Planar
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLNR), a global leader in display and digital
signage technology, has unveiled the Clarity™ Matrix Video Wall
Calculator, a free, online tool that simplifies the video wall selection
process by simulating for users what their Clarity™ Matrix LCD Video
Wall will look like even before they make the purchase.
The first-of-its-kind tool, the Clarity
Matrix Video Wall Calculator enables users to quickly and easily
configure a LCD video wall for their project, preview it with their own
content and download the results—complete with specification data,
installation diagrams and custom renderings. The free calculator is
designed to make the selection process more successful for anyone
considering a video wall, including system integrators, designers,
consultants and end users.
“The Clarity Matrix Video Wall Calculator simplifies the selection and
configuration of a video wall system by reducing the process from hours
to minutes and making it available 24 hours a day, seven days a week
from any PC, tablet or smart phone,” said Jennifer Davis, vice president
of marketing at Planar Systems. “It offers a very unique online
visualization experience that clients love, and distills a vast quantity
of data down to exactly what they need to proceed with their video wall
project.”
Simplifying the Video Wall Selection Process
The easy-to-navigate Clarity Matrix Calculator was built for Planar’s
recent launch of the Clarity
Matrix LCD Video Wall System with G2 Architecture to help customers
design and specify video walls with greater ease, speed and accuracy. It
includes an attractive user interface, advanced room customization
features and detailed installation mechanics. Users can compare
different display models side-by-side on the same wall. They can also
upload and preview their own content, while exporting detailed images,
schematics and data straight into their sales proposal or project
specification.
“The new Clarity Matrix Calculator really helps to shorten the video
wall sales cycle,” said Matt Pullen, sales manager with CCS Presentation
Systems. “Our clients love seeing their own content on the proposed
video wall even before they’ve made their choice. The Clarity Matrix
Video Wall Calculator is a time-saving resource that is intuitive and
extremely informative.”
A Complete Set of Information
The only tool on the market that can generate such a complete set of
information, the Clarity Matrix Video Wall Calculator is the place to
start when selecting a tiled video array of ultra-narrow bezel LCD
displays. With this calculator, users can:
-
Create a graphical rendering of the video wall by choosing the
model and orientation of the displays and entering the desired display
configuration. The rendering can be previewed online or exported as an
image to include in product proposals or to share with clients.
-
Configure a room by defining the size of the room, choosing one
of several custom room environments and selecting a wall color to
customize the conceptual design.
-
Visualize custom content by uploading their own image or video
or selecting from a preset list of content options to make the video
wall come to life.
-
Compare models and configurations by selecting two models or
display configurations and viewing a side-by-side comparison of
specification data.
-
Understand the environmental and design impact of their video wall
by determining the dimensions, weight, power consumption and heat load
for their selected video wall configuration, which can be exported
into Excel for additional analysis.
-
Generate schematics by previewing a mechanical drawing of the
mounting array for the video wall that shows dimensions, drill hole
patterns, and cable details that can be exported, saving hours of
custom CAD design work.
-
Export their results by downloading a PDF file summary, which
serves as a personal datasheet of their video wall configurations
complete with images, schematics and specification data.
-
Quickly obtain a quote by clicking on a link directly from
within the calculator.
The Clarity Matrix Calculator can be used from a range of devices
including PCs, smartphones and tablets, and requires no software
installation or registration. To use the calculator, please visit www.planar.com/matrixcalculator
