Sharp LCD Perimeter Advertising System

Sharp’s indoor perimeter advertising system, consisting of the PN-V series of thin-bezel monitors, will be on show at the Sharp stand at ISE.

The Sharp perimeter system can be quickly assembled and is also protected by safety glass, making it suitable for all indoor events. The displays can also be adapted locally to the lighting conditions of the hall, and their resolution ensures pan shots are displayed without any disruptive moiré effect.

The pre-mounted system for hall events has a been successfully used at various sports events in 2011, including the finals of the European Handball Federation (EHF) Champions League in Cologne.

Digital Mannequin

Cognition installs the first full-scale “Digital Mannequin”. The Mannequin is turning heads on Hanover Street in Edinburgh in a shop window of the new salon of beauty spa and skin clinic Zen Lifestyle.

The model, shot on a cinema-standard camera, now shows digitally across three large 42” Philips LCD screens. The wind blows through her hair as she moves slowly, showing off a light summery dress (reason enough to be noticed in Edinburgh this time of year.)

Graham Pow from Cognition says: “The client wanted to have a window display that would grab the attention of potential customers who may be unfamiliar with the Zen Lifestyle brand and the Digital Mannequin certainly does that.”
