By now, we’ve probably all grown accustomed to our ultra thin, flat panel, high-def 50+” TVs, but maybe we’re not yet fully sensitized to the technology that gives us the impressive video wall. I’m talking a 12 foot by 12 foot (and up) expanse of unencumbered, ultra-realistic, perfectly-aligned LCD digital imagery. At NeoCon, attendees have quickly discovered that Planar is setting the industry standard for these high-tech installations—the company’s Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall facilitates enhanced image quality and increased user interactivity.

Control the Room with Clarity Matrix

But that’s not all it does. Because of its miniscule gap between monitors (5.7 mm), Clarity Matrix provides unsurpassed continuity and minimal visual disturbance between tiles. This results in a clean, crisp, and continuous image. Furthermore, Planar’s EasyAxis Mounting System enables Clarity Matrix’s ultra-thin profile, making it the thinnest LCD video wall on the market and helping it comply with the stringent depth requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In short, Clarity Matrix is more user friendly than other video wall systems. Its applications extend from control rooms (we’re talking high-tech military and corporate environments) to cinema and hotel lobbies, airports, bars, even the offices of architects and designers—“any digital signage customers who want the ultimate digital canvas.”

Other advantages of Clarity Matrix’s thin profile include minimal installation space, ease of alignment, and optimal cooling. The units are also easier to service than other video wall systems, allowing for less down time and helping to achieve the 24/7 operation often required of dynamic video walls.

Clarity Matrix also makes significant strides towards an enhanced degree of interactivity. The systems use Planar’s ERO (Extended Ruggedness and Optics) technology, providing a smooth yet durable surface that prevents screen damage, as they invite new modes of user interface: “Clarity Matrix Touch utilizes DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology by SMART Technologies, allowing users to write notes in digital ink and interact with content on the video wall using finger touches and touch gestures.”
