Display Health and Performance Monitoring Near and
Far
Introduced in June, the Planar® WallDirector™ Cloud web-based

hardware via an intuitive dashboard. CEDIA attendees will get a

as well as evaluate and troubleshoot from one centralized location.

geographies.
The application is designed for scalability and security,
requiring no additional hardware or software. Users also benefit
from a selection of convenient view options, which allows them to
filter their monitoring and routine diagnostics by location,
priority, device type or even an entire fleet of displays deployed
across multiple locations.
Planar’s new remote management service for display monitoring
and lineup of LED platforms powering unparalleled viewing
experiences will be on display in Booth #1601 at CEDIA + CIX 2024
in Denver September 5-7. Knowledgeable sales and product team
