In the past, we have had reporters at DSE, but the show is so close to ISE that we didn’t get much that was really new, so we haven’t repeated the exercise. However, we have been watching out for news and here are some items of news from the show.
Brightside and NEC announced a deal in the US under which the companies will offer special display + media player bundles with ‘deep discounts’ to the channel. The deals will be offered by Ingram Micro, Stampede, Almo and BlueStar and will be based on NEC C Series and V Series displays offered with a BrightSign Series 3 LS, HD or OPS-compatible HD media player (HO523).
Mount maker, Chief, was busy, with a number of new products. The Impact On-Wall Kiosk is a frame for display mounting and protection that can make service easier and help to fit displays to uneven walls. It is available in sizes from 46″ to 75″.

Chief also introduced new outdoor mounts that include a wind deflector for systems that have not been designed to deal with wind exposure.
Tony Caruso, Product Manager, said
“When you add large displays to outdoor columns, they can act like a sail. This new mount system definitely takes the wind out of those sails.”
There are 6′ and 8′ (1.83m/2.44m) columns with up to 30cm of adjustment. There are also specific mounts for Samsung LFDs.
“We have universal outdoor-rated mounts, but the unique mounting patterns and ventilation needs of the Samsung displays required a custom option,”
said Caruso.
The PSMO2085 fixed wall mount supports the Samsung OH55F in landscape or portrait orientation while the FHBO5085 bracket connects the OH55F to Chief’s ODMLT outdoor tilt mount. ‘
The PSMO2086 supports the Samsung OH46F in landscape or portrait orientation, while the FHBO5086 bracket connects the OH46 to Chief’s ODMLT outdoor tilt mount.
