| About
The Controller |
The
display system consists of a multi-screen graphics controller working
on Microsoft Windows XP platform. The controller drives multiple monitors
or cubes to form one large logical screen called data wall/ high resolution
display wall. The total resolution of the wall system is the sum of
the resolutions of the cubes used. The wall displays Microsoft Windows
XP compatible graphics desktop with graphics, live video and RGB input
windows. The live video windows capture and visualize full motion
video from multiple PAL or NTSC sources. The RGB windows display RGB
input sources in real time. The system supports Linux/Unix environments
also by providing X Windows compatible graphics surface for displaying
remote X11 compatible applications.
The customized controllers control up to 45 projector screens and
64 live video or RGB inputs in Windows XP software and latest Intel
XEON processor based special hardware environment. The cubes are
controlled by analogue RGB or digital DVI/TMDS signals. The graphics,
live video and RGB windows can cover multiple screens since the
windows can cross the borders of cubes.The controllers handle multiple
video and RGB input sources per cube simultaneously depending on
the model selected.

| High
Resolution Display wall with Controller |
| The controller systems offer perfect
solution for any data wall or control room visualization need. Integration
of high-technology hardware and software components ensures the best
graphics performance over the entire wall surface. Equipped with a
comprehensive software suite and capability for video and RGB analogue
input handling, the controller satisfies the needs of the most demanding
command-and-control applications.
Advanced tools guarantee brilliant, full frame, de-interlaced and
comb-filtered video visualization The RGB input processing guarantees
real time display of RGB inputs with unlimited zoom capability.

1) Control of multiple cubes in matrix
to form one large graphics screen.
2) Creation of the Windows desktop over the virtual surface of the
cubes.
3) Display of standard Windows graphics applications. Integration
of Linux/Unix environment by providing X11 graphics surface.
4) Wall management for set-up and display of all the video, RGB and
LAN inputs.
a. Display of video information from camera, satellite receiver, VCR
or DVD inputs.
b. Display of RGB inputs from computers.
c. Display of RGB information through the LAN. |

The graphics/display wall can be constructed from
2 up to 45 monitors or cubes. Any number of screens and arrangements
can be controlled by special configurations. Resolution for one output
channel can be programmed from VGA up to 1600x1200 pixels. The resolution
of the display wall is the sum of the resolutions of monitors or projectors
used to build up the surface. The user of this large virtual wall
of multiple projectors can use the whole area as one coherent screen. |

| Main
Blocks and Hardware |
The
main constituents of the display wall architecture are the Controller
unit, Input peripherals, Input Signals, Analogue RGB, Digital TMDS,
and an optional VGA output and monitor.
The controller workstation is a customized computer configuration
using the latest high-technology Intel processor and industry standard
PCI bus based hardware system. The platform, the number of screens
controlled, the main memory size, the HDD store capacity and the
networking are tailored to the customer's needs. Standard components
and interfaces are used for cost effective solutions that allow
later extensions as well. The controller's standard operating system
is Microsoft Windows XP Professional English package. Complex software
packages can organize remote operators' work and control of the
wall.
The controller works with standard keyboard and 3-button mouse
peripherals as input devices. The user of the workstation or the
remote users can control all the functions of the wall using these
peripherals. theetwork interface and proprietary software package.
