MULTI-SCREEN CONTROLLER FOR VIDEO/DATA DISPLAY

The MediaWallŽ is a fully real time video/data wall processor for arrays of projectors, cubes or flat panel displays. Unique among display wall processors, the MediaWall is based on a custom, high performance architecture rather than a PC, with faster updates, more display flexibility, robustness and security. Real time display of all inputs is guaranteed under all conditions, without any dropped frames.

The MediaWall 2500 processor can display up to eight graphics and eight video signals over six screens, the model 2000, six graphics and six videos over four screens. Images can be displayed anywhere, any size, within or across screens, in correct aspect ratio or stretched to fit, in whole or zoomed to emphasize details. Unlike other video/data walls, the MediaWall processor has essentially no limits on display alternatives; the multi- screen array forms a truly virtual screen in which any display of windows is possible. No competitive video/data wall even comes close.

The system offers plug-and-play capability with a wide range of inputs. Graphics signals are selectable up to 1920 x 1200 pixels in RGB or DVI format. HDTV inputs are also supported. Standard video inputs may be composite, component or S-Video. Background images, up to the aggregate resolution of the display wall, can be loaded from compact flash cards or over a network.

Control is offered via RS-232 or Ethernet port. A web browser based control system provides both local and remote operation. The user interface provides a graphical representation of the wall with "drag and drop" window positioning and scaling.

The system offers 24/7 robustness. It comes packaged in a compact rack mountable enclosure with replaceable air filter, redundant power supplies, and thermostatically controlled fans, providing an excellent solution for challenging environments. Most importantly, the MediaWall processor provides the security and reliability of an embedded operating system and the absence of a disk drive.

The MediaWall processor works with any tiled display, with adjustments to compensate for dead spaces between panels on FPDs, as well as overlapped outputs to support edge blending on a continuous screen. Output resolution can be adjusted to the exact resolution of any display up to 1920 x 1200 pixels, the highest resolution of any data/video wall.

A full array of features include dynamic window sizing and positioning, smooth zooming within images, custom borders, titling, programmable presets, backgrounds, logos and an on-screen digital clock.

The MediaWall is unbeatable for mission critical, real time operations. And it is priced competitively with systems that cannot approach its flexibility or performance.
