Planar HD164" DirectLight Pro Series Complete, Full HD/UHD Diagonal Video Wall, w/WallDirector VC, wall mounts, trim, cables and spares - 998-3564-00

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Pro HD164" Complete (998-3564-00) is a TAA-compliant, front-serviceable fine pixel pitch LED video wall delivering Full HD (1920x1080) output at a 164-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, enabling AV integrators and facilities teams to deploy large-format LED displays without piecing together individual components. Available cabinet pixel pitches of 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8mm allow the system to be specified for a range of viewing distances, from close-proximity conference and briefing room environments to larger multi-purpose and all-hands room deployments. The system is rated for 24/7 continuous operation and carries the Planar EverCare Lifetime Limited Warranty for North American installations.

Product Description

Planar DirectLight Pro cabinets are available in 27-inch and 36-inch formats, both maintaining a 72.5mm (2.85-inch) depth profile, enabling installation in locations where cabinet depth is a constraint. All cabinet electronics and LED modules are accessible from the front face of the display, eliminating rear wall access requirements for routine service and module replacement. The WallDirector Video Controller is a 1U rack-mounted unit supporting video input resolution up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz via four HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2, and providing control over the display via IR remote, RS-232, USB, and network. The HD164 configuration delivers 1920x1080 resolution with 1.26mm to 1.89mm pixel pitch options depending on cabinet model selected, targeting viewing distances appropriate for medium-to-large conference rooms and briefing centers. Maximum brightness at 1,000 cd/m² with calibration on provides consistent luminance in most controlled-ambient-light commercial environments, and the 7,000:1 contrast ratio handles both bright video content and detailed data visualization. LED panels are rated for 100,000 hours typical lifetime at half brightness, supporting extended commercial deployment cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pixel pitch should I specify for my viewing distance?

As a general rule, minimum comfortable viewing distance in feet approximates the pixel pitch in millimeters multiplied by 10. For the 1.26mm pitch option, minimum comfortable viewing is approximately 12 feet; for 1.89mm, approximately 19 feet. Creation Networks can provide a formal viewing distance analysis for your specific room geometry.

Is the WallDirector controller included with this purchase?

Yes. The Planar WallDirector Video Controller is included in the 998-3564-00 package. It is a 1U rack-mounted unit supporting 4K input at 60Hz, HDR, and four HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2.

Can I use a Brompton or Colorlight controller instead of WallDirector?

Yes. The DirectLight Pro cabinets are compatible with Brompton Technology and Colorlight controllers. If your integration uses an existing Brompton or Colorlight infrastructure, the cabinets can be connected to those systems. Confirm controller compatibility and cabling requirements with Creation Networks before finalizing the design.

Is this system TAA compliant?

Yes. The Planar DirectLight Pro HD164" Complete is TAA compliant, qualifying it for U.S. federal, state, and local government purchasing programs including GSA schedules.

What installation configurations does the cabinet support?

The DirectLight Pro cabinets support standard flat wall, forward tilt up to 10 degrees, 90-degree exterior corner, and concave faceted curve installations. This flexibility accommodates non-standard architectural wall geometries without custom cabinet fabrication.

What warranty does this system carry?

Planar covers this product under the EverCare Lifetime Limited Warranty for North America, providing lifetime coverage of the display hardware under standard commercial operating conditions.
