Daktronics PST-10 Modular Display Panel

Daktronics’ latest addition to the PST product line, the PST-10 modular display panel, takes the cabinet design of the PST series and fuses it with Daktronics MAG-10 technology, an indoor/outdoor display module that uses three-in-one black-stamped light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for improved viewing quality from shorter distances. The PST-10, designed for rental and staging applications, combines the pixel pitch of indoor SMD displays outdoors with the weather resistance and brightness of outdoor through-hole LED products. Protected at an IP-66 environmental rating, the panels shield the LEDs from the elements and use a dark display face for an improved picture. The PST-10 panels can be combined together in a variety of shapes and sizes. They also feature 12 removable MAG-10 modules for design flexibility. Customers can also adjust brightness and color on site. The PST-10 panels join Daktronics’ PST-10i, PST-13, PST-12HD and PST-23 modular display panel line.

Let’s Put A Smile On That Face

Buenos Dias Todos,

                         Well my Spanish isn’t quite where I’d like it to be but it is good enough to strike up small talk with some of the Mexican crew and band members I have been working with on the Marco Antonio Solis U.S. tour. Most do speak alright English and the ones who don’t speak too quickly to me so my brain won’t spin. So at the end of the day the communication barrier I once thought was going to be hard to break was quite simple to step through if you’re willing to try.
