Planar Announces Availability of Clarity Margay II
Beaverton, Ore.-based Planar Systems, Inc. a worldwide leader in specialty-display solutions, announced availability of the Clarity™ Margay II, a unique 50-inch high-resolution rear-projection display ideal for public-venue video walls and space-constrained control rooms. Delivering outstanding visual performance and ease-of-maintenance through advanced features and exclusive Planar technology, the Margay II supports the company’s strategy to deliver display solutions that meet the specific demands of digital signage and control-room applications.
Margay II significantly improves upon the unique features of the popular Clarity Margay. Margay II offers advances in resolution, color performance and automatic image optimization, expanding on the unique benefits of the original Margay such as shallow depth, wide-screen form factor and strong video performance.
Margay II supports full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution and features including Texas Instrument’s DLP® BrilliantColor™ technology for a brighter display and wider color gamut. The Margay II optical engine incorporates both primary and secondary-color segments in order to achieve deeper, more saturated colors. Unlike other large-format display products, Margay II is designed for creating display banners, columns or walls of any size, with no distracting bezels or image retention.
Margay II also features state-of-the-art Planar Precision™ electronics with digital-uniformity correction and solid-state image alignment. These features result in a more uniform video wall and more precisely aligned images from display to display.
The Margay II features Planar’s SiFi™ technology, which automatically calculates and achieves consistent color and brightness across displays. By automating critical color-balancing functionality, SiFi ensures that the video wall, regardless of its size, delivers optimized visual performance on a consistent basis with minimum operator intervention.
The unique design of Margay II incorporates full-front and rear-service access while maintaining a seamless, zero mullion screen design. For an additional reduction in service time, its modular design allows most components, including lamps, air filters and electronics modules to be replaced in a matter of minutes.
