Macropix completed an installation at Rome Fiumicino Airport featuring two indoor LED walls, designed to transform high-traffic passenger areas into high-impact digital communication spaces.
Each display measures 3 × 2 metres and uses indoor SMD LED technology with a 2.6 mm pixel pitch, providing HD image quality suitable for relatively close viewing distances. With a resolution of 1,152 × 768 pixels and brightness of 1,000 nits, the displays deliver vivid advertising and communication content throughout the terminal.
Location: ROME, ITALY
Technology: LED, INDOOR, SMD
Product: LED SCREEN, 2.6 mm PIXEL PITCH
Dimensions: 3 x 2 (x2) m
Resolution: 1152 x 768 pixels
Brightness: 1000 NIT
Benefits of the installation
In an airport, where thousands of passengers move through corridors and transit areas every day, communication needs to be immediate, highly visible and easy to understand.
The two LED walls transform the surrounding space into a powerful digital communication platform, attracting passengers’ attention through bright images, video and dynamic content.
Unlike traditional static advertising, LED technology makes it possible to change messages quickly, schedule different campaigns and use the same digital surface for multiple communication purposes.
The 2.6 mm pixel pitch is particularly valuable in an indoor airport environment. Passengers can pass relatively close to the displays, so the reduced distance between individual pixels helps maintain sharp text, graphics and images even at shorter viewing distances.
The 1,000-nit brightness also provides strong visual impact in brightly illuminated terminal areas, helping content remain clear and engaging.
For the airport and advertising sector, the installation therefore provides a solution that is:
- highly visible in areas with significant passenger flow;
- suitable for advertising, branding and information content;
- easy to update with new campaigns;
- able to maximise the communication value of existing architectural surfaces.
The Mobilis-L documentation specifically identifies airports and other transportation hubs as key applications for this type of LED display.
Product used
The indoor LED solution used for this type of project is designed to combine high visual quality, a slim structure and straightforward maintenance.
The Mobilis-L family uses die-cast aluminium cabinets with a depth of only 40 mm, allowing LED walls to be integrated into indoor environments without requiring bulky structures.
The product also features a highly integrated design. Connections are incorporated into the system and cabling is concealed, resulting in a cleaner installation and helping simplify the assembly process.
Maintenance flexibility is another important advantage. Components can be accessed from both the front and the rear, enabling technicians to choose the most convenient servicing method depending on the installation space.
For the end user, these characteristics translate into a display that is:
- slim and discreet;
- easy to integrate into indoor architecture;
- designed for easier maintenance;
- suitable for smooth video and digital content reproduction.
The Mobilis-L range also offers a refresh rate of at least 3,840 Hz, supporting stable, fluid image reproduction and high-quality results even when the display is recorded with cameras or smartphones.
