Pulling apart a Digital Signage Stand

digital signage stands are now becoming more popular and last week we had the opportunity to open our 42″ LCD advertise me stand so I thought I’d blog about it. Firstly, let’s look at the enclosure of the stand. The outer shell of the enclosure is made out of black aluminum and inner shell is made out of iron. There is also a 6mm tampered glass at the front of the enclosure and this makes is look very professional. The only bad thing is the reflection. Here’s a few pictures of the stand showing our Advertise Me desktop image:

There are three components at back of the stand:

1. one is to access the back of the screen which includes the system boards and speakers

2. a small panel to access the network port, CF card and USB port

3. bottom of the panel to access the run the network cable

By removing several screws, and two pins on the power switch you can then remove the LCD screen from the enclosure.

Putting the screen back into the stand was quite straight forward and didn’t take that long. In one of the future posts we’ll show you how easy it is to manage the stand. If you need a digital signage stand or even a quote for your project let us know.

DVI to Analogue

In one of our previous posts titled, “Using a DVI to VGA converter with a VGA CAT5E or CAT6 extenders, does this work?” we talked about using a DVI to VGA converter and one of our readers mentioned to ensure you use a DVI-A instead of a DVI-D adaptor.

Funnily enough, one of our clients encountered an issue regarding this. The client wanted to convert the DVI cable to VGA so that they can connect a PC to a KVM switch which only had a VGA connector. So they purchased a DVI to VGA convertor and when they tried connecting the convertor to the DVI cable it wouldn’t fit. Upon inspecting the cable and connector here’s what I saw:

So basically, the top connector was the DVI cable, which has the DVI-D pinout (dual uplink) and the bottom is the DVI to VGA converter which has the DVI-A pinout. If you tried connecting these two it would not work. The pinouts on the DVI-A has an additional 4 pins at each corner as shown here:

Guess what the outcome was?

Feel free to submit your answer as a comment.
