Control your costs with this network-controllable 42" LCD monitor.
Whether used in a network or as a single public display, this model offers
a variety of features to meet the most demanding public and corporate
viewing applications.
Integrated SmartCard Xpress Slot for expandability SmartCard Xpress is an
expansion slot that lends additional functionality to the display. Cards
developed by Philips and/or third parties are designed to streamline
connectivity with the display via the slot, eliminating the need for
external devices.
Monitor is network controllable for remote management Network
controllability allows user to control and adjust monitors remotely through
RS232 protocol.
Wide format WXGA 1366 x 768 resolution for sharper display The wide format
of XGA resolution LCD panel is capable of displaying 1366 x 768 pixels;
WXGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced to ensure a better display
performance and accurate color display effect.
HDMI input for full digital HD connection in one cable HDMI makes an
uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By
eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished
image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer
picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with
the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI
sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.
Determine different start up settings with SmartControl In a networked
setting you want to able to control the start up conditions of all displays
when the mains power is reconnected or resumed after a power interruption.
Via RS232 commands Smart Control allows flexibility over four different
start up settings: power status, source input, volume level and picture
format. For all four settings you can choose the display to remember their
last status or to have a fixed setting when power is reconnected.
Hidden and lockable control buttons The local control buttons of the
display are placed in such a way that they are less visible for immediate
access. Furthermore the remote control sensor as well as the local control
buttons can be disabled via RS232 to prevent unauthorized control of the
display when placed in a public space.
SmartPower for energy saving The backlight intensity can be controlled and
pre-set by the system to reduce the power consumption by up to 50%, which
saves substantially on energy costs.
Wireless SmartLoader for fast cloning Provides the ability to copy all menu
settings from one display into other displays. The feature ensures
uniformity between the sets and significantly reduces installation time.
Operates fully wireless.
