Leyard, a global leader in visualization products and Planar, a Leyard company and global leader in display and digital signage technology, are the recipients of five of the industry’s most prestigious technology honors, NewBay Media’s third annual Best of Show Award, presented at the 2016 National Association of Broadcasters Show (NAB) in Las Vegas by TV Technology, Video Edge, Digital Video, Government Video and Sound & Video Contractor.
The honors were awarded to the highlight of the Leyard and Planar booth, an enormous 8K Leyard® TW Series LED video wall. The massive video wall measures more than 31 feet wide by 18 feet tall (9.5 meters by 5.5 meters) and is composed of 64 Leyard® TWA1.2 LED video wall displays with a 1.2 millimeter pixel pitch, delivering stunning 7680 x 4320 resolution. At a distance of 9 to 12 feet from the video wall, the pixels are indiscernible.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by many of the industry’s independent leading experts at NAB 2016,” said Jennifer Davis, chief marketing officer at Leyard. “We’ve received outstanding feedback at this year’s event for the breathtaking Leyard 8K video wall as just one example of our innovative display solutions. As established leaders in the broadcast market, Leyard strives to design display solutions that help the media and entertainment industry deliver an unprecedented level of compelling content to viewers.”
The Leyard TW Series is a line of fine pitch LED video walls available in 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 millimeters pitches. The Leyard TW Series is architected to support the highest pixel density and delivers benefits unique to its “flat panel” design including a 16:9 form factor optimized for the most popular high resolution standards, ease of installation and service, and outstanding flatness and uniformity.
