Quick answer
For a temporary outdoor facade, choose EA1000TOR1 when sightlines, a curved backdrop or a column build matter: its 1000×500 mm, 80 mm, 7.5 kg cabinet lists pitch-specific transparency, IP65, front and rear maintenance and a high-precision curve lock. Choose EA1000C6 when the wall can be opaque and a 500×1000 mm rental cabinet with IP65 front/IP54 rear outdoor protection fits. Confirm exact pitch, protection by face and curve hardware in writing.

Sightlines decide the opaque or transparent shortlist
EA1000TOR1 is the transparent option in this comparison. Its specification table lists transparency by pixel pitch: 60% for P3.91-7.82, 70% for P10.4 and 80% for P15.6. The open cabinet design is described as helping reduce wind resistance, improve airflow and preserve sightlines through the screen. For an outdoor transparent rental, specify transparency for the exact pitch rather than a model-wide headline.
EA1000C6 is the opaque cabinet in this comparison. It uses 500 × 1000 mm cabinets for event and AV businesses and is documented with 3,840 Hz refresh, IP65 waterproof rating, 140° viewing angle, double quick locks, corner protectors and an openable back cover. Choose it when the wall can be a solid video surface and the view behind the screen does not need to remain visible.
Protection and weather exposure for a temporary facade
EA1000TOR1 has an IP65 dust and water protection rating. The source describes the outdoor design as helping protect the display during rental events and asks buyers to confirm installation conditions and the required configuration when planning a project. Treat IP65 as a cabinet-level starting point and ask how the quoted build handles exposed joints, cable entries and the actual service side.
EA1000C6 outdoor models list IP65 protection at the front and IP54 at the rear; indoor models are IP31. For a temporary outdoor facade, select the outdoor model and confirm the rear protection, weather exposure and installation conditions before purchase. The EA1000C6 quote lines should name the outdoor model and its front and rear ratings. Do not apply an indoor rating to an outdoor event wall.
EA1000C6 and EA1000TOR1 documented differences for a temporary outdoor facade
| Decision | EA1000C6 opaque | EA1000TOR1 transparent | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sightlines | Solid 500 × 1000 mm rental cabinet for event and AV use; no transparency documented in the supplied excerpt. | Transparent outdoor rental cabinet; 60% for P3.91-7.82, 70% for P10.4, 80% for P15.6. | Request transparency for the quoted pitch or confirm an opaque face is acceptable. |
| Cabinet format | 500 × 1000 mm cabinets. | 1000 × 500 mm standard cabinet, 80 mm thick, 7.5 kg; optional 500 × 500 mm bevel. | Name exact cabinet size, thickness and weight. |
| Weather protection | Outdoor models IP65 front and IP54 rear; indoor models IP31. | IP65 dust and water protection. | Confirm protection by face and installation conditions. |
| Curves and columns | Optional angle hardware supports concave and convex walls; 500 × 1000 connects with EA500C6. | High-precision curve lock; EA500TOR1 angled cabinets combine for square or column screens. | Confirm curve hardware, cabinet mix and lock range. |
| Service | Openable back cover; access to power supply near service door. | Front and rear maintenance; stacking, hanging or fixed installation. | Confirm service route in the installed orientation. |
| Refresh and content | At least 3,840 Hz, 14-bit grayscale, 140° viewing; brightness varies by model. | Request configured brightness and refresh for the quoted pitch. | Name configured brightness and test camera settings if filmed. |
| Mixed splicing | Connects vertically with EA500C6 500 × 500 mm. | Compatible with optional EA500TOR1 500 × 500 mm angled cabinets. | Confirm matching pitch and spare modules for each format. |
Curve locks, columns and mixed cabinet formats
EA1000TOR1 has a high-precision curve lock that uses rotational control to adjust the cabinet angle quickly and accurately. Optional EA500TOR1 500 × 500 mm angled cabinets are compatible with the standard EA1000TOR1 1000 × 500 mm cabinets, and combining the two formats can create square or column-shaped LED screens. Put any EA1000TOR1 bevel cabinet on its own quotation line rather than assuming a flat cabinet count covers the build.
