Product Overview

Panasonic's TH-42AF1U, the 42" model in their AF1 display lineup, is simple, reliable, expandable, and features an Android™-based OpenPort PLATFORM™ powered by a high-performance SoC (System on a Chip) with a 1 GHz quad-core CPU, 1 GB of memory, and 8 GB* of internal storage. Together with verified apps created by global alliance partners for custom signage and other roles in business, these adaptive displays can deliver your message with full impact now and for the future.

*Total capacity of storage including OS.

Fully certified by Google, the OpenPort PLATFORM™ based on Android™, assures stable, secure, and reliable operation.

Applications running on OpenPort PLATFORM™ are fully vetted by Panasonic and alliance partners for stable, secure functionality.

With its onboard media player function, you won't need external devices like set-top boxes or PCs, and associated cabling for digital signage usage. Wireless functionality provides simple, worry-free installation, while saving you both time and money.

Easily access and install Applications using Panasonic App Server*, which streamlines the settings before use. App installation can also be provided via USB drive or microSD card.

*Total capacity of storage including OS.

Panasonic's clear, intuitive API (Application Programming Interface) allows the expansion of application functions, enabling remote control of the display with no need for RS232C or other complicated applications.

USB drives and microSD cards can also be used to expand the 8 GB internal memory storage capacity.

Peripheral devices like keyboard, mouse, or USB camera can be connected to AF1 Series displays, offering further expansion of their functionality.

Using a USB memory device, you can easily copy data settings from a master display to other displays, reducing labor, and ensuring consistent multiple device setup.

Note: Function supported on displays of the same size and series only.

The AF1 Series features efficient edge-LED IPS panel technology, providing brightness of 500 cd/m², and assuring uncommonly good off-axis visibility that maintains color accuracy even in bright ambient light situations. Additionally, the displays feature a slim 6.3mm (0.25") bezel that increases perceived image size.

The hardy fanless design prevents issues that may be caused by the intake of dusty air, thus allowing the displays to be safely installed and operated in high-traffic environments.

The AF1 Series includes HDMI, DVI-D, and USB terminals. If an interruption to the main video and audio signals occurs, the system immediately switches to alternative signals. When the primary input signal is restored, the original content is automatically reinstated. These safeguards are absolutely essential when the displays are employed in control rooms, surveillance centers, and any other mission-critical applications.

This free software available from Panasonic provides monitoring and control of up to 2,048 devices via a LAN network—all from a single PC if needed. For monitoring purposes, the status of each device can be listed in groups, along with detailed information on individual displays that can also be separately shown. Control functions include power ON/OFF, command inputs, input switching, and scheduling.

Optional ET-SWA100 Series* Early Warning Software offers monitoring for displays and projectors that are connected to an intranet, and informs you when an abnormality is detected or there are symptoms of trouble. A monitoring server can be controlled remotely via tablet or PC, when this software installed.
