Planar UHD219" DirectLight Pro Series Complete, Full HD/UHD Diagonal Video Wall, w/WallDirector VC, wall mounts, trim, cables and spares - 998-3566-00

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Pro LED video wall in the UHD219 configuration is a large-format, fine pixel pitch display system designed for permanent indoor installations requiring TAA-compliant commercial AV equipment. At 219 inches diagonal, this system delivers Full HD or UHD resolution content across an expansive canvas, making it a practical choice for auditoriums, government facilities, all-hands spaces, and high-traffic corporate environments where display scale matters. The DirectLight Pro series supports the Planar WallDirector Video Controller as well as third-party processing platforms from Brompton Technology and Colorlight, providing integrators with meaningful flexibility in signal processing and color calibration workflows. Front serviceability and high-bandwidth cabinet architecture reduce both initial deployment complexity and long-term maintenance costs.

Product Description

The Planar UHD219 DirectLight Pro Series Complete (SKU 998-3566-00) bundles the LED display cabinets, WallDirector Video Controller, wall mounting hardware, trim panels, interconnecting cables, and spare components into a single procurement unit. This approach reduces the coordination overhead that typically comes with large-format LED video wall projects, where mismatched component lead times and multi-vendor sourcing can delay installation schedules.

The TAA-compliant designation makes this system eligible for U.S. federal, defense, and government agency procurement under applicable GSA schedules. The DirectLight Pro series is built around a high-bandwidth cabinet design that simplifies the signal chain: fewer intermediate components mean fewer points of failure and less configuration work during commissioning. For installations requiring advanced color processing or specialized content management workflows, the system is compatible with Brompton Technology and Colorlight processing platforms in addition to the bundled WallDirector VC.

Front-side serviceability is a standard feature across the DirectLight Pro series. This means LED modules can be inspected, adjusted, or replaced from the front face of the display without requiring rear-wall access clearance — an important practical consideration for installations in permanent architectural spaces where rear access is restricted or impossible. The 219" diagonal configuration is well matched to large shared spaces where a single display needs to serve audiences across a wide seating or standing area.

Key Features

• Fine Pixel Pitch LED Technology — Delivers smooth, detailed imagery at the large screen sizes required for auditoriums and open-plan corporate spaces.
• 219" Diagonal Display Area — Provides sufficient screen real estate for large audiences, data-dense presentations, and multi-source content layouts.
• Full HD and UHD Resolution Support — Flexible resolution output accommodates both standard and 4K content pipelines without requiring full infrastructure upgrades.
• TAA Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying the system for U.S. government and federal procurement under GSA schedules.
• Front-Serviceable Design — Modules are accessed from the display face, eliminating rear-access requirements and reducing maintenance disruption in occupied spaces.
• High-Bandwidth Cabinet Architecture — Reduces deployment complexity by minimizing intermediate signal processing components and simplifying the overall system design.
• WallDirector VC Included — Planar's integrated video controller handles source management, display configuration, and content routing in a single platform.
• Brompton Technology and Colorlight Compatible — Supports third-party processing platforms for installations requiring advanced color science, HDR handling, or broadcast-grade calibration workflows.
• Complete System Bundle (SKU 998-3566-00) — Cabinets, controller, mounts, trim, cables, and spare parts included, reducing multi-vendor procurement complexity.
• Indoor Fixed Installation Design — Engineered for permanent deployment in climate-controlled commercial and government environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Planar DirectLight Pro 219" be configured to run at Full HD resolution instead of UHD?

Yes. The DirectLight Pro series supports both Full HD and UHD resolution output. Resolution selection is managed through the WallDirector Video Controller or compatible third-party processor. This flexibility allows organizations to match the display to their existing content pipeline without requiring a full infrastructure upgrade to 4K sources.

Is this system compatible with Brompton Technology processing equipment?

Yes. The DirectLight Pro series is validated for use with Brompton Technology processors, which are commonly used in broadcast and live events applications requiring precise HDR control and advanced color calibration. Colorlight processing is also supported. For installations using the bundled WallDirector VC, Brompton integration is an optional upgrade path rather than a requirement.

What does TAA compliance mean for our procurement process?

TAA compliance means the product meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, which is a prerequisite for procurement under most U.S. federal GSA schedule contracts. For government agencies, IT/facilities managers in federal environments, and contractors working on government projects, TAA compliance is often a mandatory specification. The DirectLight Pro 998-3566-00 meets this requirement.

Does front serviceability affect the structural depth or mounting requirements of the installation?

Front-serviceable displays do not require rear-wall clearance for maintenance access, which is a meaningful advantage in permanent installations. Standard wall mount depth requirements apply during initial installation, but ongoing module service can be performed from the front face without moving panels or accessing the wall cavity.

What is the lead time for the 998-3566-00 complete system?

Lead times for complete LED video wall systems vary based on current inventory and configuration. Contact Creation Networks directly for current lead time, freight coordination, and installation planning support.

Does the WallDirector VC support multi-source input layouts on the 219" display?

Yes. The Planar WallDirector Video Controller supports multi-source input management, allowing multiple signal sources to be displayed simultaneously in configurable layouts across the 219" canvas. This is useful for command center and operations room applications where multiple data feeds need to be monitored concurrently.
