ROE Visual has developed a ballast calculator to help adding the right amount of ballast on stacked LED screens.
For ROE Visual it’s of paramount importance that its customers can build LED walls safely. “Creating awareness on safe working practices is one thing, we frequently touch on these issues in the ROE Academy training sessions, but with this simple calculating tool we actually help the AV technicians making their job simpler and safer”, comments Luc Neyt, deputy director sales and service centre.
Available in six languages, the ROE Visual Ballast Calculator offers ballast information for a broad range of ROE Visual LED panel types, such as the Carbon series, Black Onyx, Black Pearl and Sapphire, but also the newly added panels Vanish V8 and Ruby.
When users enter the panel type, the required size of videowall, the amount of stacking rear trusses used, the amount of ballast needed will be automatically calculated. All available types of stacking system are added to the ballast calculator.
“The calculator works fairly simple, but it’s the complex calculations, testing and structural analysis that are behind the results that are the true worth of this Ballast Calculator. No other LED manufacturer has put so much effort and attention to these vital details. In the end it makes all the difference as to why working with our products is so easy and safe” adds Greg Hu, product director for ROE Visual.
The ROE Visual calculator is only valid in indoor situations and cannot be used for outdoor conditions.
Although the results are based on an in-depth structural analysis, the Ballast Calculator can never replace a structural calculation, in some cases this might be required by the local authorities.
At the moment ROE Visual is working hard to extend the Ballast Calculator with calculations for the Air Frame.
