Regional Airport Draws Attention and Ad Revenues with Daisy-Chained ViewSonic Direct View LED Displays

SOLUTION BRIEF

Regional Airport Draws Attention and Ad Revenues with Daisy-Chained ViewSonic Direct View LED Displays

Contrary to common belief, US airports are not funded by local tax dollars. In fact, they are required to be self-sustaining and are primarily funded through a variety of passenger and tenant fees as well as the sales of food and goods at the airport.

During the pandemic, revenues at all types of US commercial airports fell. The CEO at one regional airport sought to ameliorate this challenge, along with addressing other business needs, by installing updated digital signage. Included in his goals were to increase revenue from all types of advertising, to increase guest spending at in-airport retailers, and to enhance both passenger satisfaction and the overall image of the airport.

As with most public commercial airports, this one was an early adopter of digital signage, and used traditional commercial-grade LCD displays to provide live flight information and interactive wayfinding. Several 55-inch LCD displays showcased advertising from local retailers – all of which had been purchased several years ago. While still functional, they seemed small and outdated to the airport CEO, who had been noticing more modern-looking digital displays.

This CEO asked his IT director to investigate the technology behind the thin, massive displays he had begun seeing in select retail locations and huge airport hubs. Their AV integrator said that this cutting-edge digital signage technology was called Direct View LED, and that the newest type was thinner and more durable than ever. Made up of many smaller LED panels, this technology was simpler, easier, and less costly to maintain than traditional LED and LCD displays. Together they reviewed solutions offered by the major display brands. Ultimately both recognized ViewSonic as the manufacturer


The CEO loved the slim and vibrant look of the display, along with the ability to compartmentalize the space to display content from several sources. He was further swayed by the solutions’ low-maintenance profi le and the ability for airport staff to replace LED panels, if needed, rather than requiring the services of a third party – which would be less efficient and more costly.

The CEO loved the slim and vibrant look of the display, along with the ability to compartmentalize the space to display content from several sources. He was further swayed by the solutions’ low-maintenance profile and the ability for airport staff to replace LED panels, if needed, rather than requiring the services of a third party – which would be less efficient and more costly. Instead of moving an entire display around for maintenance, the hot-swappable front LED modules allow staff to change any defective piece. An included vacuum maintenance tool uses suction to easily remove and replace LED modules. The ability to service the display quickly and without having to remove it from the wall would mean less disruption to passengers.

Additionally, he learned that the most current version of the technology, called COB, was more durable than earlier generations. With an ingress protection rating of IP54, the ViewSonic® Direct View LED displays were protected against contamination from dust and other particles and would not be harmed by liquid spills or sprays. These latest ViewSonic Direct View LED displays would also provide more protection against accidental impact. This was an important factor for installation in a space filled daily with bustling crowds loaded down with suitcases and bags while gripping coffee and water bottles.

For his part, the IT director was pleased to learn that the displays included device management software that would enable him to remotely manage all aspects of the device. With a monthly subscription to myViewBoard® Manager Advanced, he would be further able to control and schedule the multimedia content.

Nonetheless, the project almost stalled when ViewSonic’s largest available Direct View LED, at 216-inches, was too small for the area the CEO wanted to use – a long hallway that connected the terminals with the retail services space. With a call to his ViewSonic rep, the AV integrator had the answer: daisy-chain two 163” displays for an impressive 23.7 feet of brilliant, virtually frameless image.

Based on this solution, they ultimately decided to purchase two 163” 4K UHD all-in-one Direct View LED displays. Installation was completed in less than a day, with minimal disruption to passersby. The resulting display was beyond stunning, and according to the IT director, the CEO has been thrilled with the performance. To date, there has been virtually zero downtime in the 24/7 schedule. Airport retailers and local businesses are running ads, and the massive display caught the eye of a well-known local blogger passing by, who mentioned it in glowing terms in a post.

Ultimately, the airport CEO is quite satisfied with his investment in the huge display hallway, as he likes to call it. The images are consistently vibrant and stunning, and the super-slim profi le skims the wall, giving it an ultramodern look. Not only has it brought in new and increased ad revenue, it achieved the goal of raising the profi le of the airport. Passersby comment on it constantly, and the CEO has received calls from numerous local businesses interested in the technology. He is confi dent that over the next year he will recoup the investment in ad revenue.

Auto Manufacture Chooses ViewSonic Direct View LED Over LCD Wall for Cybersecurity Command Center

SOLUTION BRIEF

Auto Manufacture Chooses ViewSonic Direct View LED Over LCD Wall for Cybersecurity Command Center

This account executive is an auto enthusiast who works at an AV integrator near Detroit. Not surprisingly, his favorite clients are automobile manufacturers. He came to know one particularly well, helping meet their many monitor and display needs for over 10 years. His most recent installation for them was a ViewSonic 163-inch 4K Ultra HD Direct View LED display in an all-new cybersecurity control room.

The customer had been using ViewSonic® desktop monitors, commercial digital signage, and ViewBoard® interactive fl at panel displays for quite some time. Many years prior, the AV account manager had joined the IT folks from the car company to walk the floor at InfoComm, the largest professional AV trade show in North America. At the time the company had installed products from a different manufacture in their conference rooms. They wanted to find out if there might be a better fit for them. At the ViewSonic booth, the staff listened carefully to their needs, showed them their meeting room displays, and put together a major accounts deal that the car maker couldn’t refuse.

From that day on, the powerhouse manufacturer and their AV partner relied on ViewSonic for outstanding products and service. After many years of working with ViewSonic, the AV rep says that when it comes to service and support, ViewSonic is second to none. When he calls them, they pick up the phone, or call right back. The big-brand manufacturer that the car company used to use? They often would never respond. Over the years, the automanufacturer company installed ViewSonic commercial displays in its smaller conference rooms. Later, they added ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive flat panel displays to their larger meeting


The installment in the command room quickly garnered a great deal of attention from the powers that be, who were pleased with the phenomenal price-point for such a large, stunning display with a 5-year warranty that would also reduce maintenance time. Of course, they were also familiar with ViewSonic’s reputation for tremendous service and support.


spaces, which they then standardized on, purchasing around 1,000 over several years for lobbies, training rooms, and plants, in addition to meeting rooms. The company has also standardized on ViewSonic desktop displays for employee workspaces.

