Brand new aesthetically-focused thin-depth design allows for
seamless integration into any digital signage environment while
maintaining the commercial ruggedness necessary for retail,
education, restaurant and corporate signage
Beyond Standard Signage
Create beautiful imagery at a cost-conscious price point with the new fullycommercial NEC C Series displays. A modern and contemporary design with
a mere 45mm depth and improved visual aesthetics allow for the smooth and
stylish integration of these displays into any environment. These products
contain full metal mechanical structures enabling them to be utilized in
situations where robustness is a key factor. They also have a wide range of
the latest connectivity interfaces including multiple HDMI connections and
a built-in media player to allow for many avenues of displaying content. The
NEC C series boasts 400 cd/m
efficient readability and less reflectivity of ambient light that would normally
take away from the imagery on the display. These products are ideal for 24/7
digital signage in retail, education, restaurant and corporate environments

C431/C501/C551
Blue ON LED and Ambient Light Sensor
New mechanical structure allows for sleeker LED and ambient light sensor design. Auto dimming
of the LED backlights can be utilized through the ambient light sensor allowing for the brightness
to change depending on the external lux in the room of installation.
NaViSet Administrator 2
This software is an all-in-one remote support solution that runs from
a central location and provides monitoring, asset management and
control functionality of the majority of NEC display devices and Windows
computers. It is ideal for multi-device installations over arrays.
Real Time Clock and Full Scheduler
These displays have the ability to load
the current date and time as well as
up to 30 different schedules to run
throughout the course of the week.
There is also a Holiday Mode built
into the scheduler that allows a user to
program all holidays throughout the
year and can be set so that the display
does not turn on during those times.
Custom Input Detect / Failover
This feature allows for the customer to prioritize up to 3 inputs so that if a primary source goes down,
the display will automatically switch to whatever the customer has prioritized next.
Typical Display
BLANK SCREEN
If the source fails, this results in a blank screen
C Series
Key Guide
New Key Guide function allows for easier OSD navigation when manually controlling the unit via the
buttons on the back of the display by adding a graphic on the screen that directs the customer to the
correct key layout in both landscape and portrait modes.
EXIT SET MUTE
AUTOMATIC
If the source fails, the display automatically switches to the next prioritized
source, allowing for zero down time on the display
Ultra Thin Depth
With a mere 45mm of total depth, these displays allow you to get closer to the wall
than traditional display. This allows for easier installations due to a lighter chassis
as well as unobtrusive mounting and easier accessability in situations where ADA
compliance is of importance.
