Planar Announces Three New Control Room and Public Display Solutions for European Market
BEAVERTON, Oregon, June 30 -- Company Introduces Planar Precision(TM) Electronics for Simplified Advanced Image Calibration
Planar Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLNR), a worldwide leader in specialty
display solutions, today announced three new displays featuring leading-edge
technology for optimum image quality. The Clarity x100HD, Clarity c80RP and
Planar m52L support the company's ongoing strategy to expand its line of
advanced display solutions for demanding government, utility, security,
transportation, broadcast and corporate environments.
In addition, the company introduced Planar Precision(TM) electronics,
offering solid state image alignment and electronic uniformity correction.
These innovations, along with other proprietary technology like Set it and
Forget it (SiFi(TM)) automatic color and brightness balancing, make it easier
for end-users to establish and maintain a precisely aligned, balanced and
uniform image on Clarity DLP® rear projection video walls.
"These latest offerings demonstrate Planar's continued commitment to the
development of high-value, large-format display solutions for the European
marketplace," said Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice president and general manager
for Planar's Control Room and Signage Business Unit. "The x100HD, c80RP, m52L
and Planar Precision electronics expand upon our existing lines to offer AV
integrators and end-users unprecedented display options and the tools to
optimize them for the customer's environment."
Clarity x100HD: Life-like Images and Exceptional Value
Planar has expanded its product line with the Clarity x100HD, a 100-inch
large screen display designed to be flush-mounted in a wall, ideal for
conference rooms, control rooms, security monitoring and broadcast
applications. For true-to-life images, the full high-definition x100HD
features DLP BrilliantColor(TM) technology, which offers a brighter display
and a wider color gamut not available in competing technologies. In addition,
its Planar Precision electronics make it easy to achieve a perfectly aligned
and uniform image. This is critical for conference rooms and broadcast
applications where excellent image quality is the primary concern. For AV
integrators seeking exceptional value and an overall lower cost of ownership,
the x100HD features easy set-up, full front serviceability and low power
consumption.
Clarity c80RP: Planar's Largest Control Room Cube with Built-in SiFi
Planar's new 80-inch Clarity c80RP offers SXGA+ native resolution, SiFi
Auto Color Balance to achieve consistent brightness and color uniformity
across screens, and a new high-contrast screen for sharp image, high
brightness and excellent tiling performance. The c80RP screen features
Planar's unique seamless screen technology and calibrated brackets to
simplify the deployment of perfectly uniform curved video walls. The
combination of large screen size and native SXGA+ DLP technology make the
c80RP ideal for displaying large volumes of fine-detailed data, such as SCADA
and other industrial control systems used in utility, telecommunications and
government installations.
Planar m52L: Narrow Bezel, High Brightness and Full HD
The Planar m52L joins the versatile m-Series family of commercial-grade
LCD displays suited for control room, broadcast and public display
applications. Designed for use in tiled or stand-alone use, the m52L features
