If you are planning to organize large-scale outdoor events, such as music festivals, markets, community events, outdoor weddings, outdoor movie screenings, etc., you may need professional equipment to play audio and video content.
Because if there are only speakers and a stage, but no TV to play videos and pictures, the entire venue will lose focus and event participants will feel bored.
To make up for this shortcoming, most event planners will consider either self-preparation or outdoor TV rentals, the latter being the most common. Because renting a TV is more suitable for short-term events, returning the equipment after the rental period is over will save a lot of storage space and save too much trouble.
However, do you know what precautions should be taken when renting an outdoor TV? How is it different from other TV rentals? This is explained in detail below.
1. The outdoor environment and climate are changeable. The most important thing is to be prepared for waterproofing and dustproofing.
The outdoor environment is ever-changing. Before renting an outdoor TV, it is best to consider a monitor with waterproof and dustproof functions to avoid embarrassing interruptions in activities.
In particular, Hong Kong has a subtropical climate. Affected by the warm and humid air currents in the Pacific, the climate is hot and humid all year round, and it often rains in summer. However, during this period, outdoor activities are intensively held. It is most important to consider the waterproof function to avoid sudden interruption of activities and cause dissatisfaction among viewers. Avoid expensive equipment damage and monetary losses.
2. The issue of brightness should be considered in the outdoor environment. This problem is often ignored in the system.
If the weather is sunny and the outdoor sunlight is strong, the TV needs to have a higher brightness limit. If the upper limit of the brightness value or contrast will affect the audience's perception, the screen content cannot be clearly seen, which will make the audience dissatisfied.
MediA Flow Studio reminds you: It is recommended to rent an outdoor TV (at least 2500 nits) to ensure that the screen text can be clearly seen in the sun. More tips: 8 things you should pay attention to when renting outdoor LED display screens
3. When renting outdoor TVs, you must prepare the power supply in advance and conduct stability tests.
Although most outdoor performance venues have power supplies, the aging of the power supply in some venues may affect the power supply and even pose safety risks. It is recommended to test the power supply in advance and prepare plugs with enough sockets and long enough wires.
If you find a temporary outdoor venue, it may be more difficult to guarantee the power supply. It is recommended to arrive at the site in advance to check to avoid the situation of no power supply after renting the TV. If there is no power, you will need to consider using a generator and prepare fuel.
4. Determine the size of the TV based on the venue and planned number of people.
If the venue is too large, or there are many people attending, you may want to rent a larger TV. Because if the TV is too small and the venue is too large, the audience in the back row will not be able to see the screen clearly, and there will be audience dissatisfaction.
Generally speaking, MediA Flow Studio recommends that the farther the audience in the back row is from the stage, the larger the TV monitor. If the TV cannot meet your TV size requirements, you can consider projector rental, LED Wall rental, etc.
5. Division of installation and disassembly of outdoor TV rentals
If you plan to transport and install the TV by yourself, you may need certain installation knowledge. It is best to ask the leasing company on-site for usage tips, fully consider and scientifically install the monitor, and disassemble the equipment in a standardized and light manner to avoid damage to the equipment and cause losses at the end of the lease period. After that, it is recommended to collect it on time to avoid exceeding the deadline.
Some rental companies do not provide free installation and removal services. However, MediA Flow Studio provides free transportation, installation and support services for some equipment, which is very cost-effective. It is recommended that you cooperate with it.
6. It is best to be equipped with a professional sound system, which is more compatible and has better effects.
Ordinary home speakers have low power and average sound quality, and may not be able to meet the requirements of large-scale outdoor activities. Because everyone knows that a relatively empty outdoor venue will cause the sound to disperse and cause more noise, which will affect the sound performance.

7. For large events, you should cooperate with a professional rental company
When planning and organizing large-scale events or very important commercial activities, you should cooperate with a professional TV rental company to provide 100% high guarantee.
Avoid renting speakers privately to save money, because the equipment they provide may have poor sound and picture quality, cannot meet the requirements of large-scale events, and may lack on-site support, which may lead to the risk of accidents at the event site.
8. Remember! Test equipment ahead of time
Before every important event, you test the equipment in advance, such as whether the TV can play normally and whether the sound of the stereo is clear, to ensure that everything is working properly and you are familiar with the operating procedures.
If you are worried about various problems, it is recommended that you cooperate with MediA Flow Studio to provide professional on-site personnel support services, so that you can be 100% assured.
