Simon Lewis Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I presume you mean LED, not LCD? If I'm correct, then a quick look at XL Video shows they're using Barco, Hibino, Unitek, Sony and Mitsubishi. I also presume you have plenty of money? ;-) Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Do you mean the kind like on this trailer or as in the ones that says "This coach is not in service" or "Route 9". If you mean the former, then Simon Lewis is spot on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew C Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Not sure here, but ISTR someone posting a pic in the Techi Porn thread of a Barco trailer rigged screen. Has to be said that I can't see it now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I have a suspicion that those would be lighthouse units in the trucks. I'm not too sure if lighthouse actually mount them in the vans, or whether that'd be a seperate manufacturer. The reason I say this is because there was a simillar screen at ISE in Brussels back in Feb. IIRC that was lighthouse. The Barco unit is here..... It'll set you back in the region of £170k ex VAT. And it's only 10mm pixel pitch, which isn't really what you want for close viewing. You generally want to work on 1m viewing distance per 1mm of pixel pitch, so 10mm is good from around 7-8m viewing distance absolute minimum. So you'd be looking for 4-6mm pitch, and the inherent rise in price that goes with it. Is this thread related to the one asking about who made screens in the back of trucks. Because if it is, then look there, and you find the Barco screen there too......[edit]Yes it is! I have a sneaking suspicison that the mods should combine the two threads to save on the duplication of information.[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
