PN-V601A / PN-V600A

Give Multi-Monitor Impact to Your Visual Communications

Sleekly styled and sized-to-impress, the PN-V601A/V600A professional LCD monitor delivers sensational digital signage in public places, commercial establishments, and transportation hubs and gives businesses a cutting-edge platform for presentations and videoconferences. And while it takes just one 60-inch PN-V601A/V600A to catch the eye, multiple slim-bezel monitors joined in nearly seamless configurations make for utterly dazzling video walls that command attention, make an impact, and expand the possibilities of what displays can do. Visually persuasive and digitally dynamic, PN-V601A/V600A multi-monitor configurations are broadening the very scope of visual communication.

For High Visual Impact and Multi-Monitor Dynamics

Joining multiple PN-V601A/V600A monitors together creates eye-catching video walls for an expanded range of infiuence, wherever the setting. Easy to assemble and easily controlled via the RS-232C interface or a network*, dynamic multi-monitor configurations bring high-impact exposure to commercial and business content.

Units: cm (measurements are approximations that include the bezel width)

* PN-ZB02 is required when controlling the monitors via a network.

Crisp Images

The PN-V601A/V600A incorporates Sharp’s UV2A* technology to ensure highly efficient use of light from the backlight and prevent light leakage. The result—truly bright whites and extremely deep blacks. A brightness of 700 cd/m2 (PN-V601A) or 450 cd/m2 (PN-V600A) supports these LCD monitors in their digital signage duties.

* UV2A stands for Ultraviolet-induced Multi-domain Vertical Alignment, a photo-alignment technology that ensures uniform alignment of liquid crystal molecules.

Ultra-Slim Bezel for Nearly Seamless Video Walls

For the dynamic display of large, crisp images that catch the eye and capture the attention, the PN-V601A/V600A boasts an ultra-slim bezel that makes the lines between video wall monitors an almost seamless 6.5 mm*1 wide (2.4 mm right and bottom, 4.1 mm left and top)*2.

*1: Does not include the gap between the monitors.

*2: Non-display area for neighbouring monitors is 7.1 mm.

 

Full-Array LED Backlight

To give the PN-V601A/V600A uniform brightness, LED elements are evenly positioned across the entire panel directly behind the liquid crystal layers, ensuring that Sharp multi-monitor displays are consistently bright and beautiful.

Enlarge (Zoom) Display Mode 
(for up to 25 Monitors)

The Enlarge (Zoom) Display mode can spread one image across up to 25 monitors (in a 5 x 5 configuration) from a PC. The Frame Width Adjustment function eliminates misalignment and boldly enhances the enlarged image on a multi-screen display.

Sharp Digital Signage Software (SDSS) (Option)

SDSS is versatile management software that provides total support for the creation, scheduling, distribution, and display of a wide range of content for Sharp LCD monitors. Whether distributing scheduled programs over a large network or via a USB flash drive, users can select the software version that matches their needs, their business environment, and their existing systems.

Image Quality and Functions

Brightness Sensor

The Brightness Sensor* function ensures clear visibility by automatically adjusting backlight brightness to complement surrounding brightness levels. In dark surroundings, backlight brightness automatically lowers, providing optimal viewing and energy savings as well.

* Requires optional PN-ZR01 Control Kit.

Dual Screen Display

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode allows an AV-sourced image to be displayed within a PC-sourced one (or vice versa), while Picture-by-Picture (PbyP) mode puts images from AV and PC sources side by side for split-screen viewing.

Mirror Display Mode (Daisy Chain)

With Mirror Display mode*, the same image can be displayed on a daisy chain of PN-V601A/V600A for the powerful impact of visual repetition.

* Up to five monitors (using DVI daisy-chain connection).

* Requires optional Interface Expansion Board.

User-Friendly Design

Environmentally Friendly Design

The PN-V601A/V600A conforms to the RoHS Directive restricting the use of hazardous substances.

Choice of Installation Mode

Equally eye-catching in both landscape and portrait modes, the PN-V601A/V600A offers a choice of installation modes to suit the display content, setting, and purpose. Landscape installation gives vivid expression to wide images, and portrait installation offers all the appeal and impact of a poster.

VESA-Compliant Mounts

VESA-compliant mounts provide right/left pivot and swivel, ensuring a high level of safety when the PN-V601A/V600A is mounted on a wall or suspended from a ceiling.

Carrying Handles for Safe Setup

To ensure safe handling, the PN-V601A/V600A comes with heavy-duty carrying handles*.

* Pre-assembled with main unit.

Reliability / Durability

24/7 Operation

The PN-V601A/V600A is rugged enough for continuous 24/7 operation in the most demanding professional applications.

Power on Delay

The Power on Delay function allows a time delay between the startup of each monitor in video walls or multi-monitor installations. This reduces the load placed on the power supply when a number of monitors are turned on at the same time.

Built-In Temperature Sensor

Should the temperature inside a monitor rise, a built-in sensor will detect it, and the backlight system will automatically adjust to keep the temperature within operational level*.

* The monitor automatically goes to standby mode when the internal temperature remains consistently above operational level.

Display Managment

ID Setting

Thanks to its RS-232C interface, the PN-V601A/V600A can be easily controlled and monitored from a central location via a PC. Each monitor can be assigned an individual ID code to specify when remotely turning that monitor on or off, changing its input, or making various screen adjustments and settings.

Scheduling

For total ease of operation, the Schedule function allows up to eight settings to be pre-programmed for automatic monitor turn on/off at precise times on a daily, weekly, or one-time basis. 

Log Saving/Output

To boost the troubleshooting efficiency of service technicians, operating logs, signal changes, information on operating irregularities, and other such data can be saved and tracked.

Hardware Diagnostics

The Hardware Diagnostics function detects any irregularities in power supply voltage and indicates it on the monitor. 

E-Mail Notification

With the E-Mail Notification* function, display status updates will be sent periodically to a specified e-mail address. A notice will also be sent if a malfunction occurs.

* Requires optional Interface Expansion Board.

Web Browser Setting

The PN-V601A/V600A can be easily operated through a Web browser and monitor control software*.

* Available separately

* Requires optional Interface Expansion Board.

SNMP Support

Display status, continuous operating time, and other parameters can be monitored over a local area network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)*.

* Requires optional Interface Expansion Board.

Self Adjust Function

With an analogue PC connection, when a change occurs to the input signal timing, the clock phase will automatically adjust accordingly.

Accesories

Mirror Frames (PN-ZR32/ZR33*1)

In multi-monitor configurations, Mirror Frames minimise*2 the lines between slim-bezel PN-V601A/V600A monitors by refiecting mirror images from the display content. This creates more dynamic video walls and an even smoother big-picture effect.

*1 PN-ZR32: Long Mirror Frame; PN-ZR33: Short Mirror Frame

*2 Visibility of the seams between monitors will vary depending on such factors as the on-screen images and the viewing angle.

Mirror Frame mounting

Control Kit (PN-ZR01)

When one of the monitors in a video wall is fitted with a remote control sensor box, all of the monitors can be conveniently operated through one remote control unit. And to help with overall energy savings, a brightness sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight to match the ambient lighting.

Interface Expansion Board (PN-ZB02)

The expansion board adds DVI-D input/output, component video input, RJ-45 LAN display control, and more. It also allows you to operate the display via a Web browser and monitor-control software*. In addition, regular display status updates can be sent to a specified E-mail address, and operating parameters can be monitored over a LAN using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

* Separate hardware and software are required for each individual system build.
