Samsung Introduces New QLED and UHD Hospitality Television Series at HITEC 2019

Samsung
Electronics America, Inc. will feature a broad range of new
hospitality innovations at HITEC 2019 to showcase how Samsung technology
elevates the guest experience. Offering a hotel-like setting, Samsung’s
booth will include the latest QLED and UHD hospitality televisions,
indoor and outdoor digital signage and updated interfaces and content
management systems. The Samsung Hotel (Booth #2326) will be open at the
Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minn. from June 18-20,
2019.

“Samsung’s portfolio of hospitality solutions demonstrates our
understanding of the correlation between guest use patterns and the
technical requirements of our commercial hospitality offerings,” said
Jonas Tanenbaum, Vice President of Samsung’s Hospitality TV Division.
“With the new HRQ750 Series, equipped with QLED technology, Samsung
brings an unparalleled viewing experience to the hotel guest room for
the first time. The HRQ750 Series demonstrates Samsung’s dedication to
constantly enhancing technology used by hotels to create a more premium,
luxury stay for guests.”

At HITEC, Samsung will unveil its latest displays optimized for the
hospitality industry: the HRQ750 and HRU750 Series. The HRQ750
hospitality television series leverages Quantum Dot Technology to
display true-to-life colors and rich images. Guests will easily view
even the finest details with Direct Full Array 4K for improved viewing.
With ambient mode, the HRQ750 Series will enhance any room, even when
the screen is turned off. When the display is not active, users can
select from décor, information or artwork settings to shift between
interactive and colorful backgrounds, a range of beautiful pieces and
details such as the time and date. The new HRQ750 is slated to launch
globally later this year.

The new HRU750 display features UHD upscaling technology HDR10+ picture
refinement, all in a slim, modern design. All Samsung HRU750 hospitality
displays also provide an intuitive customizable home application and
Samsung’s Smart Hub offers guests easy access to a variety of custom
content. Samsung SMART displays also allow users to control lighting,
drapes and temperature settings in guest rooms utilizing the HMS system.
In addition, Samsung’s HMS solution gives hotel operators insights into
occupancy and energy usage. The new HRU750 will launch globally later
this year.

Additional Samsung products and solutions displayed at the booth include:

Lobby Experience

The lobby will showcase how hotels can leverage digital
displays to enhance guests first impression of the space and add an
extra dimension to the atmosphere. Samsung IF Series displays in fine
pixel pitches P1.2
and P1.5

realistic visuals. Samsung QLED
8K Signage equipped with AI-upscaling technology produces lifelike
images and provides an immersive viewing experiences in true-to-life
colors. Its slim design, at less than 40mm deep, provides hassle-free
installation and, with Samsung’s advanced optical technology, the screen
blends into nearly any environment. JBL

variety of décors with their contemporary high-design look, will also be
showcased in the lobby area.

Meeting Room Collaboration

The Samsung
Flip digital flipcharts will be on display in the meeting room in
both 55- and 65-inches. The Flip is designed to drive greater
collaboration and expand presentation capabilities, making it ideal for
all types of meetings, from training to group brainstorming. The UHD
display supports up to four simultaneous writers so teams can work
together with ease in any location. For a seamless room reservation
process, hoteliers and guests can leverage the AMX
AcendoBook Touchpanel that integrates directly with platforms like
Office 365 and Google Calendar. Interface background color and built-in
room availability bars shift between red and green to depict room
availability, so users can easily locate and book an available room
directly from the panel.

Guestroom Accommodations

In addition to the new HRQ750 and HRU750 Series, the guestroom also
features the next generation of the LYNK
HMS, the sleeker, faster and more powerful LYNK HMS 3.0. Leveraging
the benefits of Tizen 5.0 paired with Telkonet’s
Ecosmart devices for in-room control, LYNK HMS 3.0 allows guests to
use the Room Control app to power the lights on and off, control the
thermostat and drapery or activate the ‘do-not-disturb’ sign. The
three-part solution also streamlines operations with room management and
can reduce costs while improving energy efficiency. Also in the
guestroom section is the Harman
Kardon Enchant Series soundbars featuring Multibeam, a technology
that delivers incredible surround sound without extra speakers or wires.
Guests can experience deep bass without the need of an additional
subwoofer. Compatible with the Samsung HMS solution, Harman Voice
Control allows the guest to adjust room settings simply by speaking
commands.

Outdoor Enhancements

The outdoor area will demonstrate how the Samsung OHF
Outdoor Series can be utilized in hospitality environments. It is
conveniently and easily installed, designed and operated with a thin,
all-in-one solution, which allows hoteliers to upgrade their space
without hassle. With excellent visibility under direct sunlight through
2,500-nit high brightness and anti-reflection glass, the OHF Series
displays optimally convey messaging to virtually any viewer in any
location. The highly weather resistant JBL
Control 88M Landscape Speakers are designed for outdoor applications
and provide full-range sound quality with 360-degree coverage. The
speakers can be mounted on or in the ground and their tough polyethylene
enclosure resists any damage from lawn care equipment and the elements.

Wireless access points are installed throughout the booth to showcase
the safe and secure Wi-Fi built for hospitality and other high-density
environments. With total property coverage, PMS integration and seamless
