Indoor or Outdoor Application
LED displays are specifically designed for either indoor or outdoor use. Two main factors determine whether a display can be used indoors or outdoors. The first factor is weather durability. Outdoor displays are designed to work in extreme weather conditions while indoor displays are not built to stand up to the same environmental factors. Second, outdoor displays use different LEDs than indoor displays. The LEDs used for outdoor displays are brighter to account for the varying lighting conditions. Indoor displays do not have the same concerns and subsequently are not as bright. Electro-Matic's Hyperion line of LED displays features outdoor displays and 4U2SEE are for indoor use.

Message Content

Your communication needs may factor into your decision of which Hyperion Display is right for your application.
Evaluate how you plan to use the sign by asking yourself questions like:

• Is color needed in the messages or is monochrome sufficient?
• Will the display show graphics as well as text?
• Will the display show video images?
• How many lines of copy will you want displayed at one time?
• What type of messages will be communicated to the intended audience?

The answers to these questions will help you make your choice. They also reflect decisions that can increase or decrease the cost of your LED display. For example, a full color display is more expensive than a monochrome display.

Communication Method
There are many different ways to communicate with your LED display. Understanding the requirements of the display in this regard will help in choosing the right technology for your application. Some installations may have specific requirements.
A complete list of options available can be found on page 9. Speak with a Hyperion dealer or sales representative to find out which option will work best for you.

Location of viewing audience
The distance between your sign and its viewers is the key factor in determining the best LED sign for your application. Consider two things about why it is crucial to choose a display based on where it will be located in relations to its audience. First, the distance from the viewer to the display will affect the minimum and maximum viewing distances. Second, the viewing distance also impacts the resolution or pitch.
