Smart large format signage and meeting room displays

PN-B501

Sharp are proud to present a new range of smart large format displays for highly flexible installation and with embedded computer intelligence. The PN-B Series can be easily used in many signage and meeting room applications, where competitive pricing with flexible installation and powerful stand-alone operation is required. Signage and meeting room solutions are further supported by the Sharp Open Architecture Platform of 3rd party commercial applications running on the Android based embedded processor.

The PN-B Series is an exciting addition to the Sharp portfolio of professional monitors and is ideal for retail shops, hospitality areas, reception areas, lobbies, office training rooms and other corporate meeting spaces. With an elegant, slim and discreet cabinet design the PN-B Series offers ease of use and attractive installation in any environment.

The PN-B501 50” (125.7 cm) is designed for up to 16/7 display usage and is supported with a powerful system on chip (SoC) running the Android operating system. Further flexible performance upgrade is possible when using an optional module in the Mini-OPS extension slot.

Offering state-of-the-art, low energy LED backlight technology, for attractive slim bezels and shallow cabinet depth, Sharp’s PNB501 smart display is an elegant addition to any professional signage application. With solid reliability, superb durability and easy operation, the monitor can be installed in either portrait, landscape mode, face-up or even face-down applications. For even more eye-catching applications, special corner mounts can be used to suspend the monitor with wires.

The in-built daisy-chain capability via the DisplayPort video connection allows up to 4 units to be connected together to display mirrored content. Just another reason why Sharp’s LCD monitors can be employed to broaden your business potential.

The Sharp e-Signage S Player application for displaying content comes pre-installed on the Android SoC. Image or video content can be uploaded to the player via a USB memory and displayed in a variety of frame layouts and formats. The e-Signage S manager software comes in a variety of versions, to either run over the network or serve multiple networked screens - please talk to your Sharp representative for more information.

The integrated SoC also features an HTML5 internet browser for easy web-based signage applications streaming content over the network. Wireless networking with the PN-B501 is possible with the optional USB Wireless adapter PN-ZW01.

As an easy-to-use, and versatile solution with excellent image and sound quality, the PN-B501 sets a new standard for powerful and flexible signage applications.
