All-In-One Seamless, Wide-View LED Video Wall Displays for Next-Level Collaboration

At InfoComm 2022, the company will debut the Planar® UC Complete™ family of seamless, wide-view LED video wall displays designed for video conferencing, unified communications (UC) and hybrid meeting rooms. Planar UC Complete video wall displays enable life-sized, high-resolution video conferencing windows and document sharing when used in conjunction with today's most popular meeting room solutions such as front row for Microsoft Teams® Rooms. Featuring 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratio configurations and pixel pitches from 0.9 to 1.5 millimeters, Planar UC Complete displays provide a large seamless surface, close viewing distances and help facilitate authentic and engaging video conference experiences between remote participants and their in-room colleagues.

The release of Planar UC Complete introduces five models offering customers a range of displays to choose from, including two 151-inch and two 205-inch models featuring 21:9 aspect ratios, and one 198-inch model with a 32:9 aspect ratio. With Planar UC Complete wide-view aspect ratio configurations, participants can view content and communicate in a clean, organized format that fosters productive hybrid meetings.

Planar UC Complete displays reduce the time, complexity and cost of designing and installing LED video walls. Each Planar UC Complete model is equipped with LED display cabinets, mounts, trim, cables, spare modules, IR remote and the powerful Planar® WallDirector™ Video Controller, ensuring customers receive everything they need for hassle-free deployment. Customers simply select the video wall size and resolution and pair it with their preferred room communications system.

Planar UC Complete displays are compliant with the Trade Agreement Act (TAA) and American's with Disabilities Act (ADA), and also include the Planar® EverCare™ Lifetime Limited Warranty. This offers customers complete product coverage from controller to sub-pixel and everything in between for as long as the end customer continues to own and use it in a fixed location.

Eye-Catching XR Stage for Next-Generation Corporate Communications

At InfoComm 2022 Planar will also showcase a captivating XR stage complete with fine pitch LED display technology and motion capture technology from Planar's sister company and industry leader, OptiTrack. The comprehensive XR stage will demonstrate how customers can transform their communications, creating immersive experiences for audiences.

The XR stage will be powered by the Planar® CarbonLight™ VX Series line of carbon fiber-framed indoor LED video wall and flooring displays. Introduced in 2021 with the launch of the Planar Studios initiative to address today's fast-growing virtual production (VP) and XR market, the family supports hanging, wall-mounted, free-standing and curved LED video wall as well as flooring installations. Planar CarbonLight VX Series also delivers exceptional on-camera and in-camera visual properties with unrivaled deployment versatility.

Attendees will also experience OptiTrack™ CinePuck™, the first purpose-built tracking tool for VP and XR and broadcast studios. CinePuck delivers access to world-class tracking accuracy and precision, in addition to an all-new industrial grade IMU and ultra-bright wide-angle LEDs. The 6DoF IMU data is combined with optical data to produce a tracking result better than the sum of its parts, resulting in smooth tracking - even with significant occlusion.

The stunning XR stage represents Planar's ongoing commitment to advance state of the art of VP & XR, helping bring such applications to corporate customers.