As with other large multinational brands, cybersecurity had become a pressing concern. To address these issues, the auto manufacturer company was building out space for a cybersecurity command center. The initial plan was to install an array of commercial LCD displays. The AV rep convinced them to look at a relative newcomer on the market – Direct View LED technology.

ViewSonic offered the technology in several sizes, up to a massive 216-inches of seamless screen. In terms of looks, these displays clearly outshone stacked LCD displays with visible bezel lines. At about a third of the depth, the Direct View LED displays delivered an ultra-slim look; the frame was barely visible. The practical benefits further set the technology apart. The AV account rep was particularly pleased with the all-in-one aspect of the ViewSonic Direct View LED displays. A completely preconfigured solution with a powerful embedded operating system, virtually all the customer would need to do would be to plug it in.

With the versatility to display content from multiple sources, it was an ideal fit for a command center. Users could also share content from mobile devices using the included ViewSonic ViewBoard Cast™ software. The integrated OS looked and functioned like a familiar PC environment, which would make it easy and intuitive for users to install apps, access the internet, play multimedia, and connect wirelessly.

The auto manufacturer company IT team was additionally impressed by the most current LED chip-on-a-board (COB) technology, which was more durable and consumed less power than older generations, while delivering ultrafine pixel pitch and the highest-available resolution. Certified to IP54 ingress protection standards, the ViewSonic Direct View LED displays were dust and water resistant and provided greater protection against collisions. The new technology also provided a wider viewing angle of 170-degrees.

The team ultimately purchased the ViewSonic model LDP163-09, a 163-inch 4K Ultra HD Direct View LED display. Installation took around six hours, far less than it would have taken to install an LCD wall of similar size. The IT team responsible for maintenance was happy to see the front placement of the LED panels in action – clearly this display would be easier and less time-consuming to maintain than a video wall.

According to the AV account manager, the installment in the command room quickly garnered a great deal of attention from the powers that be, who were pleased with the phenomenal price-point for such a large, stunning display with a 5-year warranty that would also reduce maintenance time. Of course, they were also familiar with ViewSonic’s reputation for tremendous service and support. As the AV account rep summed it up, they know from fi rsthand experience that with ViewSonic they get the complete package – great products backed by great support.

Rural School District Connects Classrooms and More with ViewSonic ViewBoard Displays and Chromeboxes

SOLUTION BRIEF

Rural School District Connects Classrooms and More with ViewSonic ViewBoard Displays and Chromeboxes

Well before the coronavirus made “hybrid learning” a household phrase, one rural school district, which spans 374 miles and 26 schools, sought to acquire digital technology that would enable it to connect distant schools for hybrid-style instructional resource sharing. While each school had core classes like math and English covered, many other courses, like foreign languages and specialized STEM classes, were only available at certain locations.

At the recommendation of their reseller partner, the district used grant funds to purchase three 86-inch ViewSonic® ViewBoard® IFP8650 interactive displays to test out in three high school classrooms.

The pilot was an immediate success and the IT team began considering additional display technology needs to further boost continuity of education throughout the district, where aging display equipment sat unused by teachers. The logical first step was to dig more deeply into what the existing ViewBoard displays could offer.

Fortunately, the district had received additional grant money. The overwhelming consensus was to use these funds to standardize on ViewSonic products. The IT team tested a solution consisting of the IFP8650 ViewBoard interactive display, as well as a ViewSonic NMP760 Chromebox and external web cam. An initial order of 300 bundles provided this solution to classrooms in every grade level of each of 14 elementary schools, as well as a middle and high school.

As anticipated, the ViewBoard displays accomplished the goal of facilitating efficient and eff ective hybrid learning. The benefits of the ViewBoard-Chromebox solution, however, far eclipsed this initial objective, revitalizing both hybrid and in-person learning. One English teacher noted a distinct


Teachers told the IT team how much they appreciated the simplicity of getting started with the ViewBoard display and it’s included myViewBoard® software, and most were able to do so without any training. Science, social studies, and math instructors quickly began using the integrated graphs, backgrounds, and tools.


uptick in enthusiasm when teaching with his ViewSonic ViewBoard, saying that it helped increase his students’ focus and attention, improved engagement, and increased class participation by getting students actively involved in lessons.

A math teacher found the displays easy to use and ideal for hybrid learning. She commented on particularly appreciating the way that the integrated tools like the pens, graphing tools, and Desmos calculator, enhanced her teaching options. A fellow math teacher was particularly pleased with the fl exibility provided by the ViewBoard interactive display, which allowed her to move around the room while teaching. The bundled Chromebox and camera enabled teachers to quickly connect remote students via Google Meet then conduct the entire class from the ViewSonic ViewBoard display. Students at home or in remote classrooms were able to see those in the home classroom and vice versa. Everyone – no matter where they were – could share content once it was approved by the teacher. Teachers told the IT team how much they appreciated the simplicity of getting started with the ViewBoard display and it’s included myViewBoard® software, and most were able to do so without any training. Science, social studies, and math instructors quickly began using the integrated graphs, backgrounds, and tools. Many commented on the ability to take screenshots and record and save content, complete with annotations. Other favorite features included the ability to move around content, zoom into it, and highlight and annotate for emphasis and clarity. All noted that when students got up to the board to interact with content, either individually or in groups, they were clearly more interested and engaged.

“When we looked at the reliability and price point of ViewSonic’s ViewBoard product, along with the training and support they were offering, it all added up for ViewSonic. They were the sweet spot of everything we were looking for.”


