eyevis will present the new eyeCON V5.1 for the first time at ISE 2014.

With the current update, the eyeCON V5.1 wall management software becomes even more user-friendly. The newly integrated active directory support allows for the transfer of existing user structures into the rights management of eyeCON V5.1. Now wall management software can be implemented in existing network structures even more easily.

Due to the complete network integration of the eyeCON V5.1 software flexible control of large scale image systems, control of all connected sources and the distribution of information in control and presentation rooms are possible. eyeCON V5.1 is completely based on client/server technology which makes all information in the network globally accessible and thus offers the possibility to exchange this information between displays, large scale video walls and workstations.

At ISE 2014, tvONE will show off its CORIOmaster mini with “The Real-Time Video Windmill,” a novel display featuring a rotating array that maintains a stable horizon while its four 46” flat panel displays (all showing video) rotate 360° in real-time.

Video sources will include live showroom floor video as well as compelling streaming media. To showcase its full potential, the CORIOmaster mini will alternate between displaying a stable horizon while displays rotate, rotating video in sync with the displays, or counter-rotating video in the opposite direction of the rotating displays.

tvONE’s CORIOmaster mini enables a range of video manipulation tasks to be performed simultaneously, including real-time 360° video rotations and multi-projector edge blending. It is the industry’s first videowall processor to fit up to 12 High Density Universal DVI or 10 HDBaseT and 2 High Density Universal DVI ports in a compact 1RU frame, controlling full-scale 3x3 videowalls without a rack’s worth of discrete video components.

Only now am I reading The Hunger Games trilogy, so Odeon Cinemas may forgive me for missing their Leicester Square opening a couple months back.

NEC Display Solutions Europe and Odeon installed one of the largest displays of its kind in a public square – an LED digital display measuring 107 square metres – on the facade of the Odeon Leicester Square in London’s West End.

The huge display – the size of half a basketball court – replaces the old poster board and is flanked by two 18 square metre displays in one of the UK’s most prominent. 90 million tourists every year walk by and stare up at that display: with or without The Hunger Games draw.
