Sharp NEC Display Solutions announced its new MultiSync Message Series, which features displays from the ME, M and MA Series; aimed at presentation and signage.

Introduced in December, the ME Series is the ideal large format display with all the features needed at a cost-conscious price point. The ME series is a mainstream digital signage display that can support both landscape and portrait orientations while also allowing individuals to customize their displays to fit their applications and needs through Intel Smart Display Module (SDM) or the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. The ME series has external control capabilities through both LAN and RS232C, allowing for full compatibility with NEC NaViSet Administrator 2 software as well as other third-party control systems.

The M Series steps up the benefits by including all features of the ME Series, but allowing for 24/7 runtime capabilities along with including a 500-candela-per-square-meter, anti-reflective, high-haze panel and integrated ambient light sensor to optimize visual impact and clarity depending on different in-room lighting conditions. All M series products also include a full metal chassis, carrying handles and integrated cooling fans, allowing for easier installation, a more ruggedized feel and greater insurance of maintaining consistent image quality through extended applications.

These displays are available in 43, 49, 55 and 65-inch sizes and are ideal for hallway signage in a higher education facility, a welcome sign in a corporate office or for presentations in a corporate boardroom, among a variety of other applications.

The MA Series is the top-of-the-line with a wide color gamut and anti-reflective panels combined with NEC’s SpectraView Engine. This color management technology was originally developed for NEC’s color-critical desktop monitors and allows for complete and professional color control, while behind-the-scenes luminance stabilization technology ensures the display has a consistent image output for a longer period of time compared to traditional commercial displays. This allows for a unique level of color precision and accuracy to be achieved for vivid and impactful messaging and a more impressive digital signage experience. The MA Series is available in 43, 49 and 55-inch displays.

A key feature of the MA Series is its connectivity selection and daisy chaining capabilities with 8K support. All MA Series displays have the ability to daisy chain the HDMI or DisplayPort signals and with DisplayPort, customers can have the choice between using Single-Stream Transport (SST) or Multi-Stream Transport (MST) via the DisplayPort 1.4 out connections. This feature is particularly attractive for industries such as quick-serve restaurants, where the MST functionality can be used to showcase up to four separate but simultaneous image streams, such as an entire menu board, from a single source.
