Sharp MA551-IR – 55" Wide Color Gamut 4K Display with IR Touch
Product Overview
The Sharp MA551-IR is a 55-inch Wide Color Gamut 4K UHD commercial display with pre-installed 10-point infrared touch, designed for interactive digital signage, retail engagement, and corporate presentation environments requiring large-format touch interaction with accurate color rendering. The MA-series platform combines a wide color gamut panel with Sharp/NEC's SpectraView Engine color calibration, 500 cd/m2 brightness, and Intel SDM expandability for versatile commercial AV deployments.
Product Description
The MA551-IR delivers 3840x2160 UHD resolution on a 55-inch wide color gamut LCD panel at 500 cd/m2. The pre-installed IR touch overlay supports 10-point simultaneous touch input through clear tempered glass for interactive kiosk and presentation use cases. SpectraView Engine provides hardware-level color management including gamma adjustment, color space emulation, and uniformity correction. The full metal chassis supports portrait and landscape installation. An open Intel SDM slot accepts optional compute modules including Intel SDM Small and Large, and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 support enables integrated NEC MediaPlayer operation. HDMI and DisplayPort daisy-chain loopout support multi-display configurations. Failover input switching, RS-232C and LAN control with NaViSet Administrator 2, multi-picture mode, and Energy Star 8.0 certification complete the commercial feature set.