EA1000C6 takes a different route: optional angle hardware supports concave and convex LED walls, and the 500 × 1000 mm cabinet connects vertically with the EA500C6 500 × 500 rental LED display. Confirm the required hardware and cabinet layout when planning a curved stage display, and use a separate cabinet plan for curved or mixed-size layouts.
Service access, handling and installation method
EA1000TOR1 supports front and rear maintenance and can be stacked, hung or fixed. Choose the installation method to match the venue layout and the access available around the screen. If the temporary facade leaves no rear service corridor, the documented front maintenance route is the relevant check.
EA1000C6 has an openable back cover for maintenance and gives technicians access to the power supply near the service door. Its quick locks join cabinets on the top and left sides, positioning beads help align adjacent cabinets, and four corner protectors help shield exposed LED edges during transport, installation and teardown. Confirm the service route for the exact outdoor model.
Refresh, brightness and content checks
All listed EA1000C6 models offer at least 3,840 Hz refresh, 14-bit grayscale and a 140° viewing angle. Brightness varies by model, so use the specification tables to compare configurations and request the configured brightness for the exact outdoor model.
For EA1000TOR1, request the configured brightness and refresh for the quoted pitch. If the screen will be filmed, test the completed wall with the intended camera settings rather than relying on a model headline.
Spare-module and quotation planning
For a flat EA1000C6 wall with upright 500 × 1000 mm cabinets, the supplied FAQ method divides width in metres by 0.5 and height by 1, then multiplies: a 4 m × 3 m wall uses 24 cabinets. Curved or mixed-size layouts need a separate cabinet plan, and the spare modules should match the exact model and pitch. Put that line on the quotation so you can compare what is included.
For EA1000TOR1, the quotation should name the 1000 × 500 mm cabinet, the 80 mm thickness and 7.5 kg weight, the IP65 basis, the quoted pitch and its transparency figure, and any optional EA500TOR1 angled cabinet used for a column or corner. Separate cabinets, control, packaging and freight so you can compare LED screen quotes on the same inclusions.

Frequently asked questions
Which cabinet fits a temporary outdoor facade if the view behind must stay visible?
EA1000TOR1 is the documented transparent outdoor rental cabinet for that brief. It uses a 1000 × 500 mm standard cabinet, is 80 mm thick and weighs 7.5 kg, and lists IP65 dust and water protection. Transparency depends on the quoted pitch: 60% for P3.91-7.82, 70% for P10.4 and 80% for P15.6.
Is EA1000C6 suitable for an outdoor event wall?
An outdoor EA1000C6 model is documented with IP65 protection at the front and IP54 at the rear; indoor models are IP31. Select the outdoor model for outdoor events and confirm installation conditions and weather protection for rear connections.
What curve options does each cabinet document?
EA1000TOR1 has a high-precision curve lock that uses rotational control to adjust cabinet angle, and optional EA500TOR1 500 × 500 mm angled cabinets are compatible with its 1000 × 500 mm cabinets for square or column-shaped screens. EA1000C6 offers optional angle hardware for concave and convex LED walls. Confirm the required hardware and layout.
What transparency should I request for EA1000TOR1?
Request the transparency figure for the exact pixel pitch. The EA1000TOR1 specification table lists 60% for P3.91-7.82, 70% for P10.4 and 80% for P15.6.
How should I plan spares for a mixed rental wall?
EA1000C6 500 × 1000 mm cabinets connect vertically with the EA500C6 500 × 500 mm cabinet, and EA1000TOR1 1000 × 500 mm cabinets are compatible with optional EA500TOR1 500 × 500 mm angled cabinets. Confirm matching pixel pitch and spare modules for each format before combining models.
Do I need a separate cabinet plan for a curved or mixed-size wall?
Yes. The EA1000C6 source says curved or mixed-size layouts need a separate cabinet plan, and the EA1000TOR1 source lists optional angled cabinets for corner, square or column builds. A flat cabinet count does not establish the angled cabinet quantity.
