MIDAS Stretched is an ultra-wide outdoor display, designed to operate in direct sunlight and the harshest weather conditions, as well as the high shock and vibration environment in which they could be located. These displays are being deployed on platforms to provide passengers with up to the minute status of scheduled stops, local news, time and weather, emergency notifications and additional information to enhance the rider’s experience. Included in each display is an embedded PC system that monitors the health and well-being of the display and which communicates directly with the content network management system and power protection devices. All MIDAS displays come with G+Bond enhanced optical bonding to provide the sharpest video images, to guard against vandalism and to provide greater safety in case the front glass is broken. This also prevents any dust accumulation or condensation on the LCD. The single and dual display mounting systems have been designed for ease of installation and servicing.
