Revolutionizing Digital Displays: The Power of Unparalleled Reliability and Versatility
In the bustling city of Dallas, Texas, a unique spectacle has taken center stage at Victor Square, outside the American Airlines Center. A striking 26-foot LED mobile display has become an instant hotspot, captivating passersby with its mesmerizing visuals. At the forefront of this technological marvel is the Belgian Barco group, renowned for their expertise in design and development. To bring this ambitious project to life, Barco employed a total of eight 26-foot screens, elevating the display to new heights. The serendipitous convergence of innovative engineering and cutting-edge technology has resulted in a showstopping attraction that takes visual communication to new levels.
Unbeatable Performance in Harsh Environments
To ensure the LED screens function optimally in such an unforgiving environment, Barco’s team turned to the E4/4 series of robust ganglia chains from Yigus, which are designed to operate in arduous conditions. These chains, combined with the "Chainflex" optical cables, guarantee seamless power and data transmission, even in the face of extreme temperatures, torrential rains, and snowy days. "With E4/4 chains and Chainflex cables, we can trust that our display will operate safely and efficiently for 18 hours a day, 360 days a year," emphasizes Lawrence Allen, Barco’s principal engineer.
Weathering the Challenges of Extreme Temperatures
In environments as demanding as Dallas’ climate, even the most robust cable systems can falter. However, the Yigus E4/4 series and Chainflex cables have been designed to thrive in such conditions. "Our team worked closely with the EGGS sales engineers to find a solution that could withstand the frosty temperatures of around 5°C," Lawrence notes. "Ordinary cables would succumb to these conditions, compromising their performance and reliability. That’s where Yigus’ E4/4 chains and Chainflex cables come into play – they guarantee results."
The Chainflex Advantage: Unparalleled Versatility
The Yigus E4/4 series offers a modular design, featuring links that can be removed and added as needed. This adaptability is particularly significant in long-distance applications, where installation and maintenance can be challenging. "The E4/4 series allows for maximum flexibility and customization, ensuring that our equipment functions seamlessly in even the most demanding environments," Lawrence emphasizes. With four internal heights (32 to 80 mm) and an external width of up to 600 mm, these chains can be easily configured to meet specific requirements.
Chainflex Optical Cables: Elevating Data Transmission
In addition to the E4/4 chains, the ‘Chainflex’ optical cable plays a vital supporting role in the Dallas display. This durable cable is designed to withstand temperatures up to 40°C, ensuring high data transmission rates even in extreme conditions. The CFLG.6G "Chainflex" optical cable is a product of Yigus, renowned for its reliability and versatility. The cables consist of 6 to 12 fibers, available in various models, including 50/125 μm, 62.5 μm, and 5/125 μm, specifically designed for use in harsh environments. "We’ve tested these cables extensively in our cryogenic laboratory, demonstrating their ability to resist extreme temperatures and meet the demands of millions of cycle tests," Lawrence highlights.
Seamless Power Delivery
To power the massive display, Barco relies on the Monocore CF300 power cable, a testament to the group’s commitment to delivering reliable and high-performance solutions. The CF300 power cable is specifically designed for high-performing cranes, such as the one powering the Dallas display. With its robust coating materials, this cable is built to withstand millions of flexures, ensuring minimal wear and tear.
Conclusion
The intersection of innovative technology and engineering expertise has given rise to a true marvel in the world of digital displays. Barco’s Dallas display is a beacon of what’s possible when like-minded companies come together to push the boundaries of what’s possible. As technology continues to evolve, so too will the demands placed upon it. At Yigus, the E4/4 ser