— Joshua Harris, AUSD Director of Edtech

THE CHALLENGE

line drawing of a circular mazeline drawing of a circular maze
  • Replace severely outdated projectors and screens

  • Replacement tech must offer intuitive ease for a hesitant teaching staff

  • Display technology must allow teachers the freedom to move around the room

  • Solution must be reliable and eliminate downtime from maintenance

Imagine using the same edtech – for 20 years. That’s how long the Alisal Union School District had relied on classroom projectors and pull-down screens. The time to replace them was long overdue.

“The projectors just weren’t cutting it,” said AUSD Director of Edtech Joshua Harris. “20 years is quite old for digital and electronics technology. It’s not going to be reliable.”

The push to purchase new front-of-classroom display technology came from a newly appointed superintendent, who intended to update classrooms for 21st century learning. Café seating and other flexible furnishings were planned to support active, project-based learning. Harris was asked to find a complete solution that would support this classroom modernization.

“The edtech professional mindset deeply considers teacher perspective,” said Harris. “Top of mind for us was finding a solution that would ease the transition for teachers unaccustomed to modern instructional technology.”

Another key requirement was the ability to untether teachers from their desks, which would allow them to take full advantage of the updated classroom and evolving pedagogical direction.

“We wanted a solution that allowed the teacher to be freed from their desk and from the need for added tech like a document camera or tablet,” said Harris. “We also wanted a simple, stable solution.”

Asking themselves, ‘what will meet these goals while giving us the closest to 100% uptime,’ the IT team assessed current available technology and found the answer: interactive flat panel (IFP) displays.

THE SOLUTION

  • ViewSonic® ViewBoard® IFP7550 75-inch interactive displays with myViewBoard® software

  • Intentional, repeated, high quality professional development with ViewSonic

After some months of research, the team further determined that interactive flat panel displays would meet all their criteria. They narrowed the field to ViewSonic® ViewBoard® interactive displays with myViewBoard® software, which provided them with an ideal combination of features.

“When we looked at the reliability and price point of ViewSonic’s ViewBoard product, along with the training and support they were offering, it all added up for ViewSonic,” said Harris. “They were the sweet spot of everything we were looking for.”

After piloting the solution in 14 K-6 classrooms, the edtech and IT teams together recommended that the district outfit all learning spaces with ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive displays. The district purchased 300 ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP7550 75-inch interactive displays with myViewBoard software, which would be installed in waves following the start of the next school year.

THE RESULTS

Line drawing of a rocketLine drawing of a rocket
  • Teachers quickly adapted to using the new display technology

  • Active learning, with interaction and collaboration has increased

  • Students are more engaged with class content

  • Bright images allow teachers to keep lights on/shades open

As with any change, some teachers were initially resistant. At the same time, teachers in the pilot classrooms began talking about how much they enjoyed using the new interactive displays.

“We’re a very word-of-mouth community, and the teachers who had used the ViewBoard interactive displays were sharing their opinions,” said Harris. “They commented on the improved clarity and brightness of the images, and how much they liked being able to keep the lights on and shades open. The early adopters quickly started using the myViewBoard digital whiteboarding software and spread the word about how useful it was to be able to annotate and highlight content.”

While the peer encouragement helped immensely, Harris knew that much more was needed to smooth the transition.

“We lean heavily into training teachers,” said Harris. “My motto for this department is that investment in teachers is investment in students.”

First, he and his team introduced the full teaching staff to the new tech at the annual district convocation meeting, where they demonstrated the solution’s capabilities, including the handy toolbar with one-touch access to apps, pens, and other front-of-glass tools; the ability to share and receive content using the ViewBoard Cast™ software; and the smooth 20-point touchscreen.

“Our goal was to build positive anticipation for the devices,” said Harris. “I think this demo definitely did that. For one thing, there were audible gasps when we demonstrated some capabilities – like the ability to draw 3D shapes.”

For another, Harris said, after the presentation he was approached by teachers who told him how excited they were to use the interactive displays in their classrooms. Resistance among change-and tech-averse teachers was waning.

In line with the district’s reputation for commitment to professional development, district leaders agreed to compensate teachers for time spent training with the ViewBoard interactive displays prior to their installation. A ViewSonic trainer held 10 two-hour zoom trainings, each covering the same ViewSonic Level 1 Module 1 lessons. Teachers were paid for their time spent after contracted hours and were allowed to attend the trainings as many times as they liked.

“Our ViewSonic trainer, George, did such a great job with the virtual training,” said Harris. “It wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do – teaching how to use a touch-based device on Zoom – but he did it. The teachers found it very valuable.” One week after the training, the most ambitious teachers were getting students out of their seats, working at the boards, and mirroring content to and from their Chromebooks. Other teachers were getting their feet wet with the intuitive teacher-centered tools on the one-touch toolbar. Student enthusiasm was palpable. Younger cohorts enjoyed anything from simple annotation, starting and stopping the timer, and erasing content – all perfect stepping stones for where the technology would take them. Virtually all students were more engaged with content displayed on the ViewBoard displays.

With around 70% of the ViewBoard solutions deployed, Harris reported that the next steps would include training in using the myViewBoard lesson creation software, which will enable teachers to develop and share content from their Google Drives.

Event Company Offers Customers Fast, Easy Direct View LED Display Splendor Using ViewSonic Pre-Assembled Kit

SOLUTION BRIEF

Event Company Offers Customers Fast, Easy Direct View LED Display Splendor Using ViewSonic Pre-Assembled Kit

Exhibit companies and event planners are called on to create a wide range of unique spaces. Often they include one or more screens that enable clients to display presentations or showcase products and services. Traditional TV-like LCD rentals range in size from 24 to 98-inches. As the display size increases, so do installation challenges, resulting in added rental and labor costs that can make them cost-prohibitive for many exhibitors.

Companies with big-name brands and deep pockets can afford to own or rent massive LCD display walls and even huge, seamless, mounted Direct View LED displays. This exhibits and events management company wanted to offer its full range of customers a more affordable option for a large, seamless display.

