Today, at InfoComm
2012, Planar
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLNR), a global leader in digital display
technology, announced the availability of Planar
Mosaic Project Designer™. Developed in conjunction with the Planar®
Mosaic™ video wall system, this free, online application lets users
create individualized designs for the recently introduced architectural
video wall system. Planar Mosaic and the Planar Mosaic Project Designer
application will be displayed at InfoComm 2012, Booth #C7536.

Planar Mosaic Project Designer invites users into a virtual environment
to place and rotate Planar Mosaic video tiles and preview images or
video on the tiles. The result is a custom rendering of a video wall
layout. Users can also share design concepts via email or social media,
as well as request a price quotation for their designs.
“Our goal with the innovative Planar Mosaic Project Designer is
twofold,” said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing at Planar
Systems. “It allows clients to experiment with Planar Mosaic and
envision how this new video wall technology might be used in their
space. In addition, our reseller, consultant and designer partners can
use the tool anywhere an Internet connection is available to guide their
clients through the possibilities of Planar Mosaic and create renderings
to use in presentations and discussions. This is the latest example of
how Planar is building on nearly 30 years of display innovation,
creating new possibilities for video displays in architectural
applications and the resources for our customers and partners to make
that vision a reality.”
“We’ve had a tremendously positive response from our clients about the
Planar Mosaic project,” said Joe Forbes, CTS, senior sales consultant at
Sound Stage Inc., a Planar reseller partner and systems integrator,
providing Florida-area clients with audio/visual system design since
1983. “I highly recommend the Planar Mosaic Project Designer for any
installation project. The design concept we created for a new hospital
using this web application provided them a realistic rendering of how
the video wall would appear and function before they made their
decision.”

Planar Mosaic Project Designer is available online at http://mosaic.planar.com.
This mobile-friendly web application is compatible with Apple® iPad,
Android®-powered tablets and tablet PC operating systems. An installable
Microsoft® Windows® variation of Planar Mosaic Project Designer is also
available. The Windows version can be used both to create precise Planar
Mosaic designs and to program the video tiles at the time of
installation. A software license is included with the purchase of Planar
Mosaic video tiles.
Introduced in February 2012, the Planar Mosaic architectural video wall
system empowers designers to integrate LCD tiles of three sizes and
shapes, including a true-square LCD tile, measuring 21.6 inches
diagonally. Utilizing proprietary Mosaic Ensemble ™ software and
hardware, the tiles can be rotated at virtually any angle and mounted in
any position. Video or images can be displayed across the entire tile
array, encouraging designers to experiment with negative space while
extending project budgets.
