Connecting the device to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the video wall lets administrators easily control it in the video wall management software. One switch is used for each chain of cabinets. Each has a unique IP address but can be LAN daisy chained with others, and is addressable as an individual or as part of a group.
With energy efficiency compliance standards continually changing and more stringent regulations on the way, this adapter is ideal for organizations looking for power savings that prepare them for what is to come, regardless of current requirements. It also facilitates better control over components of the video wall.
The Planar Smart Power Switch is designed for integration with Planar® WallDirector™ Video Controller and its web-based companion software which enables easy video wall configuration, operation and monitoring. The software facilitates low-power control and scheduling.
