Video-wall Processor

Overview

The Video Wall Processor is a high performance video processing workstation with pure

hardware architecture for spectacular video wall displaying which can be employed in fields

including education and research, government announcement, information publishing,

exhibition and show, controlling and commanding center, security monitoring, etc.

Advanced image processing technologies such as high definition video signal collecting,

real time and high resolution digital image processing ,and advanced three-dimensional

digital filtering are integrated in video-wall processor. Moreover, it also employs large-

capacity, high-speed FPGA and CrossPoint switch to ensure the real-time processing of all

input signal and the consistency of the data, leading to no image delay, discretization, frame

loss, which guarantee excellent video displaying.

Video-wall processor is compatible with a wide variety of input signal formats,

including ,CVBS,YPbPr, VGA, DVI, Dual-link DVI, HDMI, SDI, twisted pair signal,

optical signal, etc. The output signal of video-wall processor supports DVI-I, twisted pair signal, and optical signal. For DVI-I signal, RGB analogue signal and DVI digital signal can be transmitted concurrently, which means that when video signals displayed on a video- wall, it can also be backup and transmitted to another group of displays simultaneously.

Video-Wall processor supports maximum four windows in a single screen allows users to view more video signals with limited screens. The layout of the windows can be configured separately which offers flexibility and convenience. Input Signal Preview All input signals can be previewed in the UI of software before being displayed on the screens.
Page 4 Video-Wall processor employs RRTA( Resolution Real-time Total adaptation) technology in order to support customised resolutions for different groups of screens, in other words the resolution for each group of screens can be configured separately in the software which offers flexibility and convenience for daily application and management . Graphic Cropping and Signal Upscaling The graphics of all input video signals can be freely cropped to remove the black edge.
