Vision HB Dual

Behind glass the image competes with daylight and with reflections on the pane. A regular indoor panel runs at roughly 300 nits and looks washed out from the street when the sun hits. High-brightness displays start much higher: the SMARTENIC Vision HB and the street side of the double-sided Vision HB Dual deliver 3,000 nits, and a light sensor adjusts brightness to the ambient light.

High-brightness describes panels built for environments with a lot of ambient light. Luminance is measured in nits (candela per square metre). For context: indoor displays sit at roughly 300 nits. The SMARTENIC Vision HB reaches 3,000 nits; the Vision HB Dual reaches 3,000 nits on the street side and 700 nits on the side facing the sales floor.

Technically yes, sensibly usually not. An indoor panel at roughly 300 nits is hard to make out from the street in daylight — which is exactly when people walk past. A shop window display therefore works at a higher luminance. If you only play content in the evening and the window faces away from the sun, an indoor display can do; with sun on the glass it cannot.

The SMARTENIC Vision HB is single-sided: one picture facing the street at 3,000 nits, cooled by temperature-controlled fans. The SMARTENIC Vision HB Dual has two screens back to back — 3,000 nits towards the street, 700 nits towards the sales floor — and is built fanless. Two built-in Android players show the same content on both sides in sync, or separate programmes independently. Both models come in 32, 43, 49, 55 and 65 inches in Full HD, without touch.

No, as long as it hangs indoors behind the pane. The SMARTENIC Vision HB and Vision HB Dual are indoor devices and therefore carry no IP protection rating. As soon as the display sits on the outside of the facade, under a canopy or in an open-sided passage, it needs a weatherproof enclosure — that is what the outdoor range with IP65 is for.

Both models hang behind the glass, and a ceiling bracket is included — on the Vision HB Dual with adjustable length. You need a load-bearing ceiling or sub-structure and a socket within reach. In the standard version content goes onto the device via USB stick; the network version with LAN or Wi-Fi is managed remotely through a cloud CMS. That way window campaigns change without anyone swapping printed posters.

Price on request. The cost drivers are: diagonal, single- or double-sided, standard or network version, quantity, plus mounting, electrical connection, CMS licence and the agreed service scope. One screen in a single branch is costed differently from a window line with several units. Tell us the window size and orientation and we will give you the price.
