Operating principle and basic technical characteristics of video walls
18/05/12
A video wall is a large screen which consists of separate modules. Each module is an LCD or LED panel.
Video-walls traditionally differ in the following ways:
-number of modules in the video-wall
-size of modules (42, 46 and 55-inch)
-thickness of frames between modules (from 5 mm to 22 mm)
-time of continuous use
-brightness
Other important parameters are:
-image format (4: 3, 16: 9)
-installation of video walls: wall, floor or pendant
Functionally, a video wall consists of:
-the panels
-a switch
-a capture device and video signal processor (video controller, video-server)
-video wall installation bracket
Options depending on the number of display sources:
1. one source, one picture on the wall
2. the video wall, a few sources, for a total resolution of 1080
3. one wall, multiple sources for ultra high resolution
Display walls also are:
-from LEDs (often stage equipment or outdoor screens)
-from video cubes (controller’s offices)
The usage of video-walls:
-video walls for control and situational centers (utility or energy companies, MES)
-video walls for exhibitions, conferences and symposium
-video walls for museums, libraries, concert halls
-video walls for governmental and administrative structures (you can find them in our…….)
-video walls for clubs (you can find them in our……) bars, restaurants
-Street and advertising video walls
