Next-Generation LCD Video Wall Solution

Clarity Matrix G3 Video WallThe Clarity® Matrix® G3 LCD video wall system evolves the superior performance and mission-critical reliability of previous versions of the Clarity® Matrix® LCD video wall system to deliver the ultimate LCD video wall solution. Building on the achievements of the award-winning Clarity Matrix architecture, Clarity Matrix G3 combines the world's thinnest ultra-thin bezel LCD displays with industry-leading improvements in video processing, installation, management and off-board electronics to deliver a next-generation video wall solution.

Clarity Matrix G3 is available in standard (LX) high brightness (MX) 55" models. The series also offers options for protective Planar® ERO-LCD™ (Extended Ruggedness and Optics™) technology and interactive multitouch. Clarity Matrix G3 also features Planar® WallDirector™ software, which significantly reduces the time required to configure, operate and monitor the video wall.

Ultimate Visual Performance

Clarity Matrix G3 features the industry's narrowest bezels, with a width of only 0.88 mm between adjacent LCD displays, for a virtually seamless video wall solution. The Clarity Matrix G3 delivers uncompromising visual performance with outstanding image quality, perfectly aligned panels and ultra-high resolution. It also includes the Planar® EasyAxis™ mounting system, which offers a mounting depth of only 3.6" (91mm) - the thinnest in the industry - for perfect panel-to-panel alignment. Clarity Matrix G3 is available with Planar ERO-LCD, an optically bonded glass front that provides increased robustness and optical performance for public areas or interactive touch applications.

Advanced Video Wall Processing

Clarity Matrix G3 takes integrated video wall processing to a new level with the off-board Planar® WallDirector™ video controller, making it the first LCD video wall solution on the market to embed advanced video processing directly into the product, delivering up to (9) 1920x1080 outputs and full 3x3 video wall capability from a single 1U controller.

Planar® Big Picture Plus™ Video Wall Processing provides more extensive on-display and off-board video wall processing and can scale sources across the entire video wall or any section of the video wall, including multiple 4K @ 60Hz signals.

With 4K Quadview, users can combine content from a higher number of independent sources, overlay a smaller image on top of a larger one with Picture-in-Picture (PiP), and incorporate up to four unique image sources into a single display. Clarity Matrix G3 supports the latest 4K connectivity standards, including both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, giving customers flexibility in building their video infrastructure.

Integrated Synchronization with Genlock Technology

The Clarity Matrix G3 also features Planar® WallSync™ Genlock technology, making it the industry's first fully integrated synchronized video wall. Planar WallSync solves the challenges of genlocking and synchronizing video walls by integrating a Smart Genlock feature that automatically ensures perfectly synchronized video playback without manual configuration. Planar WallSync supports synchronization to both connected video sources and external home syncs.

Planar WallSync also corrects common video tearing artifacts that occur when playing videos with vertical content elements with horizontal movement or panning.

Designed for Mission-Critical Operations

Clarity Matrix G3 features a unique off-board electronics design for maximum reliability and minimum downtime. With the Planar Remote Power Supply® (RPS), Clarity Matrix G3 takes its unique architecture and mission-critical design to a new level. The Planar RPS features n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies, redundant AC input circuits, reduced thermal load, and status monitoring capabilities.

In the event of a failure, the video wall remains operational without interruption. For customers delivering highly sensitive information, the Clarity® Matrix® Fiber Video Extension Option provides a safer and longer distance option for extending video signals from the Clarity Matrix electronics to the displays.

Calibration and Uniformity Management

Clarity Matrix LCD video walls are factory calibrated to ensure the highest level of visual uniformity, right out of the box. In addition, Clarity Matrix G3 displays can be calibrated on-site using the optional Clarity® Matrix® ColorBalance™ calibration tool, which consists of a photo-optical sensor and software application that integrates seamlessly with the Planar Video Controller.
