Sharp MultiSync® PN-P Series Large Format Displays
PN-P556/PN-P656
Say goodbye to dull, inconsistent displays
The Sharp MultiSync® PN-P Series is designed for bold, ultra-reliable digital signage in environments with high ambient lighting and extended runtime needs, such as healthcare, command centers, finance, retail, and corporate settings. These displays feature factory-calibrated color precision, flexible performance options, and a durable all-metal chassis for stunning visuals and commercial-grade durability.
Key Pain Points-Solved
- Consistent Colors: SpectraView™ Engine provides pixel-perfect factory calibration and pro-level customization for accurate color reproduction.
- Wider Color Gamut: Access to a broader color range for more accurate reproduction in retail, corporate, or education branding.
- Seamless Upgrades: Support for Intel® SDM and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for modular upgrades.
- Overheating/Dimming: Smart cooling technology maintains bright visuals and protects the system.
- 24/7 Uptime: Full metal build, active cooling, and secure LAN controls ensure long-term reliability in tough environments.
High-End UHD Visuals, All Day, Every Day
Experience next-level clarity with native 3840 x 2160 resolution and anti-glare, high-haze glass. The PN-P Series boasts an impressive 700 cd/m² brightness, ensuring your message is visible even in high-ambient light spaces. Imagery and messaging become more vivid and lifelike.
Consistent Colour with SpectraView™™ Engine
Each PN-P display comes pre-calibrated for luminance, white point, gamma, and uniformity. The SpectraView Engine allows for advanced control, including adjustments to white point (100k), brightness based on luminance level, and CIE color coordinates. Backlight stabilization ensures visuals remain consistent and fresh over time.
Smarter Daisy Chaining & Multi-Display Sync
Connect up to 4 independent displays from a single source using DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity and Multi-Stream Transport (MST). This feature allows for multiplexing video streams, ideal for menu boards, video walls, and synchronized signage. The LAN connection also supports daisy-chaining for RS-232C, TCP/IP, and IR communications, enabling remote control of display arrays.
Diagram Description: A diagram illustrating daisy-chaining shows a single source connecting to multiple displays (Menu board #1, #2, #3, #4) via UHD x4 MST Stream, UHD x3 MST Stream, UHD x2 MST Stream, and UHD x1 MST Stream respectively.
Power, Connect, Control-Simplified
An integrated USB hub with a USB-C input supports DP-Alt mode and upstream data transfer. Two downstream USB ports (USB-A and USB-C) are included for peripherals. The USB-C input offers 65W Power Delivery, allowing devices like laptops to charge directly from the display, which is ideal for huddle spaces and presentation environments.
Commercial Toughness You Can Trust
The full-metal chassis, carrying handles, and active cooling system make these displays ready for harsh environments. Integrated temperature sensors maintain consistent brightness without thermal dimming, ensuring your content remains prominent even in demanding commercial settings.
Built for Flexibility
The MultiSync PN-P Series is modular, designed to integrate Intel® Smart Display Modules (SDM-L/SDM-S) and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for embedded intelligence. This allows for sleek, all-in-one solutions and interoperability in a small form factor, simplifying installations and setup.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows an Intel SDM module being inserted into a slot on the display, followed by an arrow indicating a connection to a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.
Smart Input Prioritization
Automatically switch between up to three prioritized inputs or power on with a live signal. If a primary source fails, the display automatically switches to the next prioritized source, ensuring zero downtime. The 'First Detect' option allows the display to automatically switch to any source that plugs into it, waking the display on any synced signal.

Diagram Description: A 'First Detect' scenario shows a source being connected, triggering the display to automatically power on.
Built-in Security for IT Peace of Mind
Features include IEEE802.1x authentication via LAN, SSL/TLS browser control, LAN and USB port disabling, and MAC/IP filtering to keep your network secure.
Diagram Description: A network security diagram shows an 'Authentication server' connecting to a 'Corporate network' and authorizing 'Authorized devices' via an 'Authentication switch'.
Total Control with NaViSet Administrator™™
Remotely manage all Sharp or NEC displays from a single dashboard using NaViSet Administrator 2™. This tool allows monitoring, task automation, report generation, and on-demand changes. An upgrade to the Server Edition offers enhanced features and full remote access.
