How does the folding mechanism work?
The Canvas features a hinged die-cast aluminum cabinet that folds in half along its length. When folded, the display is approximately 25" × 38" — half the deployed height. The folding mechanism is robust and designed for repeated use without affecting display quality.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
No. The Canvas P2.5 is an indoor display rated for climate-controlled environments. For outdoor applications, contact us about outdoor-rated LED poster options.
What content format should I use?
The native resolution is 256 × 768 pixels (portrait orientation). Most video formats are supported through your media player. For best results, create or export content at this exact resolution to avoid scaling artifacts.
How bright is 800 nits?
800 nits is well-suited for indoor environments including brightly-lit retail spaces, lobbies, and trade show floors. It's significantly brighter than a typical TV or monitor, ensuring your content stands out.
What's the viewing distance?
With P2.5 pixel pitch, the optimal viewing distance starts at approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters). Closer viewing is possible but individual pixels may become visible. For very close viewing applications, consider a finer pixel pitch display.
How heavy is it?
The Canvas weighs 108 lbs (49 kg). While substantial, the foldable design makes it more manageable for transport. Plan for two people or a cart when moving the unit.
What's included for mounting?
Mounting hardware varies by installation type. The Canvas can be floor-standing, wall-mounted, or hung from truss. Contact us for mounting solutions specific to your application.
Content Creation
Design content specifically for the 256 × 768 portrait format. Vertical video, tall graphics, and portrait-oriented social media content work naturally. Avoid simply rotating horizontal content — create purpose-built visuals for maximum impact.
Brightness Adjustment
The 800 nit brightness is ideal for most indoor environments. In darker spaces (bars, theaters, worship spaces), consider reducing brightness for viewer comfort and to extend LED lifespan.
Transport & Storage
Always fold The Canvas for transport. The folded position protects the LED modules and reduces the risk of damage. Store in a climate-controlled environment away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
Viewing Distance Planning
P2.5 pixel pitch means optimal viewing starts around 8 feet. Position The Canvas where your audience will naturally view from this distance or farther. For closer viewing applications, consider tighter pixel pitch options.
Content Scheduling
Use your media player's scheduling features to rotate content throughout the day. Morning promotions, afternoon entertainment, evening ambiance — dynamic scheduling keeps your display fresh and engaging.
Maintenance
LEDs are low-maintenance, but periodically check connections and clean the display surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners. The die-cast aluminum cabinet is durable but should be protected from impacts during transport.
