Multi-Window Display Controller for "4K" 8 Megapixel Displays

January 27, 2009, Alameda, CA - Recently introduced "4K" LCD panels and projectors with 3840 x 2160 pixels provide outstanding resolution. To address the potential of these displays, RGB Spectrum offers the MediaWall® real time video/data multiviewer with full 8 megapixel resolution. Unique among display processors, the MediaWall processor offers a custom, high performance architecture rather than a PC, with faster updates, more display flexibility, robustness and security. Real time display of all inputs is guaranteed under all conditions, without any dropped frames.

The MediaWall processor can display up to 6 PC and 6 video signals on a screen with the Model 2000, or 8 PC and 8 video with the Model 2500. Images can be displayed anywhere, any size, within or across the screen, in correct aspect ratio or stretched to fit, in whole or zoomed to emphasize details. Unlike other video/data multiviewers, the MediaWall processor has essentially no limits on display alternatives.

The system offers plug-and-play capability with a wide range of inputs. It accepts PC signals up to 1920 x 1200 pixels and HD inputs up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. Standard video inputs include composite, component and S-Video. Background images, up to 3840 x 2160, can be loaded from compact flash cards or over a network.

Control is via RS-232 or Ethernet. Our web browser based control system provides both local and remote operation. The user interface provides a graphical representation of the wall with "drag and drop" window positioning and scaling.

The MediaWall processor offers 24/7 robustness. It comes packaged in a compact rack mount enclosure with replaceable air filter, redundant power supplies, and thermostatically controlled fans, providing an excellent solution for challenging environments. Most importantly, the MediaWall processor is a dedicated system, not a PC, providing the security and reliability of an embedded operating system with no disk drives.

The MediaWall processor works with any "4K" display. Four DVI connections deliver full resolution to the display device.

A full array of features include dynamic window sizing and positioning, smooth zooming within images, custom borders, titling, programmable presets, backgrounds, logos, and digital clock, on-screen cursor control, and a KvM control option.

The MediaWall processor is unequaled for medical and control room operations demanding the highest possible resolution.
