Planar DirectLight Ultra Input Chassis – 1.2mm (TAA)

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Ultra Input Chassis for 1.2mm pitch is the primary signal-path unit in an Ultra LED video wall. It receives the CAT6 connection from the Planar WallDirector Video Controller and distributes signal onward to distribution and core chassis. This chassis is configured specifically for 1.2mm pitch Ultra deployments and is TAA compliant. It is an infrastructure component of the DirectLight Ultra system rather than a display.

Product Description

The Planar DirectLight Ultra Series provides always-on, high-resolution LED video walls with pixel pitches from 0.7mm to 1.2mm for mission-critical applications. This Input Chassis (SKU 933-1612-01) is the main unit in the Ultra signal path: it takes the CAT6 connection from the WallDirector Video Controller (VC) and sends signal to the distribution and core chassis that drive the LED modules. Configured for 1.2mm pitch walls, it works within the Ultra architecture that pairs MicroLED modules with an off-board power supply and Planar ActivAlign self-adjusting alignment. The chassis is TAA compliant, supporting federal, defense, and regulated procurement. Proper signal-path planning between input, distribution, and core chassis is essential to wall reliability, and our team can help map the topology. This chassis is part of our broader Planar collection at Creation Networks. Exact port counts, cable runs, and chassis quantities depend on wall size and layout; contact Creation Networks to confirm. We can scope the complete Ultra signal chain for your project.
