Planar EasyAxis mounts are designed to facilitate the thinnest profile LCD video wall while maintaining precise alignment. The combination of the mount plus the Clarity Matrix G3 LCD display’s blade-style design results in video walls that can measure 3.6 inches (91mm) in depth, screen to wall.

  • Page 24: Rack Equipment And Components

    To reduce heat issues and to make servicing of the video wall easier, there are two main Clarity Matrix G3 components that are separate from the LCD display itself. The video controller and remote power supplies can be mounted in an equipment rack that is typically located away from the video wall itself.

Please consult Planar Sales for video walls that are more than eight LCD Displays high. It is very important that there is proper cooling and ventilation for the entire video wall and its remotely-located equipment.

  • Page 47: Calculating Dc Power Requirements And Component Heat Load

    When determining heat load, the best practice is to calculate that figure based on maximum power usage. Typical power usage factors in content and level of brightness at which the video wall is expected to run. Planar estimates typical power assuming 80% display brightness. The actual typical power may vary depending on the application.
  • Page 48 (cable length in feet) EQ. 1 Note: The cable resistance here is valid only using the 10AWG wire sourced through Planar. Anything beyond 200ft may require a reduction in the displays attached to maintain an acceptable V from the RPS to the video wall.

  • Page 49: Configuring Sources For Display

    Configuring Sources for Display The Clarity Matrix G3 is a highly configurable system through the use of the WallDirector software to add, place and display sources on the video wall. However, it is important to understand how cabling of both displays and VCs can affect the physical limitations of the system.

  • Page 66: Use Of A Network Switch

    Use of a Network Switch Use of a Network Switch The rack components of the Clarity Matrix G3 system communicate with each other over an internal network connected through the LAN ports. Due to the nature of the physical connection of the ports on each piece of equipment is done in a serial manner if a piece of equipment fails, components down the chain will no longer have a communication path back to the master controller.
  • Page 67 If using a switch, be sure that only the WAN/LAN port is connected. Both ports being connected to the switch may result in data errors and/or poor performance. Clarity Matrix G3 LCD Video Wall System Installation Guide Page | 67...

  • Page 68: Genlock

    Genlock The video controller comes with the genlock feature automatically enabled. This feature automatically chooses the source that may be set up as the Planar Big Picture Plus if that configuration is chosen, or the system automatically selects the optimum internal clock to synchronize each video controller.
