Leyard and Planar present the third generation of their Clarity Matrix LCD video wall system

The new Clarity Matrix G3 builds on the success of this award-winning line of displays, offering advanced video processing, energy efficiency and smart management software.

Multinational display systems companies Leyard y Planar have taken another step in innovation with the development of the third generation of their Clarity Matrix LCD video wall system, combining an ultra-thin bezel with advanced video processing, new external electronics and simple installation and management, for optimal visual performance and operation 24/7.

The new Clarity Matrix G3 system innovates in almost every aspect of the exclusive Clarity Matrix architecture, based on the achievements and experience obtained in its LCD video wall solutions. Specifically, Features a new external video controller with advanced video processing capabilities built into the system; Includes newly developed Leyard WallDirector software to further simplify installation, video wall monitoring and management.

The third generation Clarity Matrix also offers greater fault tolerance and improved power efficiency thanks to a new electronic architecture and improved off-board power delivery.

As Steve Seminario explains, VP. Leyard and Planar product marketing, “the presentation of Clarity Matrix G3 is a record, as more customers than ever have taken advantage of the unique, standardized benefits of Clarity Matrix, whose capabilities are now expanded with innovative advancements that further raise the level of our LCD video wall solution.”.

One of the great advances in this regard is the incorporation of the off-board video controller, that takes processing to a new level, with in-system scaling for single source input, beyond 6K resolution (5.760×3.240p) with Planar Big Picture Plus video wall processing, without the need for an external video processor or audio/video switch.

Specifically, Users can have multiple 4K@60Hz signals and scale them across both the entire video wall and separate sections within it.

They can also display content from a greater number of independent sources; overlay a smaller image on a larger one with picture-in-picture (PiP) and incorporate up to four different image sources on a single 4K display quadview.

Clarity Matrix G3 supports the latest 4K connectivity standards, which include both HDMI 2.0 como DisplayPort 1.2, offering greater flexibility to customers as they build their video infrastructure.

Easier installation and monitoring

Clarity Matrix G3 comes standard with the simple and intuitive Leyard WallDirector software, which simplifies configuration, video wall operation and monitoring. Powerful Web-based interface automatically identifies video wall components (display settings, power supply quantities and supply inputs), significantly reducing the time it takes to set up a complex video wall.

This software also allows you to drag and drop fonts on the screen and easily modify their size and position. Presets can recall video wall window layouts, making it easy to quickly configure content.

With Leyard WallDirector it is possible to monitor the status of all video wall components from a central location, local or remote, so the customer can proactively resolve any issues by automatically identifying non-working screens, power supplies and electronic components in real time.

Fault tolerance and energy efficiency

Clarity Matrix G3 features a new remote power supply, located in a well-ventilated rack room, thus taking the heat away from the video wall, noise, weight and service points, and thus tripling the power density per rack unit of previous versions, which minimizes the requirements of said unit.

The system has advanced fault tolerance functions, including redundancy + 1, hot-swappable power modules and circuit-level redundancy. With remote power supply less than 3V of standby power is required for the entire video wall, making Clarity Matrix G3 one of the most energy efficient LCD video wall solutions on the market.

Clarity Matrix G3 builds on the mission-critical performance and reliability of previous versions of the range, which have placed it as the best LCD video wall solution in its class. Like Clarity Matrix G2, Features an ultra-narrow bezel, of alone 1,7 mm; as well as standard and high gloss models, of 46 y 55”, along with options for Planar ERO (Extended ruggedness and optics), with fiber video extensions, 3D passive and interactive multi-touch.

Also features the Planar EasyAxis mounting system, providing the industry's thinnest installation depth yet and includes service access and micro-adjustments for easy video wall mounting and maintenance.

The Clarity Matrix G3 LCD system has already begun marketing through the global network of authorized Leyard and Planar distributors, and will be exhibited in the exhibition space of these companies in WHEREAS 2018 (hall 12 – stand H80).
