Featured Project: UTG Digital Media Installs Second Set of LED Stairs

Following the success of its first LED staircase project at the Jewel nightclub in Las Vegas, Ottowa, Canada-based UTG Digital Media, which makes indoor and outdoor digital signage and displays, announces its second LED staircase and ticker, at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre.

Axxys Construction commissioned UTG Digital to design and install the stairs, along with an LED ticker more than 194′ long.

The stairs were custom-built for the retail center’s expansion. They are 27′ long and have 13 shock-absorbent steps, all of which can display text, images, videos or a combination of mediums. They provide real-time programming and deliver visual content simultaneously. The company says that up close, the staircase’s unique cabinet design involved inserting UTG’s custom-made cabinets inside the front panel of each step and then installing custom-fit LED modules. Durable, transparent plexiglass was then applied to protect the modules from the daily foot traffic going up and down the stairs.

The stairs have 4 mm pixel pitch, allowing them to display high-resolution images, videos, and text.

UTG has also installed a P6 LED Ticker more than 194′ that displays high-resolution scrolling text. The custom LED Ticker extends from one end of the expansion space to the other.

“As an Ottawa based company, we are proud to deliver on unique and innovative digital products, especially after the major success of our LED stairs in Vegas. It was a pleasure working with the Axxys team on this unique project in Canada for the retail industry,” says Alan Wehbe, founder and CEO of UTG Digital Media.
