Presentation of Your Material in the TD3200 Display Box
Place materials to be displayed inside the display box using the access door on
one long side of the enclosure. Loosen the fasteners using a standard Philips #1
or #2 screwdriver. We have included a small screw driver with a clamp mount
that can be positioned on the back of the TD3200 for easy storage. We have also
included a magnetic lift tool with the display box that can be used to assist in
raising the steel access door after loosening the fasteners. You can store the lift
tool by attaching it to a steel plate found in the accessories bag. After removing
the adhesive liner, the plate can be attached on the backside of the display to
provide a place to store the lift tool.
You should experiment with placement of the objects to be displayed in the
TD3200 to optimize their appearance and interaction with your video content.
You will fi nd that the brightness of display box and the legibility of the screen
content can be aff ected by the color of objectives placed in the display box. For
best results we suggest avoiding large areas of dark colors inside the display box.
Most conventional digital signage video content can be used with the TD3200,
but enhancements to the content are possible to optimize the attention-
grabbing eff ect you and your customers will see in using the Planar transparent
display box. In preparing video content for the TD3200 driving the LCD to white
will produce the highest transparency while black screen features will result in
the most opacity. Intermediate colors will have intermediate transparency. Note
that slide-show presentation software, such a Microsoft Powerpoint™, can be
used to create simple but eff ective content for the TD3200.
In order to maximize the brightness of the TD3200 we have provided an
extremely high level of white light illumination inside the display box.
In addition to enhancing the appearance of objects inside the box and of the LCD
display, this intense light level can be used to drive a photovoltaic turntable to
further enhance the eye-catching performance of your Planar transparent display
box by rotating your interior content. These light-driven turntables are available
online: search using the keywords: “solar turntable”. Most of these turntables have
a limited weight capacity.
NOTE:
While there is almost no ultraviolet light emitted from the white LEDs we
employ, the white light is suffi
ciently bright to cause potential photobleaching
of materials susceptible to light-induced color fading. We recommend testing
of light fastness of materials to be displayed for an extended period
(weeks to
months)
in the display box.
