Modular video wall processor accepting up to 16 HDMI inputs and driving up to 8 True 4K outputs through interchangeable input and output boards for LED video walls.

Features

Accepts up to 16 HDMI input ports and 8 HDMI output ports
Compact, yet competent for LED video walls in small-to-medium sized mission-critical environments
Modular board compatibility – Contains 7 board slots (4 input card slots, 2 output card slots, and 1 CPU board slot) to support multiple I/O boards for flexible configuration and future expandability
Superior Visual Quality for Mission-Critical Communications
FPGA architecture – supports True 4K inputs, near-zero-second seamless source switching, and outputs without delay
True 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) scalability – supports custom resolutions and enables upscaling of video signals for crystal clear, accurate imagery regardless of the display size or type from LED, LCD, DLP, to other large screens
Decodes high density H.265 / H.264 IP channels (via VW754) – ideal for surveillance control rooms and real-time monitoring scenarios
Advanced video wall engine – allows easy window management via cropping, overlapping, picture-by-picture, picture-in-picture, bezel compensation, and more
Multi-resolution support – allows mix-and-match of displays of different resolutions
FrameSync – ensures that all output signals remain synchronized to prevent image tearing and frame mismatch, providing seamless playback across multiple displays
EDID Expert™ – selects optimum EDID settings for smooth power-up, high quality display and use of the best video resolution across different screens
Customizable logos / color schemes / calendar / clock / scrolling texts
Reliable 24/7 Operation
Backup Mode 2x VW1608s daisy chain – the secondary unit continuously mirrors all system settings and configurations from a primary one in real time and takes control automatically when primary unit malfunction occurs for uninterrupted display performance
Expansion Mode with 3x VW1608s daisy chain – up to 24 display outputs supported for larger video wall installation with centralized control being conducted by the primary unit while ensuring synchronized video output clocks across all units and consistent, frame-accurate playback without tearing
Optimum component redundancy via a hot-standby CPU control board, dual redundant power boards (2 slots), and hot-swappable I/O boards as well as fan module
Direct and Remote Configurations and Control Methods
Direct control via RS-232 / Ethernet and the front panel buttons
Local HDMI output – monitor input signals and video wall layouts via Single / Array mode at up to 1080p in real-time from one display
Remote control via web GUI, Telnet, and SSH to preview input signals in real-time and control outputs including content placement and management of up to 4 canvases
Multiview – source monitoring in 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 layouts from a single display
Integration with ATEN Control System and the 3rd party devices via RS 232 / Ethernet / RESTful API
Built-in USB Type-A ports – video wall background image change and firmware upgrade
