Want more information on the features and benefits of the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431? Then read on here:

In addition to landscape and portrait installation, the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431 also offers the special feature of face-up installation: i.e. you have the option of installing the display with the screen surface facing upwards. This option is only available with very few displays on the market, as displays normally only have a maximum tilt angle of up to 15°. It thus opens up new possibilities for you to create an immediate impression on customers and present information in exciting new ways , e.g. for high-profile retail advertising or innovative signposts and points of interest (POI) in public spaces. For mounting, you can use the VESA standard 300 x 300 mm and the weight of 18.5 kg as a guide. You have the options to either install the display directly on the wall with the help of a wall mount or to use a stand, a trolley or a height-adjustable mount. To do this, simply browse in our shop and select your desired mount with the corresponding parameters, VESA standard and weight. If you have any questions, our customer service will be happy to help you by phone, e-mail or live chat.

To ensure that your advertisements, welcome texts or the next event dates are clearly displayed, the Sharp/NEC MA431 has ultra-high 4K resolution with 3840 x 2160 pixels and a brightness of 500 cd/m². The panel is also anti-reflective (Pro Haze Level of 28%), so you don't have to worry about reflections from windows or other light sources and a distortion-free image of your content is guaranteed. With these parameters   the MultiSync MA431 is suitable for brighter rooms and places of use without direct sunlight, e.g. in the entrance area of a company to greet business partners and customers, making them feel welcome right away . Or use it as a menu board to display a selection of your food and drinks as a slide show. The MA431's HDR compatibility ensures vivid and natural images and videos.

The new MA Series displays feature professional-grade panels with a wide colour gamut that displays significantly more visible colours than comparable panels. Combined with NEC's proprietary SpectraView® Engine, you get comprehensive customisation and control options for any individual requirements. The SpectraView® Engine is a colour processing module integrated into the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431. It combines custom monitor characterisation and calibration with temperature and timing monitoring to provide an unparalleled level of colour control, accuracy and stability. You can correct for colour uniformity in the process: Using factory measurements and the SpectraView® engine, the display of your content is then produced with the best possible match. From faster and improved colour calibration, to the ability to accurately mimic colour spaces such as Adobe®RGBand sRGB, to printer emulations with ICC profiles and internal 3D lookup tables. In recent years, the correct representation of colours and colour adjustment capabilities have become increasingly important. The MultiSync MA431 therefore provides the perfect basis for accurate colour reproduction.

The MultiSync MA431 display from Sharp/NEC supports the simultaneous display of several images via Multi Picture Mode. In conjunction with the SpectraView® Engine, colours can be matched to the individual images as required so that the content is displayed optimally in each area of the display. You can display up to 4 images on one display. This is ideal for meetings in which you want to show several pieces of information side by side. For example, this mode is suitable for discussing medical X-ray images for seminar purposes or for displaying charts, statistics and Excel tables side by side to compare data.

With the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431 you also have the option of connecting several displays of this series to form a video wall. For this you can use the daisy chain function via the DisplayPort output. By daisy-chaining the HDMI Out or DisplayPort Out video connections, a video wall is created in which a single image can be played back across all monitors in tiles. Nowadays, video walls are not only used in large shopping centres and shops, but installations of several flat screens also make sense as information boards in public places or in control rooms. In principle, this option of linking several displays together and displaying a larger image is a practical possibility. However, if you want to use a wall as a permanent solution, we recommend the special video wall displays for this application or an LED wall.

The MultiSync MA431 can distribute both HDMI and DisplayPort input signals directly via daisy chain. DisplayPort daisy-chaining has also been expanded to include DisplayPort 1.4 and HBR3 functions. This means that up to four independent displays can now be driven from the same DisplayPort source via MST (Multi-Stream Transport) * by bundling multiple video streams into a single stream and sending it to the display, which then unbundles the signals back into the original streams ? ideal for menu boards and retail applications. You also have the ability to handle 8K signals via the DisplayPort connector: By grouping screens together using the Tile Matrix function, i.e. when DisplayPort video signals are displayed across multiple monitors, true 8K video can be played back using a daisy-chain connection via the DisplayPort connector.

