Samsung launches new waterproof and dustproof Tizen powered displays

Samsung has launched its latest P-Series standalone SMART line of displays. It is also the world’s first Tizen-powered premium displays. The P-Series displays include the PHF (700nit brightness) and PMF (500nit brightness; except 32-inch display) models. They will also be the first to contain the upgraded fourth generation Samsung SMART Signage Platform (SSSP 4.0).

“The launch of Samsung’s new P-Series signage represents a landmark moment for our business, as we have made our already industry-leading visual displays even more capable with the addition of Tizen platform to our SSSP,” stated Senior VP of Visual Display, Seog-gi Kim, at Samsung Electronics. “By equipping our displays with faster and more versatile content management tools, our customers will be better prepared to solve their most prominent customer engagement challenges.”

According to Samsung, partners at SSSP prefer to have an open source platform for standard web APIs rather than closed platforms. However, the new P-series displays, powered by Tizen, feature the advantages of a cross-architecture, open source platform based on a comprehensive standards-based HTML5 implementation. The new displays also have easier web app development with an upgraded Tizen Emulator and new Remote Debugging Tool.

The displays are the firsts in the Samsung’s line-up of SMART displays to showcase content using the SSSP 4.0’s reinforced graphics engine. Both the PHF and PMF models are IP5X certified, allowing them to resist dust and dirt and allowing them to be utilized at a variety of locations including public places.