After talking with representatives from major display brands, the exhibit company chose the ViewSonic® LDS135-151, a 135-inch all-in-one Direct View LED mobile display. The price-point was outstanding and the display was beautiful. However, the two primary factors in the decision were the embedded content capabilities and the ready-to-use kit – both of which would be instrumental in meeting the company’s objective of providing an easy, cost-effective solution for clients.

The ViewSonic all-in-one Direct View LED display had everything customers would need to run various types of content, and the interface was familiar and intuitive. Content could be loaded via Wi-Fi or downloaded from a browser. The format mirrored a typical PC environment for intuitive app installation, web browsing, multimedia play, wireless device connection, and more. The included


[The owner] was delighted at how easy it was to return it to her preferred height with a push of a button, thanks to the ability to save up to three different height settings. That afternoon she put in an order for two more kits. She plans to purchase more if necessary to meet customer demand while allowing her to keep one permanently stationed at her facility.


ViewBoard Cast™ content sharing software further enabled easy content streaming from mobile devices onto the display.

The ease of the ready-to-use kit would allow the company to o  er the solution at a lower price-point. It contained everything needed to deliver a huge 135-inch display in a more cost-conscious way. In particular, setup could be accomplished in a manner of minutes – far less than what was required to mount, level, and fine-tune traditional LCD displays. Because it would be easy to deploy, over-and-over again, it would reduce labor costs compared to a mounted solution, or even other, less modular, cart-based options.

Everything in the included storage case was pre-assembled. The LED modules and cabinets were assembled atop a motorized cart that simply rolled out of the case and unfolded to its full size. The system control box came attached to the bottom edge of the display. And that was it. The smooth and silent 360° rotating wheels would let clients position the display exactly as needed in their space. Nothing else was required beyond a 20amp power outlet to plug it in. The motorized height adjust would allow for easy fine-tuning to fit perfectly in virtually any booth or meeting space.

Before making the final purchase decision, the exhibit company’s installation team tested it out. As promised, setup took a matter of minutes. They were convinced that even those with limited technical knowledge would be able to manage every aspect – although depending on the location they may have to allow for a labor union contractor to plug it in.

The owner of the company purchased one kit, with the intention of buying more if the product became popular among her customers. Until they had their first interested client, she used the display in their showroom, with scrolling content of their recent booth builds and testimonials from satisfied customers.

Her team began pitching the new display. It wasn’t long before a client – impressed by the price-point for such a large, dramatic display – wanted to use it at an upcoming trade show. To say the client was thrilled would be an understatement. Larger than four 67-inch LCD displays combined – but without the distraction of lines – the vibrant display pulled visitors into the booth. The client reported that their lead volume was signifi cantly higher than usual for this type of event.

The included flight-ready case facilitated easy transport and delivery and the client was impressed by the protective packaging and ease of assembly. Setup, he reported, took less time and effort than with other types of (much smaller) displays they had rented in the past. Loading and running their content, he said, was just as easy and trouble-free.

When the display returned to home base, the owner of the exhibit company was happy to have it back in the showroom, helping promote their services. She was delighted at how easy it was to return it to her preferred height with a push of a button, thanks to the ability to save up to three different height settings. That afternoon she put in an order for two more kits. She plans to purchase more if necessary to meet customer demand while allowing her to keep one permanently stationed at her facility.

Independent Café Increases Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction with ViewSonic Commercial Displays and myViewBoard Manager Software

SOLUTION BRIEF

Independent Café Increases Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction with ViewSonic Commercial Displays and myViewBoard Manager Software

The owners of a popular independent café were looking for ways to increase efficiency around their menu signage. At the same time, they were about to undergo an interior remodel. While the brother-sister duo was fond of their chalkboard-look menu signs, keeping the content up-to-date had become tedious, and the look would feel outdated when the interior refresh was complete. Both fans of the contemporary look of digital signage, the entrepreneurs were nonetheless wary about cost. They also didn’t want a system that would be difficult to learn and manage. They were skeptical that they would find digital signage in their price range that would also be reliable and look great.

The more technically minded of the two, the sister began exploring the world of digital signage. As she learned about its many uses, she began to see benefits beyond being cool-looking and enabling quick content changes for their menu board. For one thing, they could use digital content to help distract and entertain the increasingly long lines at the cafe. They could also use the signage to promote high-inventory, high-margin items. She also liked the idea of replacing their cluttered cork bulletin board with a digital sign to showcase the many local cultural events that friends and family members were involved in.

After getting up to speed on the basics of digital signage, the path forward was less clear. Google searches led her to companies clearly pushing their own agenda. She wanted independent advice on products from a range of suppliers – from someone experienced in the business of helping companies


When [the owner] saw it in person, the display was bright and stunning. Text was crisp and legible while the images were clear and vibrant. Line-item lists like menus popped off the screen. Guaranteed to play multimedia from internal storage or a USB fl ash drive for up to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, this model was less costly than those with 24/7 playback – perfect for their needs.


like hers install this type of equipment. She found what she was looking for at a Chamber of Commerce networking event: a local AV installer well-versed in commercial display solutions for small-to-medium sized retailers and restaurants – not just home theater installs, though they did that, too.

After listening to her goals, the AV engineer recommended that they only consider reputable brands, which could deliver the performance and reliability she wanted. While she knew from her research that she could find less expensive options, she agreed. She and her brother were too busy handling other aspects of the business (and their lives) to invest in anything other than a solid solution with a reliably long lifespan. Among the highly rated wellknown brands, ViewSonic professional-quality commercial displays had exceptional pricing. Select models were also guaranteed for use up to 24/7, so she was confident that they could handle their restaurant’s schedule for many years to come.

The AV consultant informed her that the ViewSonic brand was known for delivering displays with stunning images, which she saw for herself when she visited their showroom. The ViewSonic® CDE5512 55-inch display with 3840 x 2160 resolution was top on her list based on size and price. When she saw it in person, the display was bright and stunning. Text was crisp and legible while the images were clear and vibrant. Line-item lists like menus popped off the screen. Guaranteed to play multimedia from internal storage or a USB flash drive for up to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, this model was less costly than those with 24/7 playback – perfect for their needs. Additionally, the included myViewBoard® Manager software would allow them to remotely manage the displays. If for some reason they both had to be away at closing time, they could remotely power down the displays from their laptops.

