Say goodbye to those traditional hardware-based, video wall controllers. You don’t have to be locked into a specific configuration and face replacement costs when the equipment can’t grow with a customer’s needs.
Instead, a software solution that runs on a simple PC or server offers flexible options and handles a growing video wall system with ease, including being able to operate more than 100 screens. Our FREE download, “Use a PC for a Simple, More Affordable Video Wall Controller,” provides details.
The advantages of using a PC as a video controller are many:
Cost effectiveness: Because software is the heart of the system, hardware replacement is a quick fix, should the need arise.
Flexibility: The input and output options are virtually unlimited with connections to displays over the network.
Security: With a Linux OS, the risk of malware and viruses is reduced.
Ease of use: “It’s a very simple solution. The learning curve was about 5 to 10 minutes …. It’s a very easy platform to use,” according to Sean Miller of Pro Sound, USA.
Diversity: Not only can a single computer control video wall displays, it also can support kiosks and digital signage all at the same time.
Content Support: Information can be displayed in multiple zones, multi-windows and picture-in-picture, as pre-recorded content, real-time video streams or interactive content
Layouts: Drag and drop visual configurations are available in any visual configuration, and screens can be rotated 360 degrees.
Configurations: Preset layouts can be set to easlity allow anyone to switch among them.
Cloud management: It’s possible to manage multi-site locations via the cloud.
