24/7 SLIM-DEPTH DISPLAY CUBES FOR EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

 

 Mitsubishi Electric Display Walls meet the demanding needs of today's modern traffic management center with the introduction of the VS-60HS12U slim-depth rear-projection cubes that not only occupies about half the foot print of conventional rear-projection displays at only 20" deep, but are also amazingly budget-friendly.  Unlike LCD panels, the Mitsubishi Slim Cubes are designed to operate and run 24/7 with no screen degradation, thus minimal or no downtime, making its cost of operations and ownership more efficient than LCD panels.  With each 60" diagonal display cube with full-HD resolution, Mitsubishi slim cubes with virtually seamless bezels let you configure your display wall to meet your display and visualization requirement exactly.  

Visit http://me-vis.com/products/vs-60hs12U/ for more information or schedule a demo.   Also feel free to download our white papers to see how a Mitsubishi video wall can greatly enhance your traffic management process.
