Read More »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.
