Intelligent networking of video walls
eyeCON Meta Wall 2.0 and new intelligent EPU LCD displays enables flexible
expandability of video walls
The requirements on AV technology in control and conference rooms are getting more and
more complex. If, for example in the field of security, individual control rooms are
consolidated into integrated control centres, AV technology has to be able to manage the
additional tasks and the increasing number of signal sources. This requires premium video
wall and display systems. Here, seamless rear-projection cubes, LCD displays with LED
backlight, high brightness, full HD resolution, brilliant colour representation and 24/7 reliability
are a standard. But advanced control rooms or modern office concepts like flex office require
more than just premium visualization.
Complete systems that enable an uncomplicated installation, simple controls and flexible
expandability are required. Basis for this is the network architecture for the signal distribution
and the control of the video walls and the single displays. These have to be flexibly
adjustable to changing requirements and to be easily extended as needed. Moreover, an
easy real-time transmission of data over the network has to be possible. In order to fulfil
these standards, eyevis has developed eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 and the new series of the
intelligent EPU LCD displays. In the new EPU displays all image processing electronics are
integrated into the display through the eyeProcessing unit (EPU).
Intelligent networking of video walls and displays
eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 is a flexible software-based system for signal transmission and the
control of video walls and single displays. Through eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 several video walls
and single displays can be interconnected to a single user interface above the limit of one
graphics controller. In addition to graphics controllers of the netPIX series eyeCON MetaWall
2.0 also supports the new intelligent eyevis EPU displays. Combined with the eyevis
streaming solutions, the construction and operation of virtually unlimited video walls and
display installations on basis of standard IP networks is possible.
In the process, input signals are transferred via a standard IP network, internet or cloud and
are extracted from the network by graphics controllers or intelligent displays, depending on
the installation at hand. Management, scaling and assignment of all input signals are
controlled through eyeCON V5.1. The software visualizes all sources on a desktop surface
and in this way allows for the uncomplicated distribution of the signals to the single
reproducers. Every eyeProcessing unit takes over the function of a split controller which is
integrated in the display. With eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 technology several EPU displays are
grouped to serve as one large split controller. This system is redundant and thus, guarantees
highest availability.
Infinite flexibility for integrators
Press release
Since both intelligent displays with direct control as well as video wall displays that are
controlled through graphics controllers can be integrated into eyeCON MetaWall 2.0,
integrators receive unforeseen flexibility. All components can be combined with each other
as needed. The operation of graphics controllers for instance is especially makes sense for
control rooms with SCADA applications. EPU displays on the contrary are ideal if several
single displays are allotted to different rooms or for a cost-efficient extension of existing
systems. Thanks to the integrated to the integrated image processing of the display units the
installation becomes decisively simpler. In addition to the power cable only a simple network
cable needs to be connected to the EPU display.
eyevis offers the new EPU displays as stand-alone displays with screen diagonals from 46’’
to 65’’ type EYE-LCD-4600-LE-EPU, EYE-LCD-5500-LE-EPU, EYE-LCD-6500-LE-EPU as
well as seamless video wall display type EYE-LCD-5500-USN-LD-FX-EPU. With full HD
resolution, edge- or direct LED backlight, high brightness up to 700 cd/m², a contrast of
4000:1 the eyevis displays are perfectly suited for demanding applications. With a minimal
bezel of only 5,3 mm the EYE-LCD-5500-USN-LD-FX-EPU is also ideal for the construction
of fixed modular video walls. As high-performance split controllers, the eyeProcessing units
are perfectly tailored to the needs of eyeCON MetaWall 2.0. eyevis offers the units in three
different configurations. Depending on the performance of the different versions the EPUs
are able to process and display 1, 4 or 8 full HD signals.
