Video Display Walls

Video display walls, often referred to as video, or data walls, are comprised of individual display devices placed edge to edge to produce a larger unified display. The video display wall can be increased in overall size by adding displays horizontally and/or vertically. These video walls can be configured to display either, or both video and data signals. Although some video display walls are designed to display a single source on each screen as you might see in a television production studio, the most common method is to "stack" projection cubes and connect them to a video wall processor. A projection cube can be described as a "projector in a box". Projection cubes are excellent for video display walls because of their large screen size relative to the depth of their enclosure. For example, there are 60" diagonal hi-resolution models available that are only 10 inches deep. These projection cubes are modular, easy to handle and service. Simplicity of maintenance and relative low cost of ownership are major benefits. Although projection cubes can be more expensive than their big-projector cousins, they offer many advantages that justify the higher initial cost. When married with a video wall processor, also referred to as a video wall controller, the video wall displays a Windows desktop mirroring what you'd see on a PC. Additional inputs can be added to the video wall processor to display satellite and camera feeds, as well as DVD and VCR signals. The processor allows an operator to select network applications, size and move them seamlessly across the video display wall. Video display walls can display a broad range of sources that allow the user to access and utilize the information in a consistent and intuitive way. As a monitoring tool the video display wall enhances the user's effectiveness in responding to problems as they arise. An example of a modular, self-contained video display wall system is the Americon VisionMaster. This display system's free-standing cabinet saves floor space and money and if required, can be enclosed in dry wall.
