Tech info:
Our trucks have on-board generators to power the screens. There is a built in sound system – perfect for movies and making announcements.
Monster can take:
HDMI, DVI, VGA, DP, Composite, SDI
ARTWORK dimensions for BOB (single sided truck)
1280×512 px – 22×9 shape
910×512 px – 16×9 shape
370×512 px – rest of space (could be side or whatever) The sign will automatically scale the input – so a feed can be just full size.
With Scaling, 16×9 stuff looks good without a “sidebar”
You can use the space however you want – I use a 16/9 size and then “the rest” because it is easier to make videos.
We can take most types of files
All standard graphic files will work
Jpegs are best – if I get them early enough I will change them to what I need.
The truck can also do video and, there is an onboard sound system!
If you are going to give me videos to load into the sign, the sign likes MP4 the best (it will take all the standards except Itunes video)
Powerpoint can be used but we will need an editable version.
ARTWORK Dimensions for Max (3 sided truck)
910×512 px – 16×9 shape for the sides
512×512 px – 9×9 shape for the rear sign
Creating Artwork for the Screens
When creating stuff, remember it is a billboard so text should be BIG and as BRIEF as possible. The 6 word billboard rule can be used here. Lot of the time , people will be viewing the screen from 100 feet or more away..
I tell people to make the art, put it on their screen and go to the back of the room. If you can read it and looks good from 10 feet away you should be ok.
Plain and hard to read
Fancy and easy to read
