Vision Sign Selected for McCarran Samsung Video Wall

Samsung will provide McCarran Intl. Airport in Las Vegas with 130, 46-in., LCD display screens that will be engineered to create four separate video walls at the nation’s seventh-busiest airport. Vision Sign (Las Vegas) will design the structural framework for the walls, and engineer, fabricate and install all components.
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Samsung, the airport and Alliance Airport Advertising on this new project. We’ve worked with Alliance on many custom build-outs in the past. This one has been challenging in that it is the first of its kind. Nowhere else has something of this magnitude been built in an airport environment,” stated Bob Failing, Vision Sign’s executive account director.
The panoramic video displays will take shape later this year. The largest display will be installed at McCarran’s D Concourse rotunda.
According to Samsung officials, the 33 x 19-ft., 100-screen, tiled formation will be the largest in a U.S. airport. An ultra-thin frame around each monitor gives the appearance that the tiled formation is one solid piece. Three smaller video walls will be installed in the A, B and C Concourses, with the displays measuring either 2 x 12 ft. or 4 x 16 ft.
Alliance Airport Advertising, which manages all of the airport’s advertising contracts, is largely responsible for solidifying the McCarran-Samsung partnership and selecting the subcontractors that will work on the project.
Shauna Forsythe, Alliance president, said Vision will utilize custom mounting brackets from Premier Mounts. OSSI was selected to operate the customized system using CineMassive’s software.
