ROE is the rental & staging business that is owned by Unilumin and the company released a new mechanical system for high end rental and staging that eliminates the need for a separate extra frame. The system is designed to use a separate frame from the panel, so that the frame can be quickly assembled and then the LED panels added. Each cabinet has four modules (or two in a half cabinet). One advantage is that there is no need for an operator to have the same number of frames and the more expensive LED modules. One frame can be assembled, while another is being dismantled and the modules quickly swapped across.
The company can make an 8K x 1K display in a 10 m2 area using 1.5mm. Output is 1,000 cd/m2 (calbirated) while power consumption is typically 65W/panel, maximum 145W/panel with overall consumption at 455W/m2 typical, 1055″/M2 max. Weight is 4.2kg/panel for 30.5kg/m2.
The frames are designed to be used either floor-mounted or hung and at the moment can support eight cabinets in height, although the target is 16. The frames include carbon fibre verticals and are quight light. The frames are available in half heights so that they can be overlapped, ‘like bricklaying’ to give more stable performance and to avoid vertical break lines. The basic cabinet is in a 16:9 format and FullHD can be created in 4m2. A dummy panel can be used when assembling the frames to confirm alignment.
To allow repair and maintenance, the display can be front serviced, with a motor pushing out a single panel. The module remains clipped to avoid it being accidentally dropped. The modules also have reinforced corners to protect from damage.
2.5mm pitch is available as an option and, later, ROE plans to introduce 0.9mm and 2.0 mm versions. Processing is supplied by Brompton.
