Feature-rich and designed for a secure networked environment, Pro Series was the first touchscreen developed specifically for en- terprise, that’s been shaped by the customers it serves. An all- in-one interactive touchscreen for meeting rooms, auditoriums, receptions or breakout spaces, it’s a highly versatile display. The central hub within an evolving workspace; it’s an essential work- place tool that integrates and connects with other devices and network functions across an organisation. Connecting multiple users on a common platform, Pro Series supports Unified Commu- nications and BYOD, WebEx, Skype for Business, Zoom, STAGE and other video conferencing solutions that enables teams to col- laborate better.

To that end, Pro Series can be run in either tablet or PC mode with locked down settings that can be controlled by IT and system managers using the Clevertouch Re- mote Management software.

Digital Signage Innovation of the year Winner
Samsung 8K QLED Signage
Available in an 82-inch model, the new QLED Signage combines the market’s highest resolution with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that optimises content for 8K presentation—producing truly lifelike images and enabling users to enjoy much more im- mersive viewing experiences with 4,000 nit peak brightness. An 8K QLED Signage features a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, which means roughly 8,000 pixels are packed into each horizontal line of the screen. At this level of pixel density, the individual pixels composing an image become imperceptible to the human eye—even when viewed up close. 8K QLED Signage features Samsung’s proprietary Quantum Processor 8K. For contents providers, Samsung’s proprietary 8K AI Upscaling technology based on machine learning transforms picture quality to a level compatible with 8K regardless of the original source quality or format. HDR (High Dynamic Range) 10+ technology optimizes the brightness levels with the peak bright- ness of 4,000 nit and produces pristine colours and images to de- liver pictures as intended by creators. By applying Local Dimming and Quantum Light Control, BLU (Back Light Unit) with highly concentrated light, 8K QLED Signage has enhanced black colour presentation and widened viewing angle. 8K QLED Signage’s slim design, with the depth of less than 40 mm, provides hassle-free installation by adopting slim wide-angle lens.
