This configuration includes one LCD module, the required power supply modules, standard video controller electronics, 2km single-mode fiber modules, and a landscape mount. It is TAA-compliant and supplied under vendor part number 998-3287-01.

Product Description

The MX55X3 belongs to the Planar Clarity Matrix G3 family, a video wall platform designed for 24x7 mission-critical visualization with outstanding tiled performance and minimal installation depth. This 55" display pairs a commercial-grade IPS LCD panel with LED backlight technology to deliver 700 nits of brightness and consistent off-axis color, suiting control rooms and high-ambient-light environments. The narrow 2.6mm tiled bezel keeps seams between displays minimal across the array, producing a cohesive image when tiled into larger configurations. This Fiber Extension configuration adds 2km single-mode fiber modules, allowing the video controller electronics to sit far from the wall itself, which helps in installations where equipment rooms are remote from the display location. The package includes one LCD module, the required power supply modules, standard video controller electronics, and a landscape mount to support deployment. Planar's off-board electronics architecture keeps the displays shallow and serviceable. Note that Cat6A STP cabling and connectors are required for Clarity Matrix systems; confirm cabling needs for your run.
