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.
