Harnessing Fiber Optics for
Ultra-high-resolution Signage
By John W. DeWitt
 New digital signage and related AV technologies are
harnessing more and more of the theoretically unlimited bandwidth of
the
fiber-optic transport medium. This gives application architects,
integrators, and users the opportunity to power large, extremely
high-resolution displays—including 1920x1200p HD
progressive—using limited or no compression. Notable examples,
employing fiber-optic technology from Emcore, include FreshDirect's
5850-square-foot outdoor Lighthouse LED display in New York City as
well
as numerous theaters, projectors, and digital signs deployed at the
Freedom Forum's interactive Newseum in Washington, D.C. more>>
