Advantech and Matrox partner on video wall solutions
The solutions include Matrox validated industrial serverboards, chassis, and Advantech Video Wall Controllers, the AVS series pre-configured systems designed for 8-output and 20-output video walls, and will aim to enable OEMs and system integrators to create video wall solutions for various markets such as control rooms, digital signage or video conference. Advantech has developed a series of industrial serverboards, chassis and pre-configured systems (AVS series products) supporting two to five Mura MPX cards. For instance, the AVS-540 pre-configured system or ASMB-822 serverboard with five PCIe x16 slots can support five Mura MPX cards, allowing for a maximum of twenty video source inputs and display outputs corresponding to twenty monitors.
To further illustrate this with a practical factory control-room scenario, eight of the inputs could be connected to surveillance system NVR machines or directly to CCTV cameras that monitor the working fields or important equipment; ten connected to operator workstations running production management, process management, access control software programs; and the other two connected to the servers running various SCADA software. All information can be immediately displayed on the video wall. The Mura MPX series, featuring Gen 2.0 PCI Express x16 connection interface, provides up to a maximum of four inputs and four outputs on a single card that can capture a variety of input sources then scale, rotate, position and display them across the video wall canvas in real-time.
Video source feeds may include live videos from surveillance cameras, satellite signal receivers, high resolution HDCP-encrypted content from Blu–ray Disc players, software operating screens of PCs, servers, pads, etc. Users can configure the video display wall with great flexibility, opening one or multiple sessions on each display or spanning a single spreadsheet across several monitors—depending on the focus requirements of any given situation.
