For the latest show news and updates follow #ISE2014 Big screen showcase PHILIPS SIGNAGE SOLUTIONS
Three new digital signage products are forming part of a massive presentation from MMD, the brand licence partner for Philips Signage Solutions, including Philips Q-Line displays, daisy-chained 55in videowalls and an Ultra HD prototype. Equipped with SmartControl software, the new Q-Line models offer an HTML5 browser that has been specifically adapted to digital signage use. Content from all DLNA compliant devices, including smartphones and other mobile gadgets, can easily be displayed on the large screens. An internal media player is capable of handling a wide range of video and audio codecs from USB sources. The Q-Line range of full HD AMVA LED displays feature optimised pixel management technology for a 178°/178° extra wide viewing angle. The range also offers the SmartPower feature, allowing the backlight intensity to be controlled and

4K: where are we now? The momentum behind the new Ultra HD format appears to be unstoppable – but the availability of suitable products before blanket standardisation does bring its share of challenges
To some extent the upcoming transition from HD to 4K is similar to what happened in the early HD days. It took a while before the market standardised on 1080i and 720p resolutions, and before the technology matured enough for HD content to be created economically. It also took a long time until consumer HD flat displays were cheap enough for mass-market adoption. The 4K transition is, however,
different. The consumer market may, in some aspects, be ready before the professional market. The first generation of 4K consumer displays is available and prices are decreasing. Although the latest versions of DisplayPort and HDMI standards define various 4K/UHD ‘flavours’, the technology, in some ways, is ahead of the standardisation work, mainly in the broadcast world but also in the professional AV and consumer sphere. The ITU-R BT.2020 recommendation is
an UHDTV reference document for broadcast applications. UHD key parameters are 3840 x 3160 resolution, progressive scanning, and frame rates ranging from 23.97fps to 120fps. In the beginning, it seems that for production applications, intermediate frame rates such as 50, 59.94 and 60fps may be a good compromise between a sufficient
temporal resolution and what current technology economically permits. We feel that 4K could be the next
logical step for our pro-AV industry, especially in markets such as military, visualisation, simulation and other verticals. It is likely that content producers will be under pressure to supply 4K content soon. Until the market matures, it may be a challenge to select the correct 4K equipment. At Apantac we are designing, manufacturing and selling multiviewers, as well as 4K-ready signal processing solutions. During this early phase, our approach focuses on repurposing/ expanding existing technology to address some of the early needs. One example is to use existing multiviewers with specific FW and SW to drive four quadrant UHD displays at 50/60Hz. We are running a 4K/UHD demonstration on our ISE 2014 stand which will give you a taste of what we can accomplish when it comes to 4K, and how we can support your visual monitoring and display requirements to ensure maximum impact for your professional AV application. We will appreciate your feedback during the show, as this will help turn technology into new products. Stand: 10-S114

150 displays. Thanks to their super-slim bezel, the units can be arranged almost seamlessly and combined to provide impressive signage solutions. The 55in full HD videowalls offer IPS wide view technology for image and colour accuracy and come with a factory-set calibration, which helps to achieve an even colour gamut when combined.
MMD is also displaying an Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) prototype. The display technology arranges over 8 million pixels on a screen with an 84in diagonal. Stand: 10-K114
Nexcom’s NDiS B862 can stretch images and videos across six displays. It is pitched at graphic-intensive DOOH applications in the retail, gaming and entertainment sectors, as well as control rooms requiring real-time accuracy and high visibility. The NDiS B862 runs the dual/quad-core AMD Embedded R-Series APU platform and a dedicated AMD Radeon E6760 GPU. Featuring the dual-GPU design, NDiS B862 has dedicated GDDR5 graphics memory, dual-video decoder and DirectX11 support. The videowall player offers accelerated streaming of HD and 3D Blu-ray videos and enables massive display resolution of up to 5760 x 2160 across six displays using AMD Eyefinity technology. The six displays can be configured in
vertical or horizontal orientations and flexible multi-monitor placements. Stand: 8-H250
