After meeting with our sales team, whether in Luxembourg or Belgium, you will receive a detailed price quote for your LED screen project. This quote typically consists of three parts: the cost of the LED screen itself, the costs associated with the content management system, and finally, the costs related to installation, framing, and delivery. Here is a guide to help you better understand each component of the quote.
1. LED screen budgeting: Cost based on surface area and components
An LED screen consists of several boxes (also called offices Or slabs), which, once assembled, form the final screen where your content (images, videos, etc.) will be displayed. The cost of the LED screen is generally calculated based on the total area. For example, for a 3000mm x 2000mm screen, which requires 24 500mm x 500mm (6x4) light boxes, the total surface area will be 6m². The price is then expressed in €/m², multiplied by the total number of square meters.
How is the price per square meter defined?
The price per square meter varies depending on the electronic components The chosen options depend on the specific requirements of the project. An LED screen intended for outdoor use will have different characteristics than an indoor screen. LED type, THE pitch (spacing between the LEDs), the IC drivers, the materials used for the casings (steel or aluminum), and the connectors These are all factors that influence the price. It is this customization that allows each screen to be adapted to the specific requirements of the environment and use.
2. Content Management System: The technology behind distribution
An LED screen does not function without a content management system effective. This system is composed of several elements:
- Electronic cards Each LED screen is equipped with a mailing card (sending card) and reception cards (receiving cards) for each channel. For example, a screen with 24 channels will have 24 receiving cards and one sending card. The cost of these receiving cards is often included in the price per square meter of the screen.
- Management computer (player) To manage content distribution and control screen settings (brightness, broadcast times, etc.), a industrial computer is required. This player is designed specifically for this application and is usually assigned to a single screen. Its cost is standardized and included in the offer.
- Content Management System (CMS) : THE CMS Content Management Software (CMS) is the software used to display content on the screen. Pre-installed on the player, it allows for remote management of videos, images, and other content via a web interface. At HTVLED, we use our own CMS., HTV Play, the license for which is included in the price of the player, with no additional recurring costs.
- Video processor This equipment is necessary if the LED screen is used to broadcast live events, such as sporting events. The cost of video processor depends on its technical specifications, including the number of outputs and inputs (HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.), and is included as an option for projects that require this type of broadcasting.
3. Installation, structure and delivery: Screen setup
The final part of the offer concerns the’physical installation, there structure fixing methods and the modalities of delivery.
- Fixing structure The structure needed to install the screen depends on several factors, including its dimensions and location. Prices vary depending on the screen position (height, fixed against a wall, suspended, or mounted on a pole). If the screen is installed in a public space (roads, parking lots, etc.), a technical study is often required, with a certificate issued by an independent body, such as Vinçotte in Belgium.
- Delivery Standard delivery times can be shortened by opting for express air freight. The delivery cost is then calculated based on the weight and of the volume screens, as well as fluctuations in transport fares, particularly during certain times of the year.
- Installation and configuration The installation is carried out by qualified technicians. The number of technicians and the time required depend on the complexity of the project. The installation cost is calculated by the hour or by the day, with two technicians generally sufficient to install and configure a standard LED screen in one day.
Conclusion: Understanding your price quote for an LED screen
Every LED screen project is unique, and the pricing reflects this customization.
