RGB Spectrum calls its MediaWall V Display Processor “the world’s first true 4K video wall processor, offering up to 4K resolution I/O, single wire connectivity and fully scalable windows.”

A new MediaWall V display processor now includes a second, larger chassis and expanded features bringing more flexibility and capability to the product line.

This new Model 550 MediaWall V wall processor offers more inputs and outputs in HD and 4K Ultra UHD) formats (but, no specification for color bit depth). Input capacity has been doubled to 36 direct sources plus IP inputs. Increased output capacity supports wall arrays of up to 24 HD/2K displays or up to 12 4K/UHD displays.

Functionality is further expanded with new switched output modules. These can take the place of an external matrix switcher, providing up to 18 additional outputs, a convenient, cost-effective way to route sources to other displays, operator control stations, conference rooms, or other downstream devices such as digital video recorders. Any input can be routed to any number of outputs, providing significant switching flexibility built right into the display processor.

These expanded input and output capabilities enhance RGB Spectrum’s MultiPoint Control Room Management System (MCMS) which adds arbitrated KVM control over system resources for the ultimate in control room management.

An optional Application Processor decodes incoming IP streams. IP camera and other H.264 streams at resolutions up to 4K/UHD (3840×2160/30) are decoded on a separate processor embedded in the MediaWall V chassis. This unique dual-processor architecture guarantees adequate CPU resources to video wall operations while the second processor handles IP decoding.

A Scottish centre for entrepreneurship, Elevator choses Pro Display’s Ultra Black rear projection film for its new cutting edge Aberdeen headquarters.

The Scottish company Elevator took up residence in new premises in Aberdeen in October 2014-- a cutting edge, £1 million office fit-out included converting a large glass partition in the welcome area into a large rear projection screen.

Elevator selected Pro Display’s Ultra Black rear projection film, a new product designed to deliver deep blacks, exceptional contrast and rich colours. Previously only available as a rigid projection screen, this self-adhesive film option brings the benefits of Ultra Black to a much wider range of audio-visual installations.

The projection film is supplied complete with a self-adhesive layer ready for application to existing windows, office partitions, or purpose-made glass or acrylic screens. Elevator contracted experienced signage firm Autograph Signs to install the film.

The finished screen measures a huge 3.5m by 2m with the image projected on the rear of the glass panel.

Andy Campbell, Elevator’s Accelerator Project Manager, says “Our new Centre for Entrepreneurship was created with the intention of encouraging entrepreneurial spirit, collaboration and to boost creativity. The aim of the projection screen is to engage visitors with our latest projects, initiatives, events and guidance. It also acts as an educational tool for our seminars, and to add visual interest to the meeting space between times. The screen continues to be a very impactful welcome to our visitors, from school pupils to entrepreneurs with established businesses.”

Andrew Boyle of Autograph Signs adds, “Installing high-end projection film onto glass needs patience, accuracy, and a lot of experience. We’re very happy with the results and hope that Elevator gets many years of use from its new projection screen.”
