This solution for LED walls was designed based on customer feedback and real-world project needs. The design of power distribution for LED walls is often underestimated or misunderstood, even though it offers significant operational benefits and resource optimization. NETIO offers a system of LED wall focused products that enables flexibl usage and quick deployment. This modular solution consists of certified devices that can be used individually or combined into a centrally managed MultiPDU system.
Benefits
RELIABLE SWITCH ON IN EVERY SITUATION
All devices connected to the MultiPDU system are managed from a central unit, allowing outputs to be grouped and sequenced. The delay defined by this sequence is applied every time the outputs are powered on. This ensures a reliable restart – especially after a power outage – preventing circuit breakers from tripping due to high inrush current.
REDUCED OPERATIONAL COSTS
Remote power management in LED wall installations and digital signage can significantly reduce operational costs. LED walls do not necessarily need to be powered on 24/7; planned switch-off periods at night can yield significant energy savings. Additionally, remote management capabilities allow operators to restart the system remotely when issues arise. This resolves the majority of problems without requiring a site visit, which is often a full-day task.
SINGLE POINT OF CONTROL
The Group feature allows you to assign multiple outputs to a single group, which then functions as a unified output. The PDU automatically manages the entire sequence needed for a reliable power-up. This Group control function is accessible via the device web interface, NETIO Cloud, weekly scheduler, Open API, and AV drivers, as well as through Rules & Conditions triggered by a Digital Input (DI).
LOWER POWER REDUNDANCY
NETIO’s Zero Current Switching (ZCS) technology reduces inrush current peaks, enabling more efficient utilization of the available input power capacity.
Media Agency Usecase
A retail in-store media operator runs LED walls and media players across a supermarket chain. Intelligent PDUs enable scheduled power OFF of LED walls outside opening hours and remote restart of frozen playback devices, reducing energy waste and service costs with clear and measurable ROI.
ASSUMTIONS: Parameter
50 supermarkets (100 m² LED wall per store)
Closed time: 10 hours per day
Idle consumption: 3 kW per store
Electricity price: €0.25/kWh
PDU cost per store: €4,000
