Leyard Europe’s MGP Series was chosen to create a huge 20m metre LED video wall, for the HQ of Locinox, an international leader in the gate and fence industry, producing a wide range of gate hardware, gate closers, and access control solutions. The wall is designed to provide a “wow factor” at the company’s brand-new Locinox 4.0 ‘smart factory’, in the Waregem-South industrial zone of Belgium.
Alongside integrators Play AV, the Locinox team chose Leyard Europe’s ‘high-impact’ MGP Series to create the wall, which is visible from the moment anyone enters the building. The MGP Series can provide 4K content and has been installed floating between two floors of the building whilst being integrated within its construction and finishing.
The 10×10 panel MGP 1.8mm pixel pitch LED video wall is designed to welcome guests and also serves multiple uses for staff. The inclusion of invisible audio support means the screen can work hard all day, but with a few clicks, can also provide entertainment after hours. The company has already hosted sports screenings and used the video wall during parties.
Play AV supplied equipment for the entire office build. The installation included video conferencing in the offices and audio solutions that continue throughout the whole building, including restrooms and the bistro. But it was the wow factor of the entrance hall that really made an impression.
Joseph Jr Talpe, sourcing manager at Locinox, explained: “When planning its brand-new facility, Loconox 4.0 in Belgium, a key consideration was for the entrance hall to have a wow factor. We chose LED technology because of its impressive size, combined with excellent image quality. It’s also very easy to manage content on the screen, or switch to presentation mode.”
Time was a key factor in completion of the project. The company had hard deadlines for moving staff into its new home, and the MGP Series being manufactured in Europe helped with reduced transportation times and costs.
Cris Tanghe, territory head, Benelux, concluded: “We’re delighted to see that Leyard Europe products have made such a difference to this innovative and exciting building. Knowing that the video wall has such an impactful role to play is very gratifying, especially when hearing of the positivity from staff and clients.”
