Putting the System Integrator in control; making life easier with Hiperwall.

Distributed visualisation

Hiperwall software is leading the industry with its distributed visualisation architecture. Instead of using a single computer or server for processing, like traditional platforms, Hiperwall’s unique and powerful system distributes the visual processing load to each computer in the Hiperwall network.

Every time a computer running Hiperwall software is added to the Hiperwall network, it not only adds a new content source or destination, but it also adds more processing power.

As a result, the total processing power of the Hiperwall system automatically increases as the number of components increases. This means that large walls do not outgrow the processing capabilities of the complete Hiperwall system and ensures that operators have the power to display a huge number of sources at one time.

Standard Ethernet

Where legacy video wall systems typically require a complex combination of servers, matrix switches, and distribution amplifiers to deliver content to a video wall, the only infrastructure that Hiperwall needs is Ethernet. By eliminating this myriad of equipment, the Hiperwall system significantly reduces cost, complexity, space requirements, energy use, and cable clutter.

Meanwhile, the pressure is off the System Integrator’s ‘get it right first time’ strategy – there is now no end of ‘wiggle-room’! Simply flood the facility with gigabit Ethanet cabling at an early stage in the development process to save time and money down the line. The cost of redundant cable is so much lower than the cost of replacing broken cables and connections once a room is fully installed.

Hardware agnostic

The major advantage of a network-based video wall controller is that the System Integrator is free to use any equipment brand of his choice – display, PC or network switches, even repurposing existing hardware. By leveraging existing supplier relationships, System Integrators can be mindful of end user cashflow, and as equipment manufacturers enhance their products, the whole system can improve incrementally. This future-proof approach ensures your system will grow with you, always harnessing the latest technologies whilst limiting wastage.

Unlimited scalability

An IP-based system can link together as many displays as needed. There’s no limit to the size of videowall; add a further display for the Incident Room manager; a projector in the break-out room and collaboration displays in the briefing room – each addition requires no more effort that fitting the display to the network. It simply becomes another ‘drag & drop’ destination for sources, quickly improving the control room system’s operational performance. With Hiperwall, the system can develop incrementally as the end users’ needs change in the future.
