years and Planar has
designed a display
especially for the most
demanding missioncritical environments
High Quality DLP Imaging
Planar employs the latest TI Digital MicroMirror Devices in our displays. These worry-free
semiconductor-based imaging chips last well beyond 100,000 hours of continuous use.
Redundant LED Illumination
We illuminate the DLP chip with highly-ecient and cooler-running red, green and blue LED
light sources. Individual colors are driven by a separate LED driver circuit. And on each color
die are 6 in-parallel LEDs ensuring another layer of redundancy and color stability over time.
Long Illumination Lifetime
Illumination systems are the most important element of rear projection displays. Clarity
LED3 Series provides industry-leading illumination lifetime up to 100,000 hours in Eco mode.
60,000 hours of operation in normal, full power mode.
Single, All-in-one Chassis
Instead of assemble-at-the-site kits, Planar employs one single uni-body chassis that
fully surrounds and protects the displays’ inter-workings. It has the strength to hold up to
eight rows high and interconnects to adjacent display cubes with precision. Cable runs
are designed not to hinder or interfere with the display’s operation. It has all the needed
accurate mounting points for a permanent set up with bases and screens, maintaining the
screen’s important atness. Inside each component bolts to the chassis for vibration-free
operation.

Superior Quality
by Design
Compatible Base Structures Maintain Stability
Clarity LED3 Series includes a full set of bases custom designed
to t properly and keep the video wall at and stable on the
oor. Added structure is available for high video walls. Video
wall processing equipment is mounted in the bases for near-
by and cool operation. Planar provides the highly-machined
bracketry to permanently install the wall.
Modular Design Keeps Temperatures Down
Excessive heat has a negative eect on electronic components.
Clarity LED3 Series displays are designed so all internal
components are separated on the chassis. This lowers the
ambient heat, which ensures consistent, reliable and long-
lasting video wall performance so you can be concerned about
what’s on the video wall and not what’s inside.
Built for Different Environments
Our multi-layer screens are pre-acclimatized so they remain
stable for years. The chassis is all aluminum and properly coated
so no oxidation will aect the inter-workings. All components are
shielded from one another. Our positive-pressure display also keep
all the dust out of the chassis for clear and clean imagery.
Brilliant, Colorful Images
Precise Professional Optics
Planar uses only the best commercial glass in making its optical
lens stacks for the internal projectors. Made for 24 hours of
continuous use, these lenses provide stunningly sharp and uniform
imagery across the screen.
Broad Color Gamut LEDs
Clarity LED3 Series displays have bright, wide color gamut LEDs
tuned for luminance and chromicity, provide a stunning colorful
array of light to the screen. The LEDs are perceived by the human
eye to be brighter than what is measured. These LEDs create very
dark blacks and great contrast between colors. Multiple colors
are projected simultaneously. Secondary colors are employed
(cyan, yellow, and magenta) to improve the perceived color range,
displaying 16 million colors at 10 bits deep.
Typical Lamp-lit Video Wall
Clarity LED3 Series
Large, Full-size DLP Chips
DLP semiconductor technology provides superior contrast,
clear and sharp pixel denition, color consistency, and accurate
reprensentation of the content. This eliminates blur, burn in, dark
spots, aging and other image challenges.
Planar Natural Color Improves Visualization
To counter some of the common issues with overly saturated LED
colors, Planar employs a unique proprietary color space tuning
technique, called Planar Natural Color, that intelligently maps a
broader color palette to content, producing saturated and life-like
colors.

The advanced construction of its screens
enables Planar Clarity LED3 Series
displays to deliver seamless images,
regardless of the size of the wall. This
minimizes screen gaps, or mullions, to
less than one mm or pixel, while still
retaining our systems’ pioneering full
front-service access design.
Seeing more with near-seamless screens
Precision Screen Design Ensures
Clear and Sharp Images
Clarity LED3 Series screens are multi-
layered for strength and functionality, with
the tightest tolerances for t, atness and
viewing. The fresnel is optically accurate,
consistent and sourced from the best
materials makers, as is the outer screen
itself. Both are designed for clear and
clean use over 10 years without aging,
coloring or exing. Both are assembled
into the metal frame without staples,
stitches, clamps or other visible items that
would block the image. The screens are
designed to be no more than .1mm apart
when xed to the cube chassis, or .7mm
apart if you select front-removable screens,
making the gaps between the screens
almost invisible.
Choices of Screens Improves
Perception
The Clarity LED3 Series screens come in
two choices: a standard angle view screen
oering a bright image and a wide view
screen oering a slightly less bright image
but more consistent image across a wide
viewing angle. The rst is best for modest
walls or curved walls, the second for larger
and more at walls. Clarity LED3 Series
video walls can be designed with a concave
curve, or facets, to improve the ergonomic
visibility of the content to a room of users.
Arcs of these curves can be as large as 25˚.
Wide Choice of Distinct
Resolutions
Clarity LED3 Series displays come in
three basic resolutions and two dierent
aspect ratios to serve any application or
budget. Screen diagonals range from 50
to 80 inches. Pixel pitches vary from as
microscopic as .13mm between pixels
to innitesimal at .06mm between each
pixel. These minuscule sizes provide
and enormously detailed image for any
application.

