Get the Most Out of Your LED Videowalls with Vigilant Technology

Published on: April 27, 2022

How long do you think they would consistently perform if you could buy the highest quality of LED videowalls? Whatever answer pops in your head, reduce it by half. While that might seem surprising, unless you focus on factors surrounding your video walls and LED screens, you will only be able to realize half of the value that these display solutions can deliver.

The performance of an LED screen depends on its engineering, design, and manufacturing quality. But, even the most well-engineered and carefully manufactured LED screens can get exposed to issues like:

1. Short circuits and power surges.
2. Overheating
3. Brightness issues or complete blackouts.
4. Dust & moisture

These issues are not limited to just one screen. The more screens you have installed across the market, the more risks you are exposed to. Each second of downtime can cost you and your clients a lot of money. So, what can be the potential solution?

If you could get absolute monitoring, protection, and control rolled up into one solution, would it make your LED screens more productive throughout the media inventory you have booked? If you answered with a resounding 'yes,' you have been looking for XTREME VIGILANT TECHNOLOGY.

Vigilant Tech: Cloud Monitoring for LEDs

Making a central team take care of the LED screens distributed across the region - should sound absurd. You cannot have a small team of engineers and operators shoulder the responsibility of the most critical marketing/operational asset of your business.

If you have chosen to be present in regions where competition does not plan to enter, you cannot let go of this advantage simply because your operations and maintenance team cannot maintain the uptime of your LED screens.

Vigilant Technology solves this problem. It brings each LED asset into a centralized cloud ecosystem, allowing your team to operate with real-time data and the capability to monitor, control & protect your screens remotely.

1. How Does Vigilant Tech Work?

Instead of imagining your screens as LED videowalls, imagine them as blips on Google Map. What if your team could click on each blip and get details about the health status of each LED screen? Moreover, what if your team could get something similar to Google Alerts the moment your LED assets had downtime?

Vigilant Tech achieves this by creating an ecosystem of your LED assets with:

1. Media Player: The media player is an existing and integral part of your critical infrastructure. While this touchpoint is responsible for delivering the media capabilities to the LED screen, it can also be used as the primary source of checking the health of your assets.
2. Smart Power Distribution Unit: The grids spread across India often face volatility in the price and availability of power. You can choose to avoid the price volatility, but the power volatility can destroy even the finest piece of engineering installed within your LED screens.

A smart power distribution unit solves this problem. It provides your team with the necessary power consumption data and can execute automated responses to switch off the screen when there are power outages or surges. If that is not enough, your team can use the available data and take the control into its hands to remotely control the screen.

3. Cloud Platform: The performance data and the power control can provide great value to your media control unit. The cloud platform exponentially increases the potential of monitoring, protection, and control by ensuring you have data, analytics, and intelligence available at your fingertips. Your team can assess both the historical performance of key assets and project the potential issues with other assets in your media network.

2. Get LED Screen Monitoring, Control, and Protection in One Solution.

You might wonder why you need monitoring, control, and protection in one solution. Unfortunately, here is why most industry-standard solutions do not work:

1. On a standalone basis, monitoring will give you the data. However, there will be latency between your data alerts and the meantime to respond to your LED screens.
2. Having just the remote control on the screens will mean nothing if you do not have the granular data to optimize performance for each LED screen across a timeline.
3. Protection capabilities are the bare minimum you need. But, even the finest quality of protection can only protect your LED from somewhat predictable issues.

When you get monitoring, control, and protection in one solution, your team gets empowered with the right data at the right time to understand urgent performance issues. Moreover, your team has the capability to fix the issue remotely. So even if you have a wide network of LED videowalls spread across the market, your team can easily monitor, control, and protect each asset with ease.

Here is how Vigilant Technology delivers the holistic solution spanning all the three parameters:

1. Remote Monitoring: Get automated updates and intelligence.

Vigilant technology empowers your team with intelligence on each display asset and delivers data on current, voltage, power consumption, smoke status, and door status.

2. Protection: Accelerate your Mean time to repair (MTTR) for each LED asset.

Instead of reinventing the wheel with every performance issue, Vigilant Tech leverages its AI capabilities to help you deploy standard protective measures against the most common display asset problems like voltage surge, overcurrent, short circuit, earth leakage, and fault protection, and overheating.

3. Control: Remotely control LED assets.

Vigilant ensures your team can control each LED asset with ease. Instead of spending resources on sending out your team or hiring contractors, you can get on-demand or scheduled turning off without any physical presence near the LED asset.

More Revenues, Visibility, and Efficiency.

Vigilant technology goes beyond monitoring and control. In the hands of proficient operators, it can be used as a solution to scale your business and lower your costs - at the same time.

The underlying technology empowers you to:

1. Reduce the cost of repair and maintenance on each screen with proactive measures.
2. Capture each performance issue with automated updates in real-time.
3. Grow your revenues by increasing the uptime of your media assets and available media inventory.
4. Reduce the cost of your assets by extending the usable life of your LED screens.
5. Seamlessly scale your LED network without investing in additional repair sources.
6. Increase your operations & maintenance team's productivity with a centralized workflow.
7. Maintain screen health data for each asset to forecast performance issues, assess patterns, and provide a reference for each repair case.
