Compatible with Sampo Professionals DisplayNet Administrator software, which enables administrators to control, manage and troubleshoot networks of Sampo Professional flat-panel displays from a single networked computer, the high-definition PME-50X10 is ideal for placement in high-traffic public environments with installer-friendly features that include power on default input, default volume, front panel lock, OSD display on/off, and optional side-mounted speakers. The PME-50X10 can be controlled remotely via an easy-to-use RS232 command structure or through the standard RJ-45 port using a browser-based control interface.
The high-brightness, high-contrast PME-50X10 plasma display supports advanced scaling functions such as picture-in-picture support for displaying multiple video inputs, and video-over-graphics support for combining video and data for videoconferencing, distance learning and other multimedia applications that incorporate static messaging with dynamic content. The versatile PME-50X10 incorporates a host of connectivity options including DVI, RGB, HD component, composite and S-Video inputs. Other advanced unit control features include front panel lockout, discrete input selection and Smart ID.
"For digital signage and other commercial applications, the ability to easily and cost-effectively control and manage the network of displays is perhaps as important as the video performance of each of the monitors," explained Andy Fischer, National Sales Manager for Sampo Professional. "Combining our new DisplayNet software with the new feature-rich high-performance PME-50X10, we're able to fulfill both the performance and control requirements for installations of any size and applications of any scope."
