Product Overview
The Sharp MA491-MPI4E is a 49-inch Wide Color Gamut 4K UHD professional display with an integrated Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 running the NEC MediaPlayer (MPi4E) digital signage platform, designed for self-contained digital signage deployments where eliminating external media player hardware simplifies installation and reduces total cost of ownership. The MA-series WCG panel, SpectraView Engine, and 500 cd/m2 brightness provide the commercial-grade display foundation.

The MA491-MPI4E uses the 49-inch U-IPS WCG panel at 3840x2160, 500 cd/m2, 8000:1 contrast (local dimming), with SpectraView Engine color calibration. The pre-installed Raspberry Pi CM4 runs the NEC MediaPlayer with CMS platform for onboard content playback, scheduling, and network CMS connectivity without external hardware. The Intel SDM Small slot remains available for additional peripheral integration. HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 daisy-chain loopout, failover input detect, and NaViSet Administrator 2 LAN management complete the commercial specification.
