UniSee 500+ introduces smart local dimming in the 500-nit LCD segment. Enhanced inter-panel communication and advanced color, brightness, and contrast calibration are designed in. The platform is EMC Class B certified for reduced electromagnetic emissions; heat radiation has also been lowered, and it is TAA-compliant.
The Black Box Emerald DESKVUE PE receiver allows simultaneous access and multi-viewing of up to 16 different physical or virtual systems. With any DESKVUE model, all systems are displayed as individual windows on up to four 4K monitors, including one ultrawide curved 5K monitor. Users can arrange system “tiles” or “windows” in any way to focus their main tasks in the center. Switching of the systems happens automatically in the background as users perform their tasks without them even noticing the system change, removing any need for manual switching commands. Emerald AV WALL, a software feature inside Emerald DESKVUE, makes it easy to display a single source from an Emerald system on a video wall for viewing by a larger group. The solution directly supports a 2×2 video wall, and through additional units, users can expand to up to 4×4 supported monitors.

The Datapath Aetria Touch panel allows quick, easy management of content displayed on any video wall within the Aetria environment. The 10.1” touch panel is designed to sit on an operator’s desk or be affixed to a wall and connects directly to the Aetria control network via an Ethernet connection with optional POE. Secured using device encryption and Aetria User Rights Management, users can select the video wall they’d like to manage and open and close layout files as the situation demands. The additional, optional Aetria Touch Pro interface allows users to open sources as individual windows and use touch gestures to place them on the wall, sizing and positioning as needed. For whole-wall collaboration, windows can be quickly maximized across the video wall when an issue occurs and restored to their original position once the situation is resolved.
The Digital Projection Radiance LED EV Series is designed for image clarity and detail in environments dictated by short viewing distances. Including Micro LED technology in both pixel pitch 0.9mm and 1.2mm, the new EV Series is well-suited for critical viewing in commercial applications, such as small and medium-size boardrooms and command and control facilities. Other features include peak brightness up to 1,200 nits (excellent for HDR10 content), contrast up to 20,000:1, 100 percent (100%) NTSC and DCI-P3 color gamut, and a wider viewing angle (170 degrees horizontal/170 degrees vertical). The 0.9 mm MicroLED solution is more efficient to manufacture than SMD technology, bringing the price down for this category. Power consumption is also significantly less.
