Display and digital signage technology provider Planar Systems Inc. has introduced a new iOS app that can manage multiple sources on Planar UltraRes Series 4K LCD displays using an iPhone or iPad.

The new Planar UltraRes App for iOS gives users free streamlined access to robust UltraRes MediaPlex functionality on its Planar UltraRes Series line of commercial ultra-HD displays. With the tap of a finger, users can switch sources and screen layouts to managing video content and presentations, the company said. According to Planar, it is "the first iOS app from a display manufacturer that enables source management for commercial 4K displays."

"Offering mobile apps to manage source viewing on our displays is another way Planar delivers differentiating value to our customers," said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing at Planar Systems, in the announcement. "Planar UltraRes Series UHD displays have an advanced feature set, unmatched in the industry, and the Planar UltraRes App for iOS makes it quick and easy for customers to take full advantage of these features."

All Planar UltraRes Series models come with built-in UltraRes MediaPlex functionality, a new feature that enables efficient management of multiple video or data sources. Up to eight sources can be directly connected to a Planar UltraRes Series display. With UltraRes MediaPlex, any of the eight sources can be instantly scaled up to fill the entire 4K display or scaled down into full-HD quadrants to view four sources simultaneously.

And the new Planar UltraRes App should make using UltraRes MediaPlex even easier, the company said, with an intuitive interface that allows users to take full advantage of UltraRes MediaPlex functionality using a device they commonly carry in their pocket and into their meetings.

The Planar UltraRes App for iOS is now available free for download from the Apple App Store, and an Android version of the Planar UltraRes App is under development and is expected to be released later in 2015, the company said.

The Planar UltraRes App will be on display March 10-11 at the Digital Signage Expo 2015 in Las Vegas.