Worry-free Operation
Clarity LED3 Series displays have all the needed cable runs, cable connections,
rack options for video wall-based processing needs and bases in many height
choices that are accurate to-the-fraction-of-a-millimeter connection brackets.
Time-Saving Advanced Motorized Optical Alignment
With the ease of using a remote, a single technician can quickly and easily align
the optics on the video wall. The optics on the video wall can be easily adjusted
later if needed without the need for manual set screws.

experience with dierent video wall applications, Planar created Clarity Display
Proles. These preset and customizable color spaces have been optimized for
a range of specic video wall applications, harnessing the power of the LED
illumination and producing a better visual experience for leading video wall
applications, Including:
• Control Room
• Low Ambient Light
• Security
Set it and Forget it Automatic Color Balance
A key feature a display's visual optimization is its capacity to achieve consistent color and
brightness across displays in a video wall. A video wall lacking this capability is likely to
oer a compromised image quality, potentially drawing attention to a mismatch between
the displays rather than attention to the content on the displays. Planar's Set it and Forget it (SiFi3™) technology allows operators to realize
superior brightness and color balance at the touch of a button. A proprietary algorithm calculates the optimal color and brightness across
the video wall and adjusts each display accordingly. SiFi3 completes this process - measuring, calculating and balancing - in about one
minute, saving time, especially for larger video walls. SiFi ensures every Clarity LED3 Series display in the video wall operates at a user-
dened power or brightness level over the lifetime of the video wall, and in concert with the other displays in the wall.

Displays Configured for Your Environment
For video wall environments with
critical power or ambient light
requirements, the Clarity LED3
Series with SiFi3 technology and
Planar WallNet can easily adapt to
these challenging environments.
The Clarity LED3 Series is fully
configurable to operate the video
wall at either a fixed power level or a
fixed brightness over its lifetime.
Fixed Power Operation
When video wall power distribution is limited,
a Clarity LED3 Series video wall can be set to an
operator-dened, constant power level. Over time,
LED illumination diminishes but, by dening lower
power levels, it extends the life of the illumination
module- up to 100,000 hours running at a continuous
power level.

EASE OF
INSTALLATION &
SERVICEABILITY
Planar Clarity LED3 Series displays are designed for easy installation and
service. In new or retrot situations, Clarity LED3 Series displays can be set- up
in hours, rather than the days required for most other systems.
Quiet and Cool Operation
With our high ecient LEDs, separated components and
low power operation, less fan cooling is needed, making
displays quieter than ever before. With less power use
and power waste, the video wall stays cool and so do the
operators.
Network Control
Planar WallNet and or Indisys™ Processing allows operators
to use a web-based interface to monitor and control
Planar displays—and it can automatically send email alerts
if a problem is detected. Conguration is simple and gives
users easy access to multiple display status views, network
features and video wall administration tools. Plus, software
updates are available with the click of a mouse.
Designed for Easy Maintenance
Easy-to-read diagnostic lights and screens on the main
input electronics boards give early and specic notice of any
impeding issues. Planar Wallnet and Indisys Processing can
do the same over the network. Planar introduced both rear
and front service displays to allow easy and comfortable
access for maintenance from the front of the wall or the rear.
With a modular design, all internal components are easy to
reach, adjust or replace, in the rare case this is needed. The
one consumable part in these modern displays is the air
lter, which can be changed from outside the display.
Each Clarity LED3 Series display is front and rear accessible, eliminating the
need to select a specic display model.
Front access allows for full service with zero rear clearance.
Multiple Processing Choices Adapt Each Video
Wall to Your Needs
Planar provides a full range of image processing solutions
that set the industry standard for performance, power
and versatility - whether you want to broadcast a single
image across multiple screens, a single image across a
single display or display several dierent feeds within a
single display. From Planar's robust Indisys Extensity Image
Processing for larger, more demanding applications to the
easy-to-use Clarity VCS Video Wall Processor for medium-
size systems, Planar provides a choice of world-class content
management solutions to best t your application needs
and requirements.
