LAS VEGAS, June 18, 2008—Planar Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: PLNR), a worldwide leader in specialty display solutions, today at InfoComm in Las Vegas debuted new image processing software that gives customers complete management of control room visual information. Fully integrated with the industry's only in-cube processing solution, the new Indisys™ Director supports Planar's ongoing strategy to provide customers with turnkey offerings that simplify and enhance the operation of specialty displays in demanding control room environments.
Designed for a variety of applications including utility control rooms, security and surveillance, traffic control, government, network operations centers and emergency call centers, Indisys Director offers complete end-to-end management of video and data acquisition, distribution and display, making it a unique, cohesive solution that is customizable for specific market needs. Indisys Director helps improve workflow and productivity by providing control over key data such as event triggers, drag and drop sources, presets, and live source and video wall thumbnails. Additionally, Indisys Director communicates with the Indisys in-cube processor in order to manage and control the video wall itself. Indisys Director allows the operator to power cubes on and off, launch Set it and Forget it (SiFi™) Auto Color Balance on the video wall, and report and respond to conditions such as system temperature and lamp life. "Integrators and end users are looking for a more efficient way to manage mission-critical control room visual information, with a single point of control over all elements of the video wall system," said Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice president and general manager for Planar's Control Room and Signage Business Unit. "Indisys Director’s full source-to-pixel control is designed to meet this need by consolidating more functionality into a single, more intuitive management application." Indisys Director is part of Planar's latest generation Indisys image processing system that features Indisys Packet Protocol (IP2). IP2 a high-speed digital transport protocol that helps automate set-up and improves overall performance. Indisys with IP2 includes the industry's only in-cube processor, which improves video wall control and simplifies cable routing. The in-cube processor provides 4 PIP, freeze frame, image scaling, visual filters, snapshots, display monitoring and management. Additionally, Indisys IP2 self-discovers the Indisys image processing components in a network in order to simplify initial set-up and configuration. Indisys IP2 provides more efficient use of bandwidth and digitizes and transports visual data at a full 16Gbps while employing a parallel architecture allowing all sources to be present anywhere on any size wall. These features enable scalability to larger video wall systems. |
