Upgrade This Sign with XVS
Supercharged LED and Video Display
The XVS upgrade provides tremendous color depth-true NTSC colors-and wider viewing angles. The frame rate is increased to full-motion 30-frames per second, equivalent to television. With all this, your sign can have more accurate and deeper color hues, a wider, brighter viewing area, and even run optional live video feed (optional hardware required).
What does an XVS upgrade do for a Watchfire sign?
Greater Color Depth
With an XVS upgrade on your Watchfire sign, you'll have the capability to display colors for the sharpest most vibrant display available with a 16-bit, 281 trillion color palette!
Faster Frame Rate
HD delivers full-motion video at the frame rate of 60 frames per second.
Wider Viewing Angles
Maximize the viewing angle of your sign by upgrading with XVS. As pedestrian and vehicular traffic passes by your sign, a wider viewing angle allows them to see and read your display even longer.
Live Camera Feed Option
Signs become multi-tasking media centers with the capability to display live video feed when you choose the XVS upgrade (and optional live-video hardware). Feature events as they happen, and draw the attention that no other sign can draw. (Cameras not included.)
Please note: XVS is an option that must be ordered at the time of manufacture. XVS is not a field upgrade.

Pricing
Pricing
Sign prices vary depending on the resolution (pixel pitch), options, and square footage. Your Watchfire representative can assist in size selection.
A Pricing Example: Daily Expense for your Advertising Budget
$19.55 is the daily expense if your accountant depreciates a $50,000 Watchfire LED sign using a typical 7-year depreciation. Our signs offer powerful advertising that captures the mobile audience. Can your local radio or newspaper deliver promotional messages this effectively for just dollars a day? (This is just an example; an appropriate sign for your location might be more or less than $19.55/day.)
Watchfire Financing Lease
Depending on the size and scale of your Watchfire sign, a monthly payment can be as little as that of a car payment. The chart below shows some recent Watchfire color LED sign sales financed with the Watchfire lease program. These particular financed projects included identification signage and installation.

From Jim and Tina Bricker, Owners of Aqua Systems in Warsaw, IN:
"When we heard about Watchfire video signs, we thought the cost would be too much for our budget. After seeing the traveling display, the decision to put up a Watchfire LED message center was an easy one. We have been open two months and the message center is our number one advertising tool, beating radio and newspaper."
From William W. Zielonko, Executive Vice President of Midwest Bank Center in St. Louis, MO:
"It's been a little over a year now since we put in the new message center sign at Fenton. As you know, the results have been excellent with awareness, visibility, and branding greatly improved and actual sales results remarkably improved over a like period without the message sign. These results have convinced us to go forward and add message centers wherever zoning permits."
From Peggy Kroy, Holy Family School in Danville, IL:
"We love it! It was a huge expense for a school our size, but the risk turned into a miracle. The image the size gives us is wonderful... the sign says more than we could ever say through advertising!"
From Brad Cook, Owner of Park Inn in Urbana, IL:
"When your sign is visible from the expressway in the middle of a blizzard and people actually pull off the road in order to stay at your hotel, you know your sign is working for you," Brad Cook comments. "The Watchfire sign was an excellent way to advertise our rates, our facilities, the names of wedding parties, and in some cases, the names of famous guests who've stayed there. Since the sign's installation several months ago, we've had groups call to make reservations simply because their presence could be announced on the electronic board, and they would gain public recognition that other hotels couldn't provide."
Warranty
The
industry-standard Watchfire Limited Warranty covers all sign
electronics and LEDs on your Watchfire LED sign for a full five
