Debuts RX & RP Rear-Projection Displays at InfoComm — 19 June 2007

Planar unveiled two lines of Clarity rear-projection displays at InfoComm 2007. Designed to fit segments including government/military, utilities, broadcast and transportation, the RX and RP series support Planar's strategic mission to provide best-in-class solutions for vertical markets that demand differentiated display products.

Available in "open system" or "integrated system" configurations, the RX and RP rear-projection displays come in 50" (c50RX/c50RP) and 67" (c67RX/c67RP) diagonal screen size options and incorporate Planar's revolutionary Set It and Forget It (SiFi) technology. SiFi automates the continuous operation of Clarity displays at peak performance. In addition, the SiFi Auto Colour Balance feature enables each RX or RP display in a wall to simultaneously measure the brightness and colour of actual light directed at the screen, reducing the time required to optimally balance a VideoWall of multiple rear-projection displays.

Planar's competitively priced RX model is the first XGA Clarity display to offer SiFi, making it an ideal solution for control rooms that do not require ultra-high resolution displays. The RP displays, which offer superior performance for data-intensive environments such as utility or government/military control rooms, also incorporate SiFi technology. SiFi was first introduced at InfoComm 2006 with the Clarity SP series of displays, designed for video-rich applications.

"The addition of the RX & RP series further extends Planar's commitment to providing high-performance Clarity display solutions for a wide range of environments," said Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice president and general manager of Planar's Control Room & Signage Business Unit, formerly Clarity Visual Systems. "Combined with a full range of features and our proprietary SiFi technology, these offerings follow the Clarity display tradition of providing innovative solutions that exhibit high resolution, small footprint, ease of service and reliability."

The RX and RP displays also share other key features such as modular design for easy component replacement, motorized alignment and dual lamp rotation systems.
