Planar to make brand debut at DSE

May 14, 2007

CHICAGO — Planar Systems Inc. is making its brand debut at this week's Digital Signage Expo in Chicago, May 16 & 17.

Planar, which acquired Clarity Visual Systems last year, will be demonstrating a full line of offerings from its multiple business units, including a prototype display of its CoolSign-enabled Integrated Sign solution, a new all-in-one kiosk solution, and a complete range of rear projection and LCD monitors and touchscreens designed for indoor or outdoor environments. 

Highlighted at the Planar booth (Booth 301, Navy Pier Chicago) will be the prototype of the new Integrated Sign (iS40) display appliance, shipping later this year. Available in a 40-inch option, the Planar iS40 simplifies digital signage thanks to its fully integrated CoolSign software, easy-to-use and intuitive on-screen setup, and because no additional installation or testing required.

CoolSign, which delivers dynamic digital content to target audiences by location and time, is now compatible with the DB2 information management system from IBM. Planar is a business sponsor of IBM's opening-day seminar at DSE on May 16, and has engaged globally with IBM's technical, sales and marketing divisions.

"Planar's signage solutions are proven for a variety of applications, including financial services, retail, gaming and transportation, and enable enterprise customers of any size to communicate effectively to their audiences using digital content," said Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice president and general manager for Planar's Control Room & Signage Business Unit, formerly Clarity Visual Systems. "The broad array of offerings being exhibited at DSE illustrates Planar's ability to deliver the right software, displays and services for any networked visual information system."
