Planar HD137" DirectLight Pro Series Complete, Full HD/UHD Diagonal Video Wall, w/WallDirector VC, wall mounts, trim, cables and spares - 998-3563-00

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Pro HD137" Complete (998-3563-00) is a TAA-compliant, front-serviceable fine pixel pitch LED video wall delivering Full HD (1920x1080) output at a 137-inch diagonal for commercial indoor fixed installations. This Planar DirectLight Pro LED video wall ships as a turn-key package with LED display cabinets, Planar WallDirector Video Controller, wall mounts, trim, signal and power cables, remote control, and spare modules — covering everything required for a standard AV integrator or facilities-managed deployment. Cabinet pixel pitches of 0.945, 1.26, 1.575, and 1.89mm let the system be specified to the viewing distances typical of conference rooms, boardrooms, and training rooms where 137-inch formats are most commonly deployed. The system is rated for 24/7 continuous runtime and is backed by the Planar EverCare Lifetime Limited Warranty for North American installations.

Product Description

The DirectLight Pro cabinet family uses a 72.5mm (2.85-inch) depth profile in both 27-inch and 36-inch cabinet sizes, keeping the display footprint compact and compatible with standard wall construction without requiring deep wall recesses or significant structural modification. All LED modules and internal electronics are front-accessible, so routine module replacement and service can be performed without rear wall clearance, an important consideration for both original installations and equipment-room-constrained retrofit environments. The included WallDirector Video Controller is a 1U rack-mounted unit accepting input resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz via four HDMI 2.0 ports with HDCP 2.2, with HDR support and full network, RS-232, USB, and IR remote control. The HD137 configuration at 1920x1080 produces a 9.9-foot wide by 5.6-foot tall display surface, well-suited for conference rooms and boardrooms where the display is viewed at distances of 10 to 20 feet. Maximum brightness of 1,000 cd/m² with calibration on and a 7,000:1 contrast ratio handle mixed content including presentation graphics, video conferencing feeds, and data dashboards. LED panels carry a 100,000-hour typical lifetime at half brightness, supporting long commercial deployment cycles without planned replacement.