Finally, before making a recommendation to her brother, she wanted to understand how they would get content onto the displays. She learned that there were two options. They could upload content onto a USB drive, which would then connect to the display. Or, they could purchase a one-time perpetual license for ViewSonic Signage Manager software, which would allow them to create and schedule playlists. After a walk-through of the software, this seemed like the way to go.

When she presented these ideas to her brother-business partner, his primary concern was that they create a content plan before committing to the investment. They realized that they would need to invest some time upfront, creating an assortment of template designs that could then be quickly updated as needed down the line.

Ultimately, they decided to purchase three ViewSonic CDE5512 55-inch displays. Two would replace the chalkboard menus. They would use the third to promote high-inventory and high margin items while including diverting content like live weather, sports, and music videos. To ensure that the content looked as good as the displays, they would hire a graphic design intern from the local college to create a menu of templates that reinforced their brand look and feel.

Several months after the remodel and display installation were complete, the duo reported that the signage has been exceptionally well-received by their customers. The regulars appreciated the modern new look and the fun digital programming. Patrons old and new began ordering more of the promoted items – helping reduce product outages and increasing sales of high-margin items. At this point they decided the time was right to install a fourth digital display in place of their traditional bulletin board.

ViewSonic Named a Winner for CRN’s 2023 Tech Innovator Award

Brea, CA (Jul 18, 2023) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, announces that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company a Winner for the 2023 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. ViewSonic is being recognized for the LDP216-121 all-in-one Direct View LED Display in the Displays Category.

This annual award program showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 37 different technology categories, in key areas ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. To determine the 2023 winners, a panel of CRN editors reviewed hundreds of vendor entries—including solution provider testimonials—using multiple criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.

 

ViewSonic LDP216-121

The ViewSonic® 216-inch LDP216-121 is a 4K All-in-One Direct View LED Display and offers the latest development in LED packaging technology, with Chip-on-Board (COB) LED panels that feature multiple LED flip chips bonded directly to the substrate without bonding wires. Compared to Surface Mounted Device (SMD) technology, COB LEDs provides ultra-fine pixel pitch, enhanced resolution, and higher luminous efficiency with less power consumption. With jaw-dropping screen size, ultra-slim bezel, and detachable system control box, the LDP216-121 provides a stylish, minimalist design perfect for corporate lobbies and boardrooms, school auditoriums and gymnasiums, retail spaces and more. Installation can be done in either portrait or landscape mode, and for even more versatility, two of the LDP216-121 displays can be easily installed side-by-side to form an ultra-wide 32:9 video wall of epic proportions.

 

“CRN’s annual Tech Innovator Awards acknowledge technology vendors committed to new and updated products that are creating the biggest opportunities for the solution providers and strategic service providers working on the from lines with customers,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Congratulations to each one of this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award winners.

“To be awarded with a win from CRN’s Tech Innovator Awards is a great achievement for us, especially with the LDP216-121 DvLED display,” said Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic. “Our team worked hard to develop this product.

Peruvian School Boosts Hybrid Learning and English Language Instruction with ViewSonic ViewBoard Interactive Displays

CASE STUDY

Peruvian School Boosts Hybrid Learning and English Language Instruction with ViewSonic ViewBoard Interactive Displays

SCHOOL

Founded in 1954, Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (CCPNA) is a distinguished educational institution dedicated to English language instruction in southern Peru. Headquartered in the city of Arequipa, it not only serves as a center for language learning but also plays a vital role in fostering cultural exchange and promoting American culture through a diverse range of events such as plays, musicals, art galleries, film screenings, round tables, conferences, and more.

Apart from its main office in Arequipa, CCPNA has branches in the cities of Puno, Juliaca, Ilo, Moquegua, and Tacna. With a comprehensive array of 20 English learning programs tailored to different age groups, academic intensity, and frequency, the institution accommodates a total of 7,000 students. These programs offer immersive National Geographic Learning experiences, ensuring a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

“ViewSonic was the most suitable solution to meet our needs. The fact that other companies off ered similar teaching support tools that were only compatible with Android helped us make our decision.”


— Álvaro Salinas, CCPNA General Director

THE CHALLENGE

line drawing of a circular mazeline drawing of a circular maze
  • Contar con pantallas táctiles que potencien la experiencia híbrida del aprendizaje del idioma inglés en todas sus sedes

  • Que los equipos ofrezcan la posibilidad de usar herramientas no solo dentro del ecosistema Android, sino en Windows y la plataforma Workspace de Google

  • Integrar una plataforma que permita el uso de herramientas para la fácil administración de los equipos en cuanto a encendido y apagado remoto, mensajería y demás para los profesores

  • Implementar todas estas mejoras en pocos meses para el retorno a clases de los alumnos en los primeros meses de 2023

CCPNA needed an easy way of implementing hybrid teaching across all of its campuses. Initially, they experimented with non-native touchscreen solutions and television sets. However, these options proved unsatisfactory due to subpar resolution and limited functionality. As a result, CCPNA embarked on a quest to find alternative teaching methods that could eff ectively support their new educational approach.

Álvaro Salinas, General Director of CCPNA, explains, “To achieve this, we required a cutting-edge interactive display as the cornerstone of our implementation. While we were already utilizing AI cameras and microphones in our classrooms, we lacked an interactive display solution with a robust platform to complement this transition.”

Consequently, the institution’s authorities directed their efforts towards finding a display that off ered user-friendly teaching tools and functionalities, such as those provided by the ViewSonic® myViewBoard® platform for content creation and casting. They sought an easily manageable application that could enhance both physical and online learning experiences.

