal performance. Its IP65/IP54 waterproof rating and weatherability design means the AW Series can withstand heavy rain, strong winds and challenging environments between -20℃ and +50℃. The product is also highly energy efficient.
Absen can provide a turnkey solution, which includes LED display, frame and controller; making it easy to install, transport and maintain. As the product can be easily fixed to light poles and in light boxes, it is ideally suited for bus shelters and other types of street furniture applications. What’s more, as 5G technology becomes more readily available, the demand for ‘Smart City’ applications is set to increase exponentially to facilitate city operations and transportation management.
The AW Series offers different options to satisfy a variety of dimensions and purposes. For fixed installation, the panel can be rotated, providing more possibility and flexibility of installation. As an outdoor series, the series supports frameless installation, saving the cost of binding materials.
The AW Series can fulfil functions like remote publishing, cluster control and safety protection to make information dissemination and advertising more convenient. Users can easily and efficiently manage the content online by releasing video and images via computer. To ensure data safety, the content is then encrypted during transmission and locked at the terminal. When users need to display the same content on individual light poles, AW supports simultaneous display management to achieve a real ‘wow’ effect. Automatic monitoring makes management intelligent with feedback and any alarms sent automatically. Redundant power is provided to guarantee reliability.
