LIGRA's mission has a clear objective; to provide full-service solutions that meet the customer's wishes. High quality projects that Ligra follows step by step, from the initial idea to its realisation.
Today's Case History makes us fly high. The design of a LEDWall screen on the facade of the Capodichino Airport multi-storey car park.
Our challenge:
The request from GESAC (Capodichino Airport Management) was to have a high quality LED screen that could address several issues. The most critical issues were to have a screen that would perform during the day as well as at night, variable with the seasons and the weather, and easy to manage in response to municipal directives. In addition, a key focus was on energy saving, a predominant factor in a product switched on for such a high number of hours.
Location
The screen is located in what is goliardically called 'Palazzo Ferrarelle', because of the sign of the eponymous brand affixed to the top of the building. A multi-storey car park opposite Capodichino airport, with enormous visibility and potential. A strategic transit point that sees millions of people a year parade through it. A stage full of potential as well as critical issues that Ligra has been able to tackle in the best possible way.
The parties at stake:
Client: GESAC (Capodichino Airport Management);
Reseller, system integrator and installer: G5 of Naples
Screen manufacturer: HikVision
Technical and commercial support: Ligra DS - LED Displays
Design
The mechanical, electrical and remote management design of the system took long days for G5's technicians, who were always supported by our team and the HikVision team.
Solution and product selection
The choice fell on a LEDWall screen consisting of 84 modules arranged in a 12×7 configuration, each measuring 0.96mx0.96m for a total of 77.41sqm. A complete product with an overall screen resolution of 1,152×672 pixels, with a maximum achievable brightness of 6,000 cd/sqm after white adjustment.
The average energy absorption is only 217 W/sqm, for a total of about 17KW on average, which can be further reduced by the measures put in place to improve energy efficiency by varying the brightness.
These modules were designed and engineered specifically for outdoor advertising screens, consuming approximately 40% less energy than older outdoor technologies.
In addition to this, G5 came up with the idea of adding a brightness variation system that would take into account daylight, varying with the time of day and the seasons, so that the screen would always have the right level of light intensity, very high when the sun is strong, very low when the sun gives way to the moon, off when the municipal directive requires it to be switched off.
Without neglecting the case of rainy days when there is no need to consume energy to provide more light than is necessary.
Result
The result is what you see, a screen with the perfect technical specifications to perform the task entrusted to it. A bright focus with wide visibility that is efficient all year round and in any situation.
Another challenge that Ligra fulfils with professionalism and concreteness.
