ViewSonic EP5542 - 55 inch - 400 cd/m² - 3840x2160 - 16/7 - ePoster

ViewSonic is launching the EP5542, a new ePoster in portrait format, which is ideal as a free-standing 55" display for use in the hotel, catering and retail sectors (and therefore in high-traffic areas). Difficult environmental conditions are no longer a problem for the EP5542, as it has a scratch-resistant tempered glass screen. An integrated high-performance quad-core media player with Android 8 operating system and 2GB of storage space allows you to save images, audio and videos quickly and easily on the player. An additional media player or mini PC can be accommodated on the back of the stele, which you can secure with a lockable door. Two integrated speakers combine excellent screen performance with stereo sound and provide an impressive multimedia experience. ViewSonic delivers the usual high-quality image results in 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a brightness of 400 cd/m². So if you are looking for an elegant, free-standing display, then the EP5542 is just the thing for you.

As already mentioned, the EP5542 has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and displays your advertising content in brilliant UHD quality. The 4K resolution offers the advantage that images can be displayed in even greater detail and finer detail. Visitors also see a significantly better image, even at a short distance, which could never be realised compared to Full HD resolutions. The brightness of 400 ^cd/m2 and the contrast ratio of 1300:1 complete the excellent image experience. Even in bright environments, your content can be easily recognised thanks to an anti-glare coating without any major reflections.

With the scratch-resistant surface of the EP5542, the ePoster is also suitable for harsher environments where you would expect scratches and scuffs. For example, use in a shopping centre: children might scrape against it with objects, your beloved 2cm-long fingernails might scratch the screen or someone might throw their rucksack over their shoulder and accidentally get too close to the ePoster: the EP5542 is equipped with a display glass with a hardness of 7H, which guarantees you a durable, consistent and high-quality viewing experience.

With the EP5542 you get an all-in-one solution, because thanks to the ViewSonic® EMBEDDED Signage Platform (VESP) the installation and maintenance of the ePoster is simplified. The VESP is a Linux-based kernel operating system that eliminates the need for external devices to communicate with the server or to play digital media. You benefit from simplified development, enhanced functions with multiple web formats and secure protection. The ePoster also features a powerful quad-core media player with Android 8 operating system and 2GB of storage space, allowing you to quickly and easily save your signage content to the player.

Another practical feature of the ePoster is a device on the back of the unit that can accommodate a PC or an additionally mounted media player. A lockable door keeps your devices safe and, above all, out of sight. The EP5542 also has an integrated power supply unit, so there is no need to find alternative sockets for additional devices. Using an RS232 or RJ45 connection, you can establish a connection between a PC/laptop and the digital advertising board. You can easily switch the ePoster on and off remotely, adjust the volume or make other settings and manage it. You switch on the EP5542 from 8 a.m. in the morning and switch it off again at around 8 p.m. in the evening. You can also easily display your photos, music or even 4K videos directly on the screen via the USB port. Simply plug in your USB storage device and you're ready to go. Further connections can also be found on the back of the stele, which are located behind a locked door so that not just anyone can access the connections and pull the plug. On the back of the ePoster you will find three HDMI 2.0 connections, a VGA connection, a DisplayPort connection, three USB 2.0 type A and an RJ45 LAN and RS232C connection. You can also replace the LAN connection at any time with an optional WiFi module for a wireless connection. No matter which Internet connection you choose, you and your users can easily search online and view media files such as images and videos directly on the display without having to connect to another computer device.

ViewSonic offers a one-year limited warranty on the EP5542 ePoster.
