Expanding the Praevar's Podium Series for Outdoor Applications

Praevar Corporation announced the expansion of its Podium Series, introducing two new display technologies: Podium dvLED and the Podium eLuminex ePoster powered by E Ink Kaleido 3 technology. These additions join the company's established Podium DS and Podium High-Brightness Low-Power LCD models, creating a comprehensive outdoor display platform that enables customers to choose the technology best suited to their application while leveraging the same rugged, field-proven enclosure.

Designed for 24/7 operation in temperatu dvLED and the Podium eLuminex ePoster powered by E Ink Kaleido 3 technology. These ares from -30°C to +50°C, the Podium Series serves digital out-of-home advertising (DOOH), transit, retail media, smart city infrastructure, campuses, and public information environments. Every Podium display incorporates Praevar's outdoor environmental management system, including direct air cooling, sensor-driven thermal control, and two-stage filtration for dependable performance in challenging outdoor conditions.

Podium DS

The proven outdoor LCD platform, available in Digital/Digital and Digital/Static configurations, provides flexible deployment for transit shelters, street furniture, and DOOH advertising. Available in 65", 75", and 86" portrait formats with 4K resolution, Podium DS delivers reliable 24/7 performance with commercial-grade durability and multiple installation options.

Podium High-Brightness Low-Power LCD

Designed for locations where maximum visibility is essential, this model delivers 4,000 nits of brightness and 4K Ultra HD resolution while consuming up to 35% less power than traditional high-brightness outdoor displays.

Powered by Praevar's proprietary High-Brightness Low-Power LCM, the display combines an advanced optical stack, intelligent backlight architecture, and Dynamic Dimming technology with Full Array Local Dimming to optimize brightness, contrast, and energy consumption in real time. The result is exceptional sunlight readability, deeper blacks, improved image quality, and significantly lower operating costs for large display networks.

Extending the Life of Existing Networks

The expanded Podium Series also supports Praevar's Podium Midlife Extension Program, enabling operators to upgrade existing Podium installations with the latest LCD, Direct View LED, or ePaper technologies while retaining the original enclosure. This approach reduces capital investment, minimizes installation disruption, lowers electronic waste, and extends the operational life of existing infrastructure.

"Outdoor digital signage continues to evolve, and customers need the flexibility to choose the right display technology for every application," said Ralph Idems, CEO of Praevar Corporation. "By expanding the Podium platform with Direct View LED and E Ink Kaleido™ 3 ePaper, alongside our other proven Podium models, we're giving customers more choice while maintaining the reliability, serviceability, low total cost of ownership, and energy-efficient outdoor display solutions for digital out-of-home advertising and smart city infrastructure."
