  • Estimated turn time for delivery:
    • Inventory Item: 2-3 Days for Packing and Final Inspection
    • Customized Product:  Manufacturing Lead Time: 3 – 4 Weeks
  • Shipment via Air: 7 – 10 days (1 – 1.5 Weeks)
    Shipment via Ocean:
    • West Coast USA (2-3 weeks)
    • East Coast USA (4-5 weeks)
  • USA Customs Clearance will be coordinated by QST LED. It takes usually about 3 days from the time the shipment arrives to the port and when our customs broker agent completes the customs process.  When the process is finished, the shipment will be made available to the client for pick-up at the port, or QST LED can help the client coordinate delivery arrangements if required.
  • Standard Delivery provided by QST is to the nearest Airport or Ocean Port specified by the Dealer. The Dealer is responsible for pickup and delivery to the client destination unless specific alternate arrangements are made with QST.
  • Installation Specifications
    The LED Screen can be mounted per specific site requirements. The installation plan can be produced and configured in a drawing prior to installation and delivery of the video wall. 
  • Installation is assumed to be handled by the Dealer that is ordering the LED Video Wall system for the client. 
  • QST can offer technical guidance on-site or remotely. For the first installation, QST is prepared to provide an on-site technician once the Dealer agrees to cover the cost of travel (Hotel & Airfare) for the QST Technician.

Q: Let’s just say I wanted A LOT more. Is it possible to get in the same batch? 

A: We can’t guarantee the exact same batch, since that’s controlled by our upstream diode supplier.  But we can request for the closest bin (the larger the order the closer we can get–in fact)  then we can have Nova do a secondary calibration on the two batches of screens so they can be nearly identical.
 

Q: Does this quote include mounts needed for mounting the LED screen to a wall?

A: The quote doesn’t include any mounting frame/structure unless its specifically listed, but we can help design the mounting hardware and produce shop drawings when the time comes.

Technical FAQ

Media

  • Content produced and formatted as AVI or MP4
    Video content should be created at the pixel count of the screen and and an aspect ratio to match the pixel count. Other Windows Graphic file formats are support by the player software.
  • Loaded to a cloud server (Private or is this hosted by you?)
    There is an option for a cloud server, this would only be used in a multi-store configuration. What we wanted to clarify during the show is that the content can be easily streamed from a computer or media player at the client location.
  • A wireless router/ player is connected to the display panels (hard wired)
    The provided media player in the quote is a Wi-Fi enabled device.
  • Playlists are controlled by an APP connected to the player via LAN/Wi-Fi
    Your content will stream from your tablet or smartphone via the App connected on the same Wi-Fi Network.
  • Separate display modules can be linked together or will they require separate media players for each section?
    Each Media Player can handle 2.5 Million Pixels so the single device included in the quote is more than sufficient for driving these configurations.
  • What are specifications for media content  production/ output for Optimal performance and picture quality?
    Given the scale of the video wall, the content does not need to exceed the Pixel Resolution of the LED Video Wall. Each project pixel count is custom. Video Wall Overall Picture Quality is determined by the content and viewing distance as well. Higher Resolution content does not make a difference in this application.

Rental/Touring Product Specific

How are flight cases calculated
