iVu4 (Horizontal or Vertical) Video Wall Controller

The iVu4-Hpro video wall / Multi-Screen controller helps in combining 4 (1×4) LCD displays to produce one large video wall. The iVu4-Hpro receives and displays the images or video content on any size LCD monitor with a selectable display mode and supports a maximum resolution of up to 4096 x 768 input video wall controller, 1 Dual-link DVI input, 4 Single-link DVI-D output (1 x 4) 1024×768 per display. The iVu4-Hpro is compatible with any brand of LCD monitor and suitable for large display applications in large advertising, medical imaging, simulation inc. flight, radar, gaming etc.., shopping centres, public gathering locations, fairs and exhibitions, sporting or music events.

To buy a large display for advertisement, for example 64 or 84 inches LCD, is too high to afford. A video wall is a group of smaller displays tiled together in a matrix to create one large display. EMS provides the controller box that drives the display over multi-screens. All the video wall controllers support different configurations of the video output signals. The videowall control (OSD) buttons are located on the front panel of the video wall controller for easy access, while all the video and power cables are connected to the rear panel for convenient cabling. The video controllers can be connected to LCD or DLP panels, video wall cubes, projectors or any monitor that accepts a DVI input signal.

The features of the iVu4-Hpro video wall controller include:

  • Fan-less design for any implementation
  • Provide 1 image source input Dual-Link DVI and 4 DVI-D outputs to four (1×4) monitors
  • 1. Display mode choice(Clone, full mode)
    2. Support (1×2),(1×3),(1×4)output selection
    3. Software OSD control
    4. GeniMASKTM bezel masking function

The iVu4-Hpro video wall controller supports various display modes that include:

 
  • Clone mode (1×1): The iVu4-Hpro unit displays the same content on the four screens
  • Full mode (1×4): The iVu4-Hpro unit divides the input image into four sections and places each 1/4 image per screen to fit to the selected resolution on each monitor. The full display also support mask enable and disable.
  • Up to 4096×768 Dual-Link DVI input and up to 4 * 1024×768 outputs per display
  • On Screen Display/Remote control functions for selecting; Display mode; Output resolution; Border mask enable/disable and frame wideness adjustment.
  • Bezel mask or screen border adjustment, this is quite an important function, normally the display will be ‘staggered” from screen to screen due to the use of conventional LCD/Plasma displays, but with this function you can adjust the display to be seamless, e.g mask-out the screen bezel enabling a visually seamless display.
  • RS-232 communication for remote control (if required)
  • Easy-DIY to install and control the videowall or multi-screens, either from a PC, Laptop, Remote control or Front Panel.
  • Multiple units can be used for larger screen configurations, e.g. by installing a dual channel graphics card into a PC then two iVu4-Hpros can be connected to enable a 1×8 video wall / multi-screen display or one iVu4-Hpro can be cascaded to four further units to enable a 1×16 videowall / multiscreens. All iVu controllers can be “mixed & Matched” to enable various display configurations.
  • Optional Live DVI/VGA video insertion, the XtremeRGB (optional purchase) can be installed within the PC that controls the iVu4Hpro, this will enable not only a videowall/multi-screen display with all of Windows applications, but also live video from other sources that provide DVI or VGA outputs, such as Servers, Workstations, Hdmi players, DVI cameras etc..
