SNA Displays, a prominent manufacturer of LED display technology, has announced the launch of ASTRO™, an advanced brightness monitoring suite designed to optimize LED display performance while addressing key operational and environmental challenges. The system, which has been in beta testing, will become a standard feature for new project deployments starting in 2025.
ASTRO™ is a sophisticated ecosystem of tools that enables precise control of LED screen brightness. The system utilizes a blend of astronomical data, location-based inputs, time, date, and real-time weather conditions to dynamically adjust screen settings to meet user-defined preferences.
Among its standout features, ASTRO™ offers active NIT reading, a capability that provides precise real-time measurements of screen brightness. This approach goes beyond traditional methods that estimate brightness based on diode ratings or age, empowering operators to make informed decisions that enhance display performance and longevity.
SNA Displays developed ASTRO™ in response to the growing demand for advanced display solutions that mitigate light pollution and comply with regulatory requirements.
“This software-as-a-service is crucial for installations in light-sensitive areas, such as near residential neighborhoods or locations governed by strict city ordinances,” said Stew Ives, vice president of products and solutions at SNA Displays. “We anticipate these capabilities becoming a regulatory standard for active brightness monitoring in the future.”
The ASTRO™ suite is designed to maximize the lifespan of diodes while ensuring displays operate at peak efficiency. This alignment of performance and sustainability underscores SNA Displays’ dedication to providing high-quality, long-lasting solutions for its clients.
“With ASTRO™, we’re offering our clients tools that optimize performance and reduce environmental impact,” Ives said. “It’s another way we stand by our commitment to Total Project Satisfaction.”
The release of ASTRO™ introduces a new approach to adaptive LED display technologies. By integrating advanced data analysis with real-time monitoring, the system aims to help businesses and organizations meet performance objectives while adhering to light pollution regulations.