* =MST functions are dependent on the system's graphics card.

From time to time it may happen that due to the failure of a signal source the content is no longer shown on the display. For this reason, Sharp/NEC has developed the Input Detect function for the MA431: with this function, you can prioritise up to three input sources, which the display can then access if a main signal source fails. The display then switches automatically according to your defined prioritisation. The First Detect Option also ensures that the display switches on automatically when a source is connected and the display thus receives a synchronised signal.

In addition, two HDMI 2.0 inputs and two DisplayPort inputs are available for connecting computers and Blu-ray or DVD players, for example. For the necessary sound, you can add external speakers, such as the Passive Collaboration Soundbars, which you can find in our shop. There are also USB ports built into the unit: The USB downstream port (type A) is suitable for external devices such as cameras, flash memory or keyboards. With the USB-B upstream port, you connect your PC via a USB cable and can then control the devices connected to the USB port. Above all, however, the Sharp/NEC Message series scores points when more computing power is required: the MultiSync MA431 has an Intel® SDM slot that is compatible with Intel® Smart Display Modules (Large/Small). The module can be inserted directly into the designated slot of the MultiSync MA431 without the need to install external devices or cumbersome video and audio cabling. You can find a selection of Intel® Smart Display Modules, which you can add as an option, in our shop.

The MA431 can also be upgraded further: the MA series also supports the integration of a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 at . The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 can be inserted directly below the Intel SDM slot. This open-platform solution offers above all flexibility and performance in the creation of customised display applications. Gigabyte network speeds, faster CPU and 4K support are just a few features. The module also includes the new user-friendly NEC MediaPlayer. Using the intuitive NEC MediaPlayer user interface, you can upload, schedule and edit your playlists, access the internal storage, retrieve online media via an internal browser or connect the RPi to CMS platforms from qualified partners. The display interface board's Ethernet and USB interfaces allow easy integration into a network or connection to external devices such as mouse, keyboard and touch. For more information, you can view and purchase the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 in our shop. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service (phone, email, live chat).

The Sharp/NEC Message series also have the option of being upgraded with a BirdDog Intel® Smart Display Module (Intel® SDM). BirdDog has developed a complete operating system for the Intel SDM platform, simply called BirdDog OS, to provide a truly integrated NDI distribution system. Backed by BirdDog's technology, BirdDog OS has built-in Crestron control and a RESTful API for full automation. More information can be found here.

Alternatively, also offers the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431 as a signage solution with NEC MediaPlayer already integrated. With the modular SoC MediaPlayer, you can realise ready-to-use and easy-to-manage digital signage content. This gives you the opportunity to create stunning visual experiences. If you would prefer to purchase the MultiSync MA431 in a bundle with the NEC MediaPlayer, then you will of course also find it in our shop. The MA series is also compatible with the Cisco WebEx Kit products, so you can create an optimal conference solution with the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431.

Facility managers also benefit from the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA431 display, because thanks to the integrated LAN and the NaViSet Administrator 2 software tool, the display can be controlled via the network. All connected NEC devices can be managed from a central location. Change settings or perform operations on the units, such as power on/off, change input signal, mute, etc., or check settings and/or parameters on a regular basis. These are just a few of the functions you get with the NaViSet Administrator 2 software tool. For more information you can simply follow this link. Your administration effort and the associated costs are reduced - this is how resource-saving device management works!

When designing the MultiSync MA431, Sharp/NEC paid special attention to robust construction. The housing structure does not use any plastic at all: The frame and the back cover are made entirely of metal and are therefore not only sustainable, but also particularly safe. A metal enclosure passes the fire tests, as prescribed in public buildings, significantly better than displays with plastic components. Metal also has a high thermal conductivity, so that the heat generated inside the display can be quickly dissipated. In addition, built-in temperature sensors and active fans ensure that the MultiSync MA431 display does not overheat and delivers constant brightness values. Good thermal management is essential for a long service life and constant performance of electronic components. This protects your investment in the long term.

The daily runtime is reported by Sharp/NEC as 24 hours. In addition, Sharp/NEC offers you a manufacturer's warranty of 3 years on this display. Optionally, you can request a warranty extension to 4 or 5 years from us.
