Easy and Versatile Signage Support
The PN-Y556/Y496/Y436/Y326 LCD monitors facilitate easy daily usage and versatile content distribution. Content can be distributed via a USB memory device or SD card ?️/? for plug-and-play operation. Wireless content distribution is possible using a specified wireless SD card equipped with an original Sharp HTML application, allowing distribution from a PC or mobile device. SHARP Content Distributor software further supports convenient content distribution and network management.
Autoplay via Media Player
Displaying still images or videos is straightforward. Inserting a USB memory device or SD card ?️/? into the monitor initiates playback automatically. This feature eliminates the need for a PC and cables, making it user-friendly. Supported media formats include JPEG and PNG for still images, and MP4, WMV, and TS for videos. JPEG (.jpg) and WMV (.wmv) files can be played automatically. Note: A USB memory device and an SD card should not be used simultaneously.
Easy Overwrite via Wireless LAN
With a specified wireless SD card (e.g., Toshiba FlashAir™), content stored on the card can be wirelessly overwritten. This enables easy content distribution from a PC, tablet, or other mobile device, offering a convenient data-transmission experience. It removes the need to physically access the monitor to update content, allowing for installations in hard-to-reach locations.
Timely Content Distribution via Network
Operating over a LAN, SHARP Content Distributor software simplifies updating content across multiple LCD monitors. Users can schedule content distribution, delivery times, and target monitors through intuitive PC operation, enabling timely content delivery to multiple PN-Y556/Y496/Y436/Y326 monitors. A USB memory device or SD card is required for each monitor.
