• Types of Video Options available
  • LED Walls
    • LED (light emitting diode) walls are very modular and can be built to almost any dimension you may need.  
      • LED Walls have some specific attributes and terms:
        • nits 
        • dot pitch 
        • brightness
        • resolution
    • LED Walls are normally meant for outdoor usage due to their ability to be seen in direct sunlight. 
  • Projection Screens
    • Projection screens and projectors have come a long way in terms of being able to be used outdoors, and in very small areas.  
      • Projectors have some specific attributes and terms:
        • lumens
    • You would normally prefer to use a projection screen when the budget can’t call for an LED wall, and/or it’s not too bright for the content to be washed out.

  • Power needs – how to best tie in, how much power do a few examples of LED walls draw
  • How to deal with syncing audio / video so there isn’t any delay
