New large format displays combine reliable
technologies with modern design
NEC Display Solutions Europe has
launched a new range of large format
displays for commercial applications
with the introduction of the NEC
MultiSync C Series. The latest additions
to its range of fully commercial displays
consist of three models, ranging in size
from 43-55in – C431, C501 and C551.
All three models have a mechanical
depth of only 45mm. With a modern
and slim design, high-definition image
brilliance and multiple inputs, C Series
models are ideally suited as digital
signage displays for informational
and advertising purposes, as well
as presentation devices for smaller
conference rooms and huddle spaces.
The C Series range features a
display brightness of 400 cd/m²,
allowing good visibility in controlled
light surroundings. The eye-pleasing
black levels and impressive contrast
ratios, combined with anti-glare surface
to reduce reflections, offer ergonomic
viewing and less fatigue when used for
signage and conferencing applications.

Thanks to its integrated
MediaPlayer, the C Series range also
supports auto content playback and
management of image and video
media files. Auto play settings allow
content playback to be scheduled
according to the user’s individual
needs. The standalone solution
requires no additional cabling,
ensuring a neat and seamless result
with the only additional hardware
required being a USB drive or
MicroSDHC card.
These new models include full
external control through both the LAN
and RS232 interfaces, which enables
easy integration into existing control
systems. The C Series displays can
be installed in both landscape and
portrait orientation, further expanding
how users can deploy them. The
NEC MultiSync C Series large format
disp lays will be available from early
December 2017 and with additional
larger sizes expected to be launched in
early 2018. n
Research recently launched by
Callcredit Information Group,
reveals that while 73% of fraud
professionals think mobile
devices will be the key facilitator
of identification in the future,
over half (60%) feel that they will
present the biggest single point
of compromise for fraud in the
future.
Currently, just 43% of UK
organisations are using mobile
phone checks as a form of identity
verification but one in five (18%)
are planning to implement it
over the next three years. This is
unsurprising given that 50% of
respondents believe that name
and address data will be obsolete
as a verification measure in the
future. The research indicates
that companies are moving
towards digital attributes such as
email address and devices. When
asked which piece of customer
data provides the most fraud risk
insights, email addresses came
second with 44%.
John Cannon, Commercial
Director, Callcredit Information
Group, commented: “Over the past
decade mobile phones have taken
an increasingly important role
in our society. One small part of
this is how they have changed the
fraud landscape. But there is an
underlying tension when it comes
to mobile for the fraud prevention
industry – they’re a key avenue in
identity verification but they also
represent significant risk. Fraud
professionals must focus on using
them to their advantage.” n
