Everyone talks about AV over IP, but Userful wants to talk about making it less expensive and more flexible. That’s why a network-based video wall controller was on prominent display at the Userful InfoComm 2018 booth.
That network-based video wall controller solution can drive up to 100 displays from a single PC all over a standard Ethernet network. Each display uses a receiver with network-in and HDMI-out which allows everything to be managed in a browser; either from a tablet, phone or computer. (Learn more in the video above)
According to Tim Griffin, CTO, the advantages to Userful’s AV over IP video wall system are many:
- no limits to capture sources
- no limits to live web pages
- no limits to outputs
- any layout accepted, including artistic, mosaic-styles
- up to 8K source content compatibility in real time

“It’s impossible with most video wall solutions to cram in enough video cards to get even more than 20 or 30 displays,” Griffin says. “You can have a tablet used to control the mapping of the screens with sources on the left and displays on the right – you can drag different sources to different displays.”
More from Userful on their network-based video wall controller:
“In the past, people used to worry about performance and latency of solutions delivered over the network, but with Userful that’s not a concern. We use a PC/Server on site and then connect to displays over the Local Area Network and can deliver 8k source video over the LAN with no latency.
You can still manage the solution through the cloud, and yes, because it’s software based and delivered over the network you also get all the benefits in scalability and flexibility you’re looking for.”
