42" Professional Display for Entry-Level Digital Signage | TH-42LF8U
Features
The IPS Panel Has a Wide Viewing Angle and Minimal Color Fluctuations
There is very little change in color, compared with the VA panel, when the screen is viewed at right or left angles, so the images are crisp and clear. This is ideal for providing correct information to places with a lot of people present, such as public spaces and facilities.
TILTING INSTALLATION
USB MEDIA PLAYER
The LF8U Series features a USB media player. Signage operation is possible by simply inputting the desired content via USB, eliminating the need for a set-top box. Both videos and still images can be displayed, so a wide variety of original signage content can be used.
* For detailed instructions on using the USB Media Player Function, see the "Easy Guide"
EASY UPDATE
Multi Monitoring & Control Software makes it possible to change the content in the USB memory via LAN after installation. Content can be easily changed even when the display is installed in a high place or suspended from the ceiling. This enables smooth, easy operation.
High-Performance Image Engine for Flexible Image Adjustment Like Never Before
CONTINUOUS 24-HOUR OPERATION
The use of highly durable panel materials and quality electronic components ensures dependable 24-hour operation seven days a week. This makes the LF8U Series ideal for installation in public places, surveillance centers, and other applications where absolute reliability is critical.
* Display of moving images is recommended when panels are in use for long periods to prevent image retention. Note that image burn-in can be gradually rectified with the periodical display of moving images.
FAILOVER AND FAILBACK
The LF8U Series is equipped with a variety of signal input terminals: two HDMI, DVI-D, DIGITAL LINK, and USB. If the main video and audio signals are interrupted, the system immediately switches to alternative signals. This makes it ideal for mission critical control rooms and surveillance centers. If the main signals are restored, the original image is displayed. * [COMPONENT] may be displayed as [RGB] depending on the settings of [Component/RGB-in select]. For more information, see the operating instructions.
MULTI MONITORING & CONTROL SOFTWARE
This free Panasonic software enables you to monitor and control up to 2048 devices over a LAN network from a single PC. As a monitoring function, the status of multiple devices can be listed in groups, and then detailed information on each device can be separately displayed. As a control function, control commands such as power ON/OFF, input switching and command inputs can be executed, and a schedule function can be used. Download Software from Global Website
CLONING FUNCTION
You can easily copy the setting data of a master display to other displays using USB memory. This saves labor when making screen settings during the installation of multiple devices.
* If the inch sizes/series for the displays differ, the cloning function does not operate. Use common inch sizes/series.
EARLY WARNING SOFTWARE
The LF8U Series support Early Warning Software (optional: ET-SWA100), which monitors the status of devices (projectors or flat-panel displays) connected to an intranet, reports device failures, and gives advance warnings by detecting predicted abnormalities, after installation to the PC has been completed. The status of displays in an intranet is observed, and problems are forecast, the occurrence of other problems is sensed, and notification is sent to the user.
* The use of this software will not detect malfunctions in all devices and equipment in advance. Early Warning Software:
