Advertising Kiosk Agency - Music Festivals IrelandFor the first time, those going to Electric Picnic can leave their cash at home, thanks to the #EPonTap  partnership between AIB, Electric Picnic and Visa.

Festival goers will be able to make quick and easy contactless payments at all the festival’s bars, and at many of food vendors and merchandise stalls too.

Group Brands Director at AIB, Mark Doyle, said “the EPonTap campaign will help customer spend less time managing cash and more time doing what they love. To help drive adoption of cash-free payments, AIB will bring the contactless theme to life via interactive ticket giveaways pre-festival, and a dating-themed contactless experience at the festival itself.”

Kim Menen, CEO of Aqualite Outdoor, said, ” We were thrilled to be asked by the AIB to take part in the EPonTap campaign this year. Our IP66 rated touch display screens are ideal for the very harshest environments and will perform brilliantly during the inevitable downpours that festival goers have to cope with.

Outdoor TV Screenings Of Football, Music & Sports Events

Big Outdoor TV Screens For Football, Music & Sports Events

With the World Cup football just around the corner, stories are already circulating about an anticipated supply shortage of weatherproof screens for  pubs, clubs and hotels hoping to attract customers with the lure of big screen World Cup football match coverage. The scale of the business opportunity for AV resellers and installers over the summer of 2018 shouldn’t be underestimated.

Electronic Digital Notice Boards

The hospitality sector has been hit by both a combination of poor trading conditions and the bad weather. The summer is the time to claw it back, and an outdoor screen will provide an additional attraction to punters and turns unproductive outdoor spaces into revenue generators.

While the World Cup provides the key attraction, there is also tennis, golf, horse racing and other crowd pulling events.

To pub landlords and bar owners who are looking to boost profits this summer the economics are fairly straightforward

A moderately busy town or city pub can turn- over £2,000 to £3,000 in an hour. By extending the busy period, through providing entertainment, and increasing the capacity of the premises, by making an outdoor space productive, the ROI on an outdoor screen is pretty impressive.

Waterproof and Weather Proof TV Screens For Pubs, Bars & Hotels

When designing an TV display screen for outdoor use there are essentially two problems: (1) bad weather, and (2) good weather.

Hooters Phuket - Aqualite Outdoor TV

Some vendors have tried to get around the problem of bad weather by installing standard commercial screens in a sealed cabinet. While this is fine in an outdoor advertising context it doesn’t provide an ideal solution for outdoor entertainment. The cabinets are bulky and can restrict the viewing angle. In contrast a display designed specifically for outdoor applications looks almost as slim and stylish as its indoor equivalent, and yet offers a similar level of protection to a cabinet. The new AquaLite range is encased in metal. Wiring and controls largely concealed and the LCD panel protected with 6 mm toughened glass.

The AquaLite range is rated at IP66, which is currently the best available for an outdoor LCD screen and indicates total protection against dust and temporary flooding by water. This means that the screen should withstand anything that the British summer will throw at it in terms of bad weather.

But in some respects, good weather can present equally difficult operating conditions for an outdoor LCD display. The important considerations here are glare, ambient light and heat.

All AquaLite screens, whether LED backlit or standard, are fit- ted with anti-reflective glass to filter out the worst of the sun’s light. While this is effective up to a point, the additional brightness achieved with the LED backlighting is the best defence against strong ambient light.

When compared with its direct competitors, the AquaLite is the only offering to offer the combination of 1500 candelas of brightness and Full HD. Where conditions don’t demand full power, the brightness can be adjusted by the user, delivering a high quality image with lower power consumption. While the additional brightness available from the LED backlit model commands a premium over the standard fluorescent AquaLite range, it can make a difference between viewers enjoying the game or sidling off home to watch it there.

Outdoor TV Screen Specifications

With the increasing variety of outdoor applications in mind, AquaLite LED backlit range is available in 26” 32” 42” 55” 65” 70” 82”, 100” & 136” screen sizes

The screens are all Full HD, and as such can be used for movies and promotional videos as well as sports. Text display is very legible, offering the potential to use the displays in transport and other text or numeric data applications.

All of the models in the range feature a built-in analogue and digital tuner for accessing broadcast content.

There is also an SD card slot for digital signage applica- tions, and further models are planned with a slot for a PC card for signage applications. With the toughened glass pro- tective screen extending beyond the LCD panel,

AquaLite can overprint the surround with a corporate livery for a pub chain or a hotel group, for example.

‘We strive to make PalmerSport better every year, and the big enhancement for 2014 is the introduction of live timing on all of our circuit based activities. For the first time, drivers will be able to compare performances with friends and colleagues as the day progresses, with screens streaming real-time data of everyone’s lap times at each of our tracks, F1 style!’

‘The fun of light hearted competition is a hugely popular and a unique element of the day at PalmerSport. Guests are scored on a number of activities, with prizes awarded at the end of the event to the best drivers. Keeping drivers informed and updated on the competition helps to generate even more excitement. The Aqualite range of outdoor display screens are ideal as they are fully waterproof and weatherproof,’ said Kim Menen of Aqualite Outdoor.

‘Aqualite Outdoor TVs are coated with an anti glare film to reduce glare and reflection from the screen in outdoor locations. By further enhancing the brightness and contrast levels of the TV display screen, the use of this anti reflective coating ensures that lap times, current rankings and other important information is fully visible and fully readable by drivers at all speeds and in all weather conditions,’ he continued.
