Public displays in everyday use
Large format LCD public displays are now to be found everywhere. As information displays they can be seen in all aspects of transportation, in hotels and museums, on the trading floors of international finance, in the medical sector, as well as in the monitoring and control rooms of manufacturing plants and for presenting detailed simulations.
They also find a tremendous variety of different uses at the point-of-sale in digital signage and retail signage applications: in department stores, shopping malls, bars/restaurants, fitness studios, on exhibition booths or in conference centres etc.
How do NEC’s public displays differ from conventional flat-screen TVs?
Display solutions, particularly those in daily, continuous use, have to function professionally, problem-free and reliably for long periods. Device malfunctions can often lead to costly problems and expense.
Conventional flat-screen televisions have been designed for domestic use and are rarely made to operate beyond the average of four hours daily TV consumption. The maximum continuous stress these devices have been designed to operate under is only ten to twelve hours. However, NEC’s public displays have been designed for reliable operation over long periods of time. TV appliances also have a lifetime of approx. 27,000 hours – professional public displays have been designed for an operational running time of up to 50,000 hours. This means a doubled product lifetime.
NEC‘s public displays in the MULTEOS series and the MultiSync are remarkable due to their numerous high-quality technical characteristics as well as their robust design. For example, a special thermal design maintains

the temperature of the display at a constant level so that even in extreme operational environments longevity is assured. Alternatively, the innovative dust protection technology is also noteworthy. Both these aspects are rarely to be seen, if at all, in a flat-screen TV.
In format flexibility, NEC’s public display solutions also beat conventional flat­screen TVs hands down. Whilst TV appliances can only be installed or placed on a stand in the usual 16:10 landscape format or horizontal mode, public displays also allow the screen to be turned through 90 degrees into portrait mode. This is particularly advantageous for digital signage applications.
As standard, functions are also incorporated which guard against image retention, i.e. burn-in, which is an ongoing danger. They not only guarantee excellent image reproduction but also extend the operating life of the display.
A perfect technology in a designer outfit
NEC‘s public display solutions sparkle with numerous innovative, technical characteristics, with a long product life span, as well as a high-quality, timeless and elegant design. They allow themselves to be integrated effortlessly into every type of environment – whether as an eyecatcher in a “stand-alone“ solution or integrated within a bespoke installation.
The higher initial investment cost of NEC’s public displays, as compared with commercial flat-screen TVs, rapidly pays for itself.
A maximum degree of flexibility
NEC’s public displays are genuinely multi-functional monitors and almost unbeatable in the variety of their different applications.
A special option slot at the rear of the cabinet, e.g. for a built-in PC, allows them to be equipped for use as a completely independent media station.
In addition, an optionally available CAT5 receiver, HDSDI card, or DVI daisy chain board can also all be integrated within NEC’s public displays.

CAT 5 receiver system
The CAT 5 receiver solution for NEC’s public displays guarantees an
almost loss-free over distances up to 600m, so that the PC connected to the display doesn’t have to be located in the immediate vicinity. This means a high degree of freedom and flexibility for the types of possible installation.
All models in the MultiSync® 20 series and MULTEOS series come with an option slot, giving them great flexibility and the ability to be connected to almost anything.
The option slot contains connections for a built­in PC, a CAT 5 receiver, an HD SDI board or a DVI daisy chain board.
uncompromising picture quality even over long distances, and it is also highly cost effective.
Using the Minicom DS Vision 3000 system, NEC’s CAT 5 receiver pro vides solutions to the problems that can often occur with digital signage applications: The signal can be transported
The CAT 5 system can also function as a splitter when multiple displays with the same content are required. The maximum configuration allows 256 public displays to be supplied with content from a single PC with 100% synchronicity. Clearly this is a cost effective solution compared with having to deploy multiple PCs.
A fully integrated modular solution without any cabling has been developed for NEC’s public displays with an option slot. Removing the need for external power supplies and external equipment has both aesthetic and practical advantages.

Built-in PC – A fully integrated PC module solution
Most public display installations are controlled by one or several PCs, which often take up valuable space or have to be hidden from view for aesthetic reasons. Using NEC Display Solutions‘ built-in PC, NEC’s public displays with an option slot can be equipped with a fully functional PC – all fully integrated into the display without cabling or an external power supply.
The built-in PC fits into the option slot located to the side of the LCD public display which makes for easy access. Only one person is needed to install the PC or exchange it for servicing, without requiring any other assistance. The display also does not have to be dismounted from the wall or from its stand.

(HD)SDI card
The (HD)SDI (High Definition Serial Digital Interfaces) standard is important, particularly within professional broadcasting, but also in the medical sector (e.g. in endoscopy).
The optional (HD)SDI card has been optimised for NEC’s displays to allow such signals, as well as SDI signals, to be perfectly processed and imaged on the public displays. SDI signals up to 300m and HDSDI signals up to 100m distant are supported.
The card contains a stereo audio function, as well as a loop-through function with reclocking & equalising at up to 1.485 Gbits/seconds. Using the option slot it can be completely integrated into the NEC public display – without any cabling or external power supply.
Specially designed for the medical sector, for example in endoscopy, a NEC MULTEOS display with DICOM profile, FHD and HDSDI card is the only such product solution on the market.
achieved using a DVI daisy chain board which can be completely integrated within the option slot of NEC’s public displays.
There are also cost advantages when compared to external DVI splitter solutions. DVI boards which have been supplied with a high-quality DVI cable are much more cost-effective than a high-quality splitter and its necessary DVI cabling.
DVI daisy chain board
Daisy-chaining the RS-232 signal and an analogue PC signal is of course possible, but NEC’s DVI daisy chain board also offers the possibility of daisy­chaining the PC signal using DVI-D. Up to 10 displays can be connected together using this option, and it can be equally used for smaller and larger video-wall applications (e.g. TileMatrix) as well as back-to-back installations.
The great advantage in comparison to an analogue connection is that even with 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60 Hz there is no discernible or qualitative
