Why pick a SMD display

SMD is a Surface-Mount Diode. This display series employs 3-in-1 RGB diodes. For protection and surface smoothness, an SMD is surrounded by a mask.

With high-refresh ICs, they can support refresh rates from 3840Hz up to 7860Hz. Fed by the latest Novastar receiving card options and features, SMD-series products can be shot on camera without visible scanlines, can be used for ultra-high-brightness outdoor applications, and can support full-color calibration.

Also SMD technology has been in development for a long time, these product series benefit from a rich history of field operation and study, and allow us to offer a wide array of SMD solutions for an incredible amount of applications.

Beautifully Bright

High-brightness diode development allowed for displays that look great in direct sunlight

Simple Design

Cabling and connection failures led to robust all-in-one connectors and redundant data designs

Efficient

Energy-efficiency needs led to better power distribution designs

Customizable

Touring needs led to new alloy development for cabinet construction

Do I need an SMD or COB display?

The following priorities frequently point to SMD as the best LED system for your project:

Use Cases

Clients making the investment in commercial signage, entertainment display arrays, and the infinite amount of other uses for LED displays all want the same thing- for their investment to last. These long-lifespan demands led to our partner development of 120,000-140,000+ hour diode and power supply lifespans before noticeable brightness and color degradation appears.

FAQ

ask us anything

Are SMDs good indoor and outdoor?

SMDs are versatile and some systems are better suited for specific environments. To help you decide if SMD is right for you, we discuss possibilities like IP rated cabinets, modules, and diodes, and look at the minimum brightness levels needed.

Does environmental brightness matter?

Even outdoor, direct sunlight conditions can be overcome with the latest high-brightness diode technology.

Will it need to be water-resistant?

All outdoor series are water-resistant and can be installed just about anywhere. Water-resistance is available at pixel pitches from 2.8mm and up.

Does it need to be impact-rated?

Our SMD lineup is often chosen when budget is a priority, and is a better choice if the display will not run the risk of physical impact or damage. Our COB lineup is water and front-impact rated, but at a higher premium.

Will it need to be touch-compatible?

Current COB series tech allows for large-format video walls to be directly interactive through touch control.

Are there size constraints?

Because LED display hardware itself is fully modular, many of our products can be placed, fit, shaped, or otherwise adapted to unique architectural needs.

Will it be permanently installed?

Tour-grade and rental LED display systems must include road casing, and cabinets are made of lighter magnesium and aluminum alloys to allow for easier mobility and faster setup, at the trade of a higher cost.

Is cost or performance priority?

One of the most important questions, and will help guide our engineers and account executives to suggesting the perfect series for you- the first time.

Do you need a new AV environment?

All of our display series can be integrated into existing networking and audio/video environments in many ways, and can be controlled via Crestron, Control4, Q-SYS, and SAVI- just to name a few of the most common control environments used with Visiontech systems.

Visiontech SMD Projects

When longevity, customization, and affordability is a must, the versatility of an SMD display is paramount

Big Shots Golf

This 16’ wide, wall-mounted display allows golf entertainment seekers a chance to view the display from most places in their impressive facility. Because the system is viewed from a distance, and is mounted high on the wall away from foot traffic, the VT-Evo SMD series was the perfect choice to meet big-scale needs with budget-friendly numbers.

Harvest International Church

When designing their new sanctuary, they wanted their congregation- both near and far- to see their message with unequaled clarity and creativity. Designed to hang from a goalpost trusswork configuration, Visiontech engineers worked with their leadership team to design a very unique, large-format portrait stage backdrop display, capable of being shot from multiple camera angles at a time without showing refresh lines or Moire effect issues.
