trivision innovation<br />

Prism technology comes in from the cold<br />

An innovative new, er, twist on the trivision<br />

form of advertising is making a big impact<br />

in the market having been launched by<br />

Korean company Global Sign Technology.<br />

The product is HexaVision.<br />

The company develops, manufactures and<br />

supplies conceptual advertising display media<br />

for merchants, shopping centres, event sponsors<br />

and advertising agencies all over the world.<br />

‘Through the use of GST’s advertising media, our<br />

customers will receive the highest return on<br />

investment. This is the most cost effective way to<br />

promote their products and services,’ says<br />

Overseas Marketing manager Sophia Shin.<br />

With its clear 360º visual design, Hexavision<br />

comprises six rotating triangular prisms. It is an<br />

efficient form of advertising particularly suited to<br />

High impact trivision<br />

Netherlands-based RotaPanel International<br />

has been making trivision signs for more<br />

than 10 years, and supplies big-names such<br />

as Clear Channel, Viacom, Wall, and Gewista.<br />

The company puts great store by its technical<br />

expertise and project support. RotaPanel’s sign<br />

range includes RotaPoster Digital signs between<br />

25-40m long, and unipoles of 14.6 x 4.26m.<br />

Recently, another innovative development<br />

was added – the cardanic divider, or linkage<br />

mechanism.With a divider mounted using stainless<br />

steel ball bearings, RotaPanel says it is possible<br />

to easily create RotaPanels of hundreds of<br />

square metres and up to 14.5m high with a single<br />

drive unit. Recent projects using the RotaPanel<br />

Extralarge format include a 200m 2 unit in Yemen;<br />

limited spaces, says GST. The prisms dynamically<br />

rotate and portray up to six different images all<br />

together. Each side can show a different image in<br />

three directions at the same time. Serial, multi<br />

images can also be presented in a story telling<br />

manner for an even more dynamic effect.<br />

Hexavision also allows the display of actual<br />

merchandise along with the images utilising the<br />

hollow interiors of the prisms. The units are available<br />

in different sizes to suit a range of locations.<br />

Image heights available are: 520x280mm,<br />

900x530mm, 1150x666mm, and 1500x880mm.<br />

GST supplies the units for placement in theatres,<br />

shopping malls, hospitals, transport networks,<br />

corporate buildings and exhibition centres.<br />

and a 120m 2 installation in Vienna.<br />

Replacing static advertising on a pole with a<br />

RotaPanel XXL result in five times more attention<br />

value and a three times higher yield, says<br />

the company. RotapPanel also says signs based<br />

on digital technology exhibit fewer error caused<br />

by mechanical failure, such as those associated<br />

with reduction boxes and poster tensioners.The<br />

company worked on the software for its digital<br />

signs for two years. Now, each poster may be<br />

treated individually with regards to tension,<br />

speed, weight and motion. In fact, material specifications<br />

can be saved and digital adjustments<br />

made for material type and weight.The settings<br />

may even be changed remotely using a PC and<br />

GSM modem. Using this increasingly popular<br />

technology, users can also check each<br />

RotaPanel, and even receive error messages.<br />

The RotaPoster Digital system positions<br />

posters accurately in all conditions and is<br />

unaffected by changes in poster length due to<br />

moisture. Up to eight posters of 120-250 grams<br />

paper or canvas may be shown. Many competitors’<br />

systems are, says RotaPanel, often unable to<br />

handle 250-gram material, such as canvas.<br />

The combination of running 120 and 250<br />

grams simultaneously is unique, says<br />

RotaPanel. This allows the combination of short<br />

campaigns with semi-permanent campaigns<br />

lasting up to six months.<br />

RotaPoster Digital also allows each poster's<br />

exposure time to be programmed. Specific,<br />

time-critical target groups, such as commuters<br />

or shoppers can be targetted in what<br />

Rotapanel calls ‘poster priority’.<br />
