How to Install Sharp NEC Display OPS 12G SDI SDM Interface Card With Full 4K/60Hz Support

• Power down the NEC display and disconnect it from any power source before starting the installation to prevent any electrical damage.
• Locate the OPS slot on the back or side of the display, following the manufacturer’s guidance for your specific NEC model. Ensure you are using a compatible Sharp NEC Display OPS module that accepts an SDM interface card.
• Carefully align the 12G-SDI SDM interface card with the OPS slot, making sure the connector orientation matches the slot guides. Gently insert the card until it seats firmly and is flush with the surrounding panel.
• If the design requires, secure the card with any retention screws or mounting hardware provided by the display, ensuring the card remains securely seated during operation and transport.
• Connect your 12G-SDI cables to the card’s SDI ports using appropriate BNC connectors. Use high-quality, properly rated 12G-SDI cables to preserve signal integrity, especially for longer runs or multi-display configurations.
• Reassemble any covers or panels that were removed and reconnect power to the display. Power on the unit and access the display’s on-screen menu (OSD) to verify that the card is detected and enabled as the active video input.
• Check for firmware updates for both the display and, if applicable, the OPS module. Apply updates per the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure optimal compatibility and performance with 4K/60Hz content and 12G-SDI signaling.
• Configure your content source settings to output 4K/60Hz over 12G-SDI, and set any necessary synchronization or color management options within the display’s OSD or connected control software for consistent, uniform output across the signage network.
