The MultiSync LCD4610 and LCD4010 displays will provide dynamic digital signage capabilities to the passenger check­in/service counters and baggage reclaim areas. Pearson Airport, which flies an average of 78,000 passengers and handles over a half­a­million tons of cargo daily, has embarked on a comprehensive redevelopment and expansion of T3. Installing new technologies and upgrading out­of­date flight and baggage information displays are an integral part of the expansion project, which is part of the overall airport development plan. "The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) needed a solution that could not only withstand long hours of use, they needed displays that could perform under sometimes difficult operational conditions," said Phil Jackson, Sr. Project Manager for Black & McDonald Limited, the procurement and installation contractor for the Flight Information Display System at Pearson Airport. "The NEC LCD displays were selected from a list of numerous providers who tendered the project based on their meeting the strict specifications required by an international airport terminal that operates 24/7 365 days per year." Designed to withstand the demands of long­term operation, the NEC LCD large­screen displays have the highest image contrast and brightness quality on the market. The NEC MultiSync LCD4610 and LCD4010 monitors feature significantly improved visibility and wide­angle viewing in high ambient light environments. "The NEC large­screen displays offer the most technologically advanced functionality in the industry making them an ideal solution for airport information applications," said Hans Baumann, Senior Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. "Because the technology suite features higher power efficiency, lower internal temperature sensors and greater brightness control, it delivers a longer product life and a lower total cost of ownership."
