How do I control data sources on a video wall display?

A video wall will normally comprise of multiple LCD video wall displays or multiple LED modules to create a single, large video wall display area.

The specific project requirements will determine what types of data sources are required for display and control on the video wall, e.g., in security monitoring applications there will be a requirement for multiple CCTV camera feeds and other workstation data sources, such as access control and surveillance system data. In data centre applications there will be a great deal of system monitoring dash boards, many of which will be web-based sources.

A video wall controller provides the technology to allow all of these data sources to be connected for display on the video wall…but how do you then control them?

The controller utilises video wall control software to allow you to display all the data sources on the video wall, in the position and size that you require. 

The control software allows you to create and easily recall multiple display formats, such as single images across multiple screens or multiple images on single screens, to suit the specific situation or situations that are being managed at anytime.
