Peerless-AV introduces outdoor bright display for hot temperatures

Peerless-AV, a designer and manufacturer of audio and video solutions and accessories, has introduced its 55-inch Xtrem High Bright Outdoor Display for all-weather, extreme temperature applications, including self-serve kiosks, according to a press release.

The XHB553 is now lighter in weight with significant mechanical and operating system enhancements that include thermal load diffusion, customized brightness scheduling, auto-source switching, power saving and pixel shifting, to name a few.

To address performance requirements in hotter or sunnier climates, the outdoor display is fan cooled to reduce heat build-up caused by thermal load from extended exposure to direct sunlight.

The display's operating temperature ranges from -31°F to 140°F (-35°C to 60°C) and the patented thermal exhaust system keeps internal components cooled in extreme heat. It also offers 2,500 nits of light output and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness to match time of day conditions, thus reducing light pollution in evening hours and optimizing power consumption.

The XHB553 includes a gyroscopic sensor that detects any movement of the display. The IP66 rated design protects against the ingress of water, dust, dirt, moisture and insects, and an IK10, tempered cover glass offers protection against vandalism and debris.

Additional new features include upgrades to the display's network access and control functionality, as well as key operating system extras:

• Auto-source switching allows the user to set the display to search for a secondary content signal if the main source fails, ensuring zero display downtime.
• Power scheduling allows the user to set a specific frequency time and date for the display to turn on and off automatically.
• Brightness scheduling is available via custom settings to allow the user to use predetermined modes that set the backlight level intensity according to time of day, an important feature at night where regulations dictate brightness of digital signage, especially near roadsides.
• Power save mode allows the user to set the time for the display to power down or go to sleep mode if no content signal is present; the LAN port can also be set to passive or active mode to reduce power consumption when the display is not active.
• Pixel shifting is useful if using static content to avoid image retention; horizontal or vertical shifting of an image can be set to a specific frequency.
