The Clarity® Matrix® LCD Video Wall System is the ultimate video wall solution for applications seeking the very best visual
performance and exibility to accommodate the most mission-critical needs.
Planar’s unique design approach optimizes the thinnest bezel LCD in the industry for 24x7 operation, minimizes installation
depth and simplies design, installation and service of the video wall. With a tiled bezel width as small as 1.7mm, the LCD
video wall system includes the integrated Planar® EasyAxis™ Mounting System and an o-board electronics and power
supply architecture, reducing total-cost-of-ownership while delivering the most reliable LCD video wall.
Clarity Matrix
LCD VIDEO WALL SYSTEM
Superior Visual Performance and Mission-Critical Reliability
The Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall System was designed and developed by display industry
experts to address the challenges faced by all video wall installations: mounting and alignment,
reliability and extended operation, service and maintenance access and simple, eective image
processing and management.
At the heart of Clarity Matrix is a distributed design that takes heat, complexity and potential
points-of-failure o the LCD display and places it with a centrally located, easily accessible and
highly reliable rack-mounted system.

The Clarity Matrix family is a complete line up of LCD
video wall display sizes and options to suit the needs in
a wide variety of applications.
Most Comprehensive Line-Up:
Supports cable lengths of 500 ft (152.4 m)
with no additional hardware
Power supply module can drive as many as
eight displays
Big Picture Plus Processing
Clarity Matrix supports a wide range of processing options to display sources on the video wall. With Planar® Big Picture Plus™ Video Wall Processing, Clarity
Matrix allows sources to be scaled across the entire video wall or any section of the video wall. To simplify set-up of Planar Big Picture Plus, Clarity Matrix has
position sensors built into the LCD that determine
its location within the array and scale the sources
across the video wall automatically, saving hours of
set-up time. Planar Big Picture Plus processing also
allows ultra-high resolution content, up to 4K, to be
spread over multiple displays at native resolution.
For more complex congurations, Clarity Matrix
supports all leading image processing and digital
signage software solutions including the Clarity®
Visual Control Station™ (VCS™) Video Wall Processor
and Planar® Indisys® Video Wall Processor.
Flexible built-in windowing capability
Fanless LCD module for
whisper-quiet operation
Tiled bezel width as
small as 1.7 mm
Clarity Matrix with Planar ERO technology
protects surface and can be touch enabled
Perfect alignment with
Planar EasyAxis Mounting System
O-board electronics eliminates
need for outlets behind displays
Superior Visual Performance
Clarity Matrix video walls deliver precision alignment and feature the thinnest mounted depth. With
smaller bezels, higher brightness, better uniformity and better alignment, Clarity Matrix video walls
provide the very best video performance of any LCD video wall available.
Perfect Alignment
The Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall System includes
the Planar EasyAxis Mounting System with built-
in precision alignment capabilities, an in-wall
service position and a super-slim depth as thin
as 3.6" (93mm). As a result, Clarity Matrix has the
thinnest footprint of any LCD video wall, making
it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) requirement for protruding objects of
less than four inches. Planar EasyAxis adjustment
cams facilitate precise 6-axis alignment ensuring
uniform, minimized image-to-image gap.
Mission Critical Design
Clarity Matrix's unique architecture provides a mission-critical design
with redundant power supplies, reduced thermal stress and health
and status monitoring capabilities. Clarity Matrix adds SNMP LAN
control, extra TIR prevention and ambient light sensing to extend
the life of the video wall. For further reliability, Clarity Matrix Power
Supply Modules include an n+1 redundant design so if any one Power
Supply Modules in the unit fails, the LCDs maintain uninterrupted
operation.
Fiber Video Extension Option
For government and military customers delivering highly sensitive information, the Clarity® Matrix®
Fiber Video Extension option provides a more secure and longer distance option for extending the
video signal from Clarity Matrix o-board electronics to Clarity Matrix LCD video wall displays. The
Fiber Video Extension provides integrated video extension over standard multi-mode or single-
mode ber optic cable. The Fiber Video Extension incorporates an embedded USB extension in the
ber optic cable, eliminating the need for a third party USB extender.
With Clarity Matrix, designing, installing and
servicing an LCD video wall has never been easier.
The architecture supports integrated video and
power extension up to 500 feet (152.4 meters)
eliminating compatibility and integrity worries and
costs associated with long-distance cable extenders
and AC power outlets behind the video wall. Fewer
cables are necessary to run to the video wall,
simplifying and reducing the cost of the system.
Clarity Matrix Architecture
Advantages:
• Rack-mount components placed in easy-to-
service location with no disruption at the video
wall
• Co-location of the rack-mount components with
sources or additional processing equipment for
easy access
• No third party long-distance extenders or cables
needed
• Entire video wall is controlled with a single
remote control, RS232 or LAN device, including
third party control systems
• Fewer long-distance cables run to the video wall
with on-wall, loop-out capabilities
• No AC outlets required behind the displays
• Automated brightness, color and gamma
balancing tools
Simplified Design,
Installation and
Service
Clarity Matrix Service Mode for in-wall servicing
Planar EasyAxis Mounting System simplies
and minimizes the time required to install and
maintain a perfectly aligned video wall
Redundant power supply
means greater up time
