What Types of Video Wall Processors Can I Choose?

 When considering investing in a 4K video wall, there are some important factors you need to keep in mind. In this guide, we'll take a look at what a video wall is, some of the technology behind it, and the four types of video walls used for different applications ranging from basic to complex.

What is a video wall？

A video wall is a type of multi-display wall that displays a larger image or windows of multiple images by connecting multiple screens together. The display technology can be LCD or LED panels, tiles, cubes or projection screens. A video wall can be as simple as one image from a single source stretched across multiple screens. These types of video walls offer greater flexibility, control, scalability and creativity.

Display Screens

When planning your video wall, consider what type of display you want to use. You can choose from LED and LCD panels, tiles, cubes and projector systems. Not all displays have the same brightness or resolution, and these specifications are likely to be important decision criteria. The more detail and clarity you require, the higher the resolution you'll need. You also need to consider the width of the monitor's bezel. Newer monitors have ultra-narrow bezels, resulting in a perfect image.

Video Wall Processors

Today, the terms video wall processor and video wall controller are often used interchangeably. Their basic job is to split the video content for each display in a multi-display wall. A video wall processor is a video scaler that ensures that each source signal goes to the correct screen at the correct resolution. It acquires the image and sends it to each screen to be displayed as one large, cohesive image. The video processor is responsible for taking the various inputs and putting them together. An advanced video wall processor can take content from multiple sources and display it on multiple screens. A video wall processor is similar to a traditional video scaler, but with greater input, output and processing power.

Video Scalers

Sometimes, video wall processors can be located close to the display and can be connected directly via video cable. In other applications, video wall processors may need to be located in server rooms or IT rooms that are too far away to use standard video cables. In these cases, a video extender is required to transmit the video signal from the video wall processor to the display. For cable distances as short as 30 feet, a video extender may be required. Some IP-based systems use small receivers (one per monitor) that can be mounted on the back of the monitor. In these cases, signal extension is done over the LAN and no additional video extension is required.

Advanced Video Walls

Advanced video walls are screens that support a large number of different form factors (e.g., 3x2, 3x4, 6x4, etc.) and provide a canvas-style user and display interface on which many content windows can be dynamically moved or adjusted. Advanced video wall processors typically support dozens of screens and many types of video inputs. These types of video wall processors can also support local decoding of IP streams to display a large number of streams from devices such as IP-based security cameras or other remote sources. Some are also capable of encoding video sources to be shared with other sites or users. Advanced video walls are found in mission-critical control rooms that need to be up and running 24/7.

When considering which type of video wall fits your unique needs, you first need to consider how you intend to use the video wall. Do you want a simple digital signage type display, a large state-of-the-art control room wall or something in between? What environment will the video wall be used in: military/tactical, security, utilities, retail, education, transportation, museums, industrial, conference rooms, etc.

Prismatic vs Pouch vs Cylindrical Lithium Ion Battery Cell

图片
  Lithium-ion batteries  have become the energy storage solution of choice for a myriad of applications, ranging from portable electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Within the realm of lithium-ion technology, there are various cell designs, each with its unique characteristics and applications. In this article, we delve into the world of prismatic, pouch, and cylindrical lithium-ion battery cells, comparing their structures, advantages, and use cases.   What is a Prismatic Cell in a Lithium Battery? A  prismatic cell  is a type of lithium-ion battery cell that is characterized by its rectangular or square shape. Unlike cylindrical cells, which are tubular, lithium prismatic cells have a flat and often stackable design. The electrode materials are typically arranged in layers, and the cell is enclosed in a sturdy metal casing. These cells are often used in applications where space efficiency is crucial, as their flat shape allows for bett...

A Guide to Commercial Heat Pumps for Business

图片
Commercial heat pumps   take natural thermal energy from the air, ground, or water and turn it into heat that can be used for hot water and heating systems. They are an alternative to the traditional gas boilers that are currently used to heat business properties up and down the country.   How does a commercial heat pump work? Heat pumps operate by moving heat from one location to another, eliminating the need to burn fuel for heat generation. Businesses have access to three primary types of heat pumps:   -  Air source heat pumps  in commercial settings function by extracting heat from the air and transferring it to a fluid. This fluid is then directed through a heat exchanger to heat water for taps, showers, radiators, and other heating systems.   - Ground source heat pumps for commercial buildings operate by circulating a blend of water and antifreeze through a buried loop of piping on the business premises. The heat from the ground is absorbed into the f...

The Ultimate Guide to Split solar LED street light

图片
  Hongzhun Split solar LED street light s  are a great way to provide lighting to a street, roadway or highway without trenching in traditional grid power. As a result, solar LED street lights can lower installation costs, reduce the need for tons of wiring, and reduce the maintenance and project costs over the system's life. And since they are independent of the grid, you don't have to worry about problems down the line affecting every light, such as blackouts or breaks in the underground lines. A reputable solar lighting manufacturer  completes many steps to ensure proper illumination is provided while providing the correct solar power assembly for the operation of the fixtures. Solar lighting manufacturers work with lighting engineers and designers to ensure light levels are met for specific applications. They also look at other sets of information, such as solar insolation, to make sure the lights are appropriately sized for the project. Let's look at these steps and ...
