Video Wall / Multi Screen Controllers with or without Real-Time Video Overlays
A Video/Data wall makes it possible to view all information on a virtually large high resolution display comprising of many “smaller” screens using Plasma/LCD/Projectors or normal CRT Monitors. The entire video/data wall will act as one large Windows desktop, hence applications can be launched and placed onto any single or combination of screens if not fully maximized onto all available screens. The source of the displayed objects can be data from your PC, e.g. PowerPoint Presentation, Flash, internet browser, Graphical Data/Charts, Share index’s, Control room data etc.
The displayed objects can also be combined with external live video HDMI/DVI/VGA or component using our XtremeRGB-Ex1, XtremeRGB-Ex2, XtremeRGB-Ex4 or PhynxRGB cards, for Composite or Svideo the XtremeRGB-Ex4+ or the XtremeRGB-Ex8 can be used. All XtremeRGB cards can be mixed & matched. The source video can be from Sky Set-Top box, DVD, Camera, Web Cam, Aerial Cartography, Medical training/teaching, Network Surveillance, Telecommunications, Video Conferencing, VGA captured from other PC’s and many more applications.