The implementation process was a race against time as it needed to be completed by the beginning of 2023. To accomplish this, they relied on a slot-in OPS mini PC to power the display, making it the central component of the interactive learning experience. This setup enabled the utilization of myViewBoard software and provided teachers and students with an extensive range of resources.

THE SOLUTION

line drawing of a jigsaw puzzle pieceline drawing of a jigsaw puzzle piece
  • 109 ViewBoard IFP6532 interactive displays, and 11 ViewBoard IFP8632 interactive displays across all CCPNA sites in southern Peru. An additional display was installed at Instituto de Diseño Thomas Jefferson

  • Teacher training to effectively utilize all the functionalities that enhance the hybrid learning experience

  • myViewBoard software and Manager Advanced

After careful evaluation of various market proposals, CCPNA made the decision to procure a total of 120 ViewSonic® ViewBoard® interactive displays for their campuses. This included 109 ViewBoard IFP6532 65-inch interactive displays, and 11 ViewBoard IFP8632 86-inch interactive displays. To complement these displays, 120 VPC25-W53-O1 slot-in PC units were also included in the order. These technology resources were installed not only at CCPNA branches in southern Peru but also at their sister institution, the Instituto de Diseño Thomas Jefferson.

To facilitate efficient management and control of the interactive display network, ViewSonic® Manager Advanced™ software was seamlessly integrated into the solution. This software offers centralized control for executing tasks, performing updates, and sending messages or alarms directly to the displays, eliminating the need for physical presence in the classroom. Undoubtedly, this feature is a significant time and resource-saving advantage. Thanks to this implementation, 100% of the classrooms at the CCPNA Arequipa headquarters are now equipped with interactive displays. In the other cities, coverage reaches an impressive 90%, with the remaining margin representing areas where this implementation is not currently necessary.

RESULTS

Line drawing of a rocketLine drawing of a rocket
  • Significant improvement in the hybrid learning experience
  • Access to a broader range of tools for both teaching and administrative tasks for teachers
  • Fulfi llment of all the institution’s requirements at its various sites
  • Platform versatility to seamlessly work with different ecosystems
  • CCPNA has emerged as the leading English teaching institution in Peru, thanks to its advanced technological facilities

The ViewSonic solution has significantly improved the hybrid teaching experience within the CCPNA educational community.

One notable aspect of the ViewSonic solution is its compatibility with both Android-supported tools and Windows-based applications for delivering classes, as well as integration with the Google Workspace platform. Additionally, the inclusion of myViewBoard software for content creation further enhances the teaching experience.

“ViewSonic was the most suitable solution to meet our needs,” said Salinas. “The fact that other companies offered similar teaching support tools that were only compatible with Android helped us make our decision.”

Salinas further adds that the teacher training process progressed smoothly, as the use of the new equipment proved intuitive, and many teachers already possessed a clear understanding of how to handle technology. This familiarity with the capabilities of the interactive displays made it easier for them to leverage all the features.

The delivery of technology resources began in the fi nal months of the previous year, and the implementation proceeded swiftly, concluding in March 2023. According to Alex Carlos, Regional Sales Manager of ViewSonic in Peru, CCPNA has now become “the best-equipped English educational center in the country, surpassing institutions in both the south and even those operating in Lima or the north of Peru. Moreover, it has emerged as a leading educational institution in terms of technological facilities in the Andean region.”

The CCPNA representative concludes, “For us, it was essential that this experience be extended to all students, not limited to certain classrooms, such as schools or universities. We aimed to create hybrid classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology, ensuring that all our students can enjoy a high-quality hybrid learning experience.”

Retail Market Chain Shines with Cost Savings and Contemporary Look of ViewSonic Digital Signage

CASE STUDY

Retail Market Chain Shines with Cost Savings and Contemporary Look of ViewSonic Digital Signage

CUSTOMER PROFILE

Founded in 1951 by brothers Bernard and Eugene Gelson as an extraordinary grocery shopping experience for discerning consumers, Gelson’s Markets is recognized today as one of the nation’s premier supermarket chains. With stores in neighborhoods throughout Southern California, each location is singularly known as the area’s best market for superior produce, highest quality meat, seafood and deli, an unmatched selection of wine and liquor, and exceptional service.

Canvas LogoCanvas Logo

“Everything on the ViewSonic displays looks better than printed signs. Images and text are crisp and clear and we can also use video. It’s a lot more compelling and eye catching.”


— Yvonne Manganaro, SVP Customer and Team Experience

THE CHALLENGE

line drawing of a circular mazeline drawing of a circular maze
  • Upscale retail market sought to upgrade print signage with a more contemporary alternative that would enable them to change out content more quickly and cost-effectively

Known as “the ultimate foodie paradise,” and a “place to spoil yourself,” by fans on Yelp, Gelson’s is not your average supermarket. Amenities like wine and craft beer bars, gourmet cheese islands, and chef-led prepared food stations distinguish Gelson’s shopping experience. Offering made-fresh daily dishes is clearly an outstanding recipe for customer satisfaction. However, keeping the signage as fresh and up-to-date became a costly and time-consuming burden.

“Many of our departments needed to update their signage on a very regular basis,” said Yvonne Manganaro, SVP Customer and Team Experience. “We realized that we needed to do something different that would allow us to reduce print costs while also bringing a more contemporary look to the stores.”

To find a solution for this dilemma, Manganaro and a coworker from the company’s procurement department traveled to a digital signage trade show in Las Vegas to assess the options.

THE SOLUTION

line drawing of a jigsaw puzzle pieceline drawing of a jigsaw puzzle piece
  • ViewSonic 43-inch CDE4320 professional-grade commercial displays

  • ViewSonic network media players models NMP309-W and NMP589-W with included digital signage software

  • ViewSonic 42-inch EP4220 ePoster

The duo visited a host of booths, talking to reps from many companies. By the time they left the ViewSonic booth, Manganaro was convinced that they had found their digital signage partner.

