Accessories With Each Order of Displays

The number of screen brackets included in an order of c50R/
c67Rs depends on the size and configuration of the proposed 
video wall. The number of brackets required for your planned 
wall are all packed in a separate accessory kit. 

Bottom Row Screen Support

If you have a wall higher than 
two units, this support provides 
additional wall stability.

The following brackets are 
available:

Center Screen Bracket

Front  or  Rear  Corner

sources. This ships separately and is installed on site.

 (SiFi). 

The SiFi feature includes Auto Color Balance (ACB) and the dual

picture over the whole wall, or over part of it. SiFi allows you to 
automatically adjust color balance over a whole wall of displays. 
It also allows you to configure settings for automatic lamp 
switching. The Option key ships separately and is installed on 
site.

WallNet

Is a system of hardware and software that displays information 
about a wall of displays on a network browser. It is primarily 
used for monitoring, reporting and some control (for example, 
manually powering displays on and off ). WallNet is required for 
Auto Color Balance.
