Type of Videowall Technology
Currently, there are 2 types of technologies being used for videowall controller; Hardware-based controllers or software-based PC controllers. The hardware-based video wall controllers are appliance-based processors and built on a proprietary FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) hardware platform, designed with a dedicated processor, high-speed cross-point video bus, and a customized and embedded operating system. Each has its own set of advantages and a few shortcomings, depending on the project, so you may want to do some research before picking one over the other. Additionally, the new IP-based video wall controller is a different method of deploying a video wall system typically in a complex control room or network operation center.