“The first thing that we liked about ViewSonic was that they’re based in California, close enough for us to easily visit their showroom,” she said. “Along with that, and probably the primary deciding factor, was the free software that is included with their digital signage solutions.”

While not as feature-packed as some of the available software, said Manganaro, the ViewSonic software had everything they needed to meet their retail signage needs.

“The more robust software usually has monthly or annual subscription fees and that would have added a lot of cost to each unit,” she said. “We loved that the ViewSonic program was included and very functional for what we needed.”

Manganaro was sold on the ViewSonic solution, which included vibrant ViewSonic® 43-inch CDE4320 professional-grade commercial displays and ViewSonic network media players (models NMP309-W and NMP589-W) with included Signage Manager software. Gelson’s began installing the ViewSonic digital signage throughout their stores, for what has amounted to a total of 16 ViewSonic CDE4320 displays (plus one EP4220 ePoster) in each of 27 stores over the past 10 years.

THE RESULTS

Line drawing of a rocketLine drawing of a rocket
  • Return on investment was achieved across all departments in under a year

  • Department managers can now update content as often as needed

  • Digital signage and ePosters deliver a more modern, upscale look

  • The digital platforms provide vendor partners with message showcase opportunities

  • Customer satisfaction increased, with compelling content to view while waiting for service

Take one look and it’s clear that the digital screens deliver a more modern look than printed signage, easily meeting Manganaro’s first goal.

“Everything on the ViewSonic displays looks better than printed signs. Images and text are crisp and clear and we can also use video,” she said. “It’s a lot more compelling and eye catching.”

What’s more, department managers can update content in a fraction of the time it took when the stores relied on printed signs.

“The ViewSonic digital signage gives us a lot more flexibility,” said Manganaro. “There were times in the past when budget wouldn’t allow us to update a menu because it was going to cost a couple thousand dollars to change out signs. Now that’s not even a factor; we can change content whenever department owners want to.”

The convenience and good looks of the ViewSonic digital signage came with another outstanding benefit – substantial cost savings.

“We calculated the ROI before we purchased the displays,” said Manganaro. “For our departments that had the most variability in menu and ingredient content it took about 10 months to break even. A few took a bit longer, but not much.”

As the Gelson’s business continued to grow and add departments, increasing the number of screens to manage with the ViewSonic software, Manganaro acknowledged that they did encounter a constraint in the free software.

“The ViewSonic software has a limit of 50 screens on one set up, but because it’s so wonderfully straightforward and easy to work with our IT team was able to create a work around,” she said. “They created channels of content for departments – one for meat and seafood, one for the front desk, and so on.”

This, she added, makes it easy for their designer to create content, then copy and paste as needed, and finally upload quickly to multiple units. Content is then scheduled through the software, another basic yet critical feature, according to Manganaro.

“The ability to schedule is key,” she said. “I can’t imagine trying to have a designer physically at a computer at 6 am before we open or right when our ad breaks, or on Friday when suddenly there’s something new to communicate in the produce department.”

After nearly 10 years of using the ViewSonic CDE displays and software, Manganaro says that the most beautiful thing about the solution is that it ‘just works.’

“We didn’t need or want to pay for bells and whistles; this is a very functional program that does everything we need it to do in a retail environment,” she said. “We looked at a lot of other systems and we’re so glad to be working with ViewSonic. We service hundreds of thousands of customers per week and need to deliver a uniformly good experience – our stores get so busy that the last thing we need to worry about is tech failing.”

In fact, Manganaro confessed, they once installed a digital signage system in a store because of a technology ViewSonic didn’t have at the time, and it has been a headache.

“The downtime at that store has been horrible,” she said. “The ViewSonic system is just so reliable. I don’t have to worry about it and my team doesn’t have to worry about it. It just works.”

As Manganaro and her team became more experienced with the digital signage equipment and its benefi ts, they began looking for a solution to the unwieldly signage in the stores’ entryway.

“We replaced some rather cluttered-looking printed signage with the sleek ViewSonic EP4220 ePoster,” she said. “Now we can display multiple moving images and when visitors walk into the store it delivers an upscale look in line with our brand.”

Beyond saving a substantial amount of time and money, and imparting a contemporary feel, the ViewSonic digital displays have added value to Gelson’s markets in another notable way, said Manganaro – for their partners.

“We are able to do some terrific storytelling and create videos that showcase our amazing partners,” she said. “For example, our director of meat and seafood went on a fishing trip with a vendor and shot a video we used to showcase their sustainable practices and how they bring product to market so quickly.”

Gelson’s partners are thrilled to receive this additional visibility and support, she added, and customers are big fans of the content as well.

“While they’re waiting for service customers have something interesting to watch,” she said. “This compelling content helps improve customer satisfaction and informs them about the vendors, products and care that sets us apart from other groceries.”

In every way, working with ViewSonic has been a very positive experience, concluded Manganaro.

“We manage well over 300 screens in our chain, and when there’s a problem it’s virtually always because one of our team members accidentally bumped a media player, unplugged something, or broke an antenna,” she said. “It’s rarely a problem with the ViewSonic solutions.”

Custom Motocross Gear Company Creates High-Impact Dealer Sales Kit with ViewSonic ePoster Interactive Kiosk

CUSTOMER PROFILE

Founded in 2015 by former professional supercross racer Michael Leib, Canvas MX is a motocross gear manufacturer that specializes in completely customizable kits and other apparel. The first MX gear company to offer the clean look of blank black and white gear, Canvas MX evolved into its current bespoke design focus, offering a wide range of customization lines through its 3D design portal at canvasmx.com.

Canvas LogoCanvas Logo

“It showcases our 3D design portal beautifully, and I love how you just can’t miss the ViewSonic kiosk in a store. It’s big, clean, modern and high-quality – a perfect partner for displaying our modern, high-quality product.”


