From concept to commissioning, AV LED wall system design is evolving to support industrial scale projects with fewer risks and faster execution.
Designing large scale LED video walls remains a complex process involving multiple technical decisions, component compatibility checks, and coordination between design and installation teams. Errors at the configuration stage can lead to mismatched components, inaccurate cost estimates, and installation challenges, increasing both project timelines and risk for customers and integrators.
PPDS unveiled the Philips LED Configurator, an online platform designed to simplify and standardise the design and planning of direct view LED video wall projects for professional AV applications.
The platform enables users to create and visualise complete LED wall solutions by selecting panel types and defining parameters such as size, pixel pitch, brightness, and refresh rates. It also incorporates supporting components such as mounts, brackets, control boxes, cables, sensors, and finishing elements into the same workflow. By presenting the full system visually and technically before ordering, the tool aims to reduce design inaccuracies and compatibility issues while supporting smoother project execution. The platform is available globally, with configurations tailored to local markets, and provides a consolidated view of system components and associated costs as part of an overall project package.
Key features of the display include:
- Online visualisation of complete indoor and outdoor dvLED wall designs
- Selection of display panels with detailed technical parameters
- Integration of mounts, brackets, control boxes, cables, sensors, and finishing components
- Optional ready to order system configurations with verified compatibility
- Market specific pricing and project cost visibility
- Access for partners and customers with a standard version available via the company website
By consolidating LED wall design, component selection, and project planning into a single environment, the platform addresses long standing challenges around accuracy, compatibility, and workflow efficiency in professional AV installations. Reflecting on the intent behind the tool,
Marco van der Knaap, Head of Strategy and Transformation Philips dvLED at PPDS, said, “With the Philips LED Configurator, you can create your complete solution in a single location and then visualise it perfectly on screen, providing everything required for planning an installation and ensuring project ambitions are much faster and as hassle free as possible.”
