Sharp P555-IR – 55" 4K UHD IR Touch Commercial Display - Discontinued

Product Overview

The Sharp NEC P555-IR is a 55-inch 4K UHD commercial display with factory pre-installed 10-point infrared (IR) touch, built for interactive digital signage, wayfinding, and collaborative commercial meeting spaces. The clear tempered glass IR touch system delivers accurate multi-touch interaction without reducing image clarity, while the wide color gamut U-IPS panel, SpectraView Engine color processing, and 700 cd/m2 brightness keep content vivid in bright commercial environments. For integrators specifying an interactive large format display with a cost-effective touch technology, the P555-IR offers professional panel quality on NEC's fully commercial P Series platform.

Product Description

The P555-IR pairs a 3840 x 2160 native resolution panel with NEC's proprietary SpectraView Engine, supporting more than 1.08 billion displayable colors (10-bit) and calibrated gamma profiles including sRGB, Rec. 1886, DICOM, and HDR formats. The pre-installed 10-point IR touch frame behind clear tempered glass supports natural multi-user interaction for kiosks, interactive wayfinding, training rooms, and corporate collaboration, and arrives factory-aligned so no field overlay installation is required. A full metal mechanical chassis provides the durability commercial deployments demand, with landscape and portrait installation flexibility for totems and vertical signage.

Connectivity supports real-world AV system integration: dual HDMI 2.0 and dual DisplayPort 1.4 inputs with HDCP, enhanced daisy chain outputs over both HDMI and DisplayPort for multi-display video distribution, plus USB, RS-232C, and LAN. Bidirectional external control via LAN or RS-232C ties the display into commercial control systems, and the Smart Display Module (SDM) slot accepts an optional Intel compute module so signage or kiosk software can run inside the display without an external player. Multi Picture Mode shows multiple simultaneous sources, failover input detection automatically switches to a backup feed if the primary signal drops, and NaViSet Administrator 2 software centralizes fleet management. The display is ENERGY STAR 8.0 certified and backed by a full 5-year commercial warranty.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the P555-IR and the P555-PT?

Both are 55" 4K P Series commercial touch displays. The P555-IR uses 10-point infrared touch behind clear tempered glass, while the P555-PT uses a 40-point projected capacitive (PCAP) overlay. IR touch is a cost-effective option for kiosks and wayfinding; PCAP offers higher touch-point counts for intensive multi-user collaboration.

Is the IR touch frame factory installed?

Yes. The 10-point IR touch system is pre-installed and aligned by Sharp NEC, so the display is interactive out of the box with no field overlay kit required.

Can the P555-IR run kiosk software without an external PC?

Yes. The Smart Display Module (SDM) slot accepts an optional Intel compute module, allowing signage CMS or kiosk applications to run directly inside the display.

How does the display integrate with AV control systems?

Bidirectional control over LAN and RS-232C supports standard commercial control processors for power, input switching, and status monitoring, and NaViSet Administrator 2 software handles centralized multi-display management.

Can it be installed in portrait orientation?

Yes. The P555-IR supports landscape and portrait installation for kiosks, totems, and vertical signage layouts.

What warranty is included?

The P555-IR carries a full 5-year commercial warranty from Sharp NEC. Contact Creation Networks for extended coverage and deployment support options.
