Plasma System Solutions

Digital Signage/Narrowcasting System Complete with Touch Panel

HD-SDI/SD-SDI System for Broadcast Use

Easy, interactive content distribution system for retail chains and public spaces such as shopping malls, office buildings and hotels

• Constructing a Multi-Language Environment

In contrast with conventional methods, in which several information panels are prepared in different languages, this digital system allows visitors to simply touch the panel itself to switch to the language they want. It is a highly effective and efficient way to offer people the content that they want to see.

• Flexible Content Control

Each PC connected to the Plasma has a unique IP address, allowing content to be streamed to the Plasma on any LAN, modem, Internet or Satellite network. It speeds up the process of updating information, and any combination of Plasmas can be controlled locally or from a central location.

LAN/Internet/Satellite Network

• Adapts Easily to HD-SDI/SD-SDI Systems

The PDP adapts easily to HD-SDI and SD-SDI, the digital interfaces used in broadcasting and video production. Simply plug the SDI or HD- SDI terminal board into the function slot.

• Larger Screen with Wider Viewing Angle

Large PDP screens range from 42 to 50 inches — a big advantage over the maximum 32-inch screen available with conventional HD-CRT monitor displays for broadcast use. PDP screens also offer a wider viewing angle and easier, more comfortable monitoring.

System Configuration

• Saves Rack Space

With its thin profile, a PDP takes up less rack space than a CRT monitor.

• Ideal as a Studio Monitor

When the PDP is used as a studio monitor display, its large screen and wide viewing angle provide superior viewing for performers and production crew. The PDP also requires little installation space and is easy to move. When a 65-inch PDP is used for recording a programme with a live audience, it helps create a livelier, upbeat atmosphere.

• Universal System Design

Since the entire system can be configured in a Windows environment, it requires no special software for content production or operation.

Near the 1st floor entrance

*You can configure a 50-inch display and control system by simply combining the TH-50PHD8 series Plasma Display and TY-TP50P8-S Touch Panel, then connecting the PC to the plasma display.

*Content is distributed by a centralized control PC in an office and stored in the hard disk of each PC, ready to be displayed by touch panel operation.

Information System Using Twisted-Pair-Cable Receivers

Displaying up-to-date information such as transportation schedule changes, stock market conditions, and countless other possible subjects.

• Real-Time Information Bulletins

The use of the CAT5e twisted-pair cable allows content to be sent from the server in real-time, for instant response to events such as sudden changes in transportation schedules or accident information as it becomes available.

•Long-Distance Transmission of High-Quality Video Signals High-resolution XGA images, sound and RS232C control signal are transmitted approximately 150 m over a single cable. PDP control signals can also be sent over the same cable to allow remote operation of power ON/OFF and other functions.

•Higher Signal Quality, Lower Costs, and Easier Installation

Thin, lightweight CAT5e twisted-pair cables do a better job of preventing signal degradation than coaxial cables. They also reduce costs and shorten the time needed for installation.
