Advanced LFD Technology for Superior Results Executive summary Control multiple digital signage devices remotely As commercial digital large format display (LFD) signage requirements evolve, the technology behind LFD must also progress. Samsung LFD products offer a compelling set of features and enhanced functionality that provide • • • • • Unified MDC (Multiple Display Control) is a program that enables LFD users to control visual displays remotely.
Control of Multiple Digital Signage Devices Unified MDC (Multiple Display Control) Home tab controls Unified MDC (Multiple Display Control) Sound tab controls The Home tab of the Samsung Unified MDC application contains the following options that enable the user to control the overall settings: The Sound tab of the Samsung Unified MDC application contains the following controls that help the user adjust the sound settings: • • • • • Power control. Enables the power to be turned on or off.
System Information and Settings Adjustment Unified MDC (Multiple Display Control) System tab controls Unified MDC (Multiple Display Control) Tool tab controls The Tool tab of the Samsung Unified MDC application contains the following controls for the appearance and functionality of Unified MDC: The System tab of the Samsung Unified MDC application contains the following controls that enable the user to adjust the system settings: • • • • • • • Video wall control.
Remote Configuration of LFDs Four types of LFD configuration Method 3: Combine Methods 1 and 2 Installing several LFDs in multiple locations throughout a display environment can require the remote configuration of the LFDs. In such cases, LFDs can be remotely configured using a Unified MDC program. LFDs are connected to a PC and controlled by one of the following four methods. Strength: RS-232C can be used for close displays when IP address resources are limited.
MagicInfo™ Software for Remote Control Method 4: Make a connection through a Wi-Fi dongle • This configuration is the same concept as configuration 1, setting different IP addresses for each display after setting the LAN, but it does not include any cable. Unified MDC performance depends on the functionality and quality of the router.
Simplified Support for Communication Between Diverse Equipment Types Use advanced technology easily HDMI cables carry HD signals with zero compression and can carry more than twice the bandwidth required for traditional 1080p. In contrast, digital visual interface (DVI) cables lose signal strength after about 5 m (15 ft.), or after about 15 m (50 ft.) with an equalizer.
Designed for Easy Scheduling of Power and Functional Options When the display is powered up with the Source Auto Switching feature set to “On,” and the previous video source selection is inactive, the display automatically searches the secondary input sources that the user previously selected for active video. If the current video source is not recognized, the secondary input source selection becomes active.
Superior Image Display Conditions with Lower Energy Requirements Smart Scheduling automates power and functionality based on a defined schedule Digital Loop Out provides cost-effective connection of multiple displays without image quality degradation Smart Scheduling is a timer function that turns LFD power on or off at designated times. Smart Scheduling also includes a Holiday Management function that turns the timer off during specified holidays.
Enhanced Colour, Correction and Contrast How Dynamic Contrast works Produce high-resolution display quality with Dynamic Contrast It is important to express dark areas of the screen to achieve the highest quality display; therefore, the dark colour should be expressed at its lowest for a clear screen. If the black colour luminance realized is high, the entire screen is blurred.
LFD Dynamic Contrast for Clearer Displays Optimized LFD Communication and Operation Samsung DCR measurement Conclusion The following section describes the conditions under which the Samsung DCR was measured. • • • • • Commercial digital LFD signage requires enhanced capabilities, such as remote control, ease of use and high resolution to meet the demands of changing media and display environments.
