As already mentioned, the MA551 PG comes to you with a protective glass: The display is equipped with a Schott Conturan® Standard Protective Glass. Thanks to the protective glass, the intelligent heat management and the metallic back panel, the professional high-end MultiSync MA551 PG can be displayed in public without hesitation. The particularly robust, 4 mm thick protective glass, which is coated on both sides and with a hardness level of 9H protects the display against external impacts (withstands impacts of up to 7.5J, higher than IK08), can be used even under the most difficult conditions. So if the MA551 PG is to be installed in areas where there is a risk of vandalism or accidental damage, the display is ideally equipped for this. The anti-reflective coating of the glass surface ensures that images are always perfectly recognisable at different viewing angles and distances. Schott's state-of-the-art coating process ensures that the reflectance of Conturan® is less than 1% and the light transmission is almost 97%. The result for you: outstanding clarity of your images, videos and documents. Schott Conturan® Standard glass is a soda-lime float glass that has solid optical, mechanical and chemical properties.

In addition to landscape and portrait installation, the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA551 PG 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 to 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 38.5 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 team will be happy to help you by phone, e-mail or live chat.

The Sharp/NEC MA551 PG has an 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 MA551 PG 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 HDR compatibility of the MA551 PG ensures vivid and natural images and videos.

The displays in this series 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 individual requirements. The SpectraView® Engine is a colour processing module integrated into the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA551 PG. 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 MA551 PG therefore provides the perfect basis for accurate colour reproduction.

The MultiSync MA551 PG 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 MA551 PG you also have the option of connecting several displays of this series to form a video wall. To do 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 right away.

The MultiSync MA551 PG 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 MA551 PG: this allows you to 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 Soundbar SP-PSCM-IQ, 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 MA551 PG 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 MA551 PG without the need to install external devices or cumbersome video and audio cabling. You will find a selection of Intel® Smart Display Modules, which you can add as an option, in our shop.

The MA551 PG can also be upgraded further: the 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. The intuitive user interface of the NEC MediaPlayer allows you to upload, schedule and edit your playlists, access the internal storage, retrieve online media via an internal browser or connect the RPi to CMS platforms of 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 to be 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.

Facility managers also benefit with the Sharp/NEC MultiSync MA551 PG Display, as the display can be controlled over the network thanks to integrated LAN and the NaViSet Administrator 2 software tool. 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!

In the design of the MultiSync MA551 PG, Sharp/NEC has paid attention to robust construction. In the housing structure , plastic has been completely dispensed with: The frame and the rear 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 MA551 PG 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.
