SubscribeOccupying 34,000 acres—the equivalent of 53 square miles—Colorado’s Denver International Airport (DIA) is one of the largest airports in the world.
It is also the nation's fifth busiest airport and the tenth busiest in the world. Currently, DIA accommodates approximately 50 million passengers a year. The terminal has more than 1.5 million square feet of space with 89 gates in three concourses.
Digital displays selected to replace CRTs Anticipating continued traffic growth, DIA has incorporated advanced rear-projection, digital displays into its passenger information system, and is utilizing these displays, from Clarity, to provide highly visible flight arrival and departure information. Over 125 networked displays were installed in various locations in the east and west terminals, and the baggage claim areas, replacing the older-technology CRT monitors.
"Advanced displays contribute to enhanced terminal flow and passenger satisfaction"
The digital displays, Clarity's 40-inch Wildcat units, offer a large screen size and an efficient form factor permitting the display of more information in less space. Also, the superior contrast ratio and low-glare flat screens let passengers see flight information from greater distances, helping to improve traffic flow. The displays are arranged in eight-by-two, edge-to edge configurations, providing a large, virtually seamless image area that is easily read even in high ambient light areas.
Clarity chosen for proven technology and market experience DIA chose Clarity because of its proven display technology and experience in serving the aviation market. Its displays are widely used in flight and gate information applications, as well as in control centers and for airport advertising. The displays are favored for their minimal footprint, durability, and ability to operate in the demanding 24/7 airport environment without the cost of ownership issues of other technologies. As networked devices, their content can be easily updated from the airport's centralized flight information sources.