— Michael Leib, Founder of Canvas MX

THE CHALLENGE

line drawing of a circular mazeline drawing of a circular maze
  • Create a dealer sales package that included an interactive kiosk for in-store ordering of customized motocross apparel

After leaving the racing circuit in 2020, pro rider Michael Leib had more time to focus on his business enterprise, Canvas MX, which offers customizable motocross apparel though its 3D website portal. The company fills a unique niche in a business where fans, riders and dealers looking for custom apparel typically wait 18 months for customized apparel shipped from overseas – or settle for off-the-shelf designs.

Until recently, the company’s sole operational focus was on internet sales. By producing its product in the US, Canvas MX was able to deliver items quickly, within three to four weeks. The 3D portal was well-designed and easy to use. With these pieces in place, Leib was ready to expand on the concept.

“We knew that to scale the business we needed a way to take it into the dealerships,” said Leib. “We have an outstanding website customization and ordering interface, so we knew that what we needed was a way to take that interface directly to the dealers.”

In fact, Leib had already discovered the ideal solution during the early days of the business, while Leib was still spending most of his time involved in racing.

“I connected with Mad Moose Media, an on-site event photography company, at a race. They were using ViewSonic kiosks to display photos of race participants,” said Leib. “Riders and fans could scroll through images and order directly from the kiosk. I immediately realized that this was the platform we needed to use when we were ready to move forward with the dealership model.”

THE SOLUTION

line drawing of a jigsaw puzzle pieceline drawing of a jigsaw puzzle piece
  • ViewSonic EP5542T 55-inch Multi-touch Digital ePoster

The slim, freestanding kiosk Leib saw at the photo display was a ViewSonic® EP5542T 55-inch Multi-touch Digital ePoster. He tried one out at a tradeshow, which confirmed his initial reaction to the display.

“It was exactly what we wanted as the centerpiece of our dealer package,” he said. “It’s tall, great-looking, and attention-grabbing, and it was easy to run our website and offer customization right there on demand.”

With this vision in mind, Leib ramped up the company’s manufacturing capabilities in the US. When he was satisfi ed that he could meet dealer demand, he created the Canvas MX Dealer Kit, which includes a 55-inch ViewSonic ePoster kiosk, a mannequin, and 50 sets of dealer-specific
gear fit kits.

THE RESULTS

Line drawing of a rocketLine drawing of a rocket
  • The large, vibrant kiosk delivers an eye-catching showcase for dealers

  • Customers can easily create and order custom apparel using the smooth touchscreen interface

The Canvas MX Dealer Kit enables motorcycle dealers to easily offer custom gear and apparel in a way that conserves floor space and cash flow. Importantly, it also enables dealers to incorporate their own brand on the gear.

“It’s everything we need to deliver for our dealer partners,” said Leib. “This package lets them offer their own branded apparel without taking up tons of floor space, or tying up cash flow while waiting months and months for delivery of the product.”

Offered for a set base price, with no ongoing costs, the Canvas MX Dealer Kit revolutionizes the way gear is purchased in store, said Leib.

“Now customers can order custom motocross gear directly from their dealership,” he said. “Our Fit Kit is really cool because it allows people to touch and feel and try on the products as they’re designing their own custom gear on our ViewSonic kiosk.”

In an industry where motorcycle dealers that want to carry apparel typically must commit to buying upwards of 100,000 pieces then wait many months for delivery, this model is indeed ground breaking. The ViewSonic kiosk, said Leib, was central to making it happen.

“It showcases our 3D design portal beautifully, and I love how you just can’t miss the ViewSonic kiosk in a store,” said Leib. “It’s big, clean, modern and high-quality – a perfect partner for displaying our modern, high-quality product.”

Among the excellent features, he added, are the vibrant colors, crisp graphics, and smooth touchscreen response.

“The ViewSonic kiosk enabled us to provide dealers with an amazing display,” said Leib. “It has enabled us expand into new markets and to do it in a way that fully meets dealer needs for a great-looking showcase.”

ViewSonic Launches World’s First “Designed for Xbox” X2-4K LED Projector

The Short-Throw X2-4K LED Projector Brings the Best Gaming Experience to Xbox Gamers

 

Brea, CA – INFOCOMM 2023 Booth #1614 – (June 15, 2023) ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, introduces the X2-4K LED Projector for Xbox. World’s first “Certified for Xbox” projector, it projects the largest certified Xbox gaming experience of any device on the market and does so at a native 120Hz refresh. It can deliver native 1440p resolution at a 120 Hz refresh rate experience from either of the Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Other features include native 4K @ 60hz Ultra HD output, made possible by a larger DMD and TI XPR technology. Built-in Harman Kardon speakers provide an exciting, immersive audio experience.

In developing the X2-4K short-throw LED projector, ViewSonic partnered with Microsoft to deliver the best gaming experience to the Xbox community. The Xbox Series X|S consoles can use HDMI Consumer Electronics Control [CEC] to send commands to and from CEC-enabled devices. CEC allows the user to operate, via controller and from the comfort of their couch, the X2-4K power on/off, and volume. This works on any of the current gaming consoles with HDMI and CEC functionality and is certified CEC compatible by the team at Xbox.

“The X2-4K projector was developed to be considered a true gaming projector,” said Mia Shen, Sr. Business Line Manager at ViewSonic. “It went through 63 tests conducted by Team Xbox to ensure ultimate console compatibility and is designated as the world’s first ‘Designed for Xbox’ certified projector.”

X2-4K’s native 4K @ 60Hz output and high brightness leads to a breathtaking 4K streaming experience. Xbox Series console owners can expect a great streaming experience when pairing their consoles with the X2-4K. The projector can output 1080p @ 240Hz with a 4.2ms response time for the fastest possible player reaction times for the PC gaming audience. It also features an Auto Low Latency Mode [ALLM] that allows users to choose an “Ultra-Fast Input with 1/10th of the delay compared to the average 4K television*.

The projector comes with a short throw lens with an adjustable 0.69-0.83 throw ratio, H/V keystone and 4-corner adjustment capabilities. It has TÜV SÜD's Low Blue Light certification: certified to alleviate concerns of eye damage and discomfort caused by prolonged viewing.
