Versatile High-definition Signage with Built-in SoC Controller

The PN-HB851/HB751/HB651 is a monitor you can trust to get your message out there. What sets it apart is a built-in system-on-a-chip (SoC) controller that allows it to deliver digital signage straight out of the box. Daily operation is a breeze, thanks to onboard content distribution software. Also, SHARP e-Signage S allows you to create and manage professional-grade content. And optional upgrades give the monitor even more flexibility to interact with external devices. It all adds up to a powerful signage solution that’s built to engage.

Out-of-the-Box Digital Signage Solution

Built-in SoC (System on a Chip)
The PN-HB851/HB751/HB651 has a powerful integrated SoC controller driven by an Arm® Cortex® Hexa-core processor. The SoC comes with 4 GB of memory, 32 GB of storage, and integrated AndroidTM OS (7.1). These monitors are ready to display signage right out of the box.
Support for H.265/HEVC
PN-HB851/HB751/HB651 monitors support not only H.264/AVC but also H.265/HEVC. The latter is a next-generation high-efficiency video codec that reduces the communication burden during video transmission. Your content takes on a new level of depth and presence, thanks to the sheer scale and precision of these screens.
SHARP Open Architecture Platform
This platform allows third-party so ware developers to create custom signage applications. This opens up rich possibilities for digital signage in retail, office, and other settings. Certification under Google’s Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) assures compatibility with third-party Android apps.
Note: For details, please consult with your local authorized Sharp dealer or representative.
Smart Connectivity

Ready for Versatile Signage Support

Autoplay with Media Player
Displaying still images or videos as signage content couldn’t be easier. When the monitor is powered on, the built-in media player automatically starts playing content stored in internal storage or on a USB memory device or microSD card. A simple schedule function allows you to pre-register seven patterns for when to start/stop the content playback. In a slideshow, you can add visual effects between the still images. You can also make playlists that combine still images and videos. The PN-HB851/HB751/HB651 lets you enjoy the benefits of simple digital signage without any extra so ware, special skills, or even a PC.
Web-Based Signage
The PN-HB851/HB751/HB651 features a pre-installed HTML5 browser on the SoC as well as built-in support for Bluetooth and a high-speed wireless LAN. This makes it easy to show web content on the monitor as signage content.
Note: Web-based content can be displayed at up to 1080p resolution.
SHARP Content Distributor
This so ware makes it easy to update the content to be displayed on multiple LCD monitors. Through simple and intuitive PC operation, you can schedule what content gets distributed, when it gets delivered, and which monitors show it. Take advantage of a convenient signage solution that lets you distribute content in a timely manner to multiple monitors.

Note: SHARP Content Distributor is available via the downloader on the bundled CD-ROM.
