Entelec presents Videowall Integration project: ‘Sky-Walker Videowall IP-Matrix'

From Entelecs point of view there exist several ways to build a central dispatching feed through video wall. On the one hand you have the traditional systems of video walls, including projectors. On the other hand -with the emergence of IP-video technology- ever more large LCD-screens are used, through which a virtual matrix can be created. Entelec proclaims Videowall Integration as ‘Sky-Walker Videowall IP-matrix' is a platform that both supports the traditional and modern method. As a result ‘Sky-Walker Videowall IP-matrix' is a platform that operates on video wall systems with large video wall displays as well as video walls constructed upon a few LCD-screens. Concerning central dispatching it's even possible to migrate in a transparent way between both systems ... thanks to the open integration Sky-Walker platform.

Scope  

The Videowall Integration project is characterized as a flexible display for baseband video and compressed streaming video. Video windows can be positioned anywhere on the wall, even on top of applications, e.g. streaming camera windows can be displayed on top of the Sky-Walker graphical user interface.

Floor plans can be dragged & dropped to the video wall viewers. In case an alarm occurs, the floor plan will automatically be switched, and will be marked by means of a red flashing border. Moreover you have the opportunity to switch a salvo, which is a preconfigured group of floor plans, easily. Just by pressing one single button on the Sky-Walker workstation a salvo can be switched to a group of views on the video wall. In no time, an operator can have a complete overview of the situation. 

Even sequences of floor plans can be created through simple dragging & dropping of the floor plans to/on the sequence object. The sequence displays a group of floor plans in 1 viewer, one after the other, with a time difference of a pre-programmed dwell time.

Alarms can be switched manually by selecting the alarm line from the alarm buffer and dropping it on the video wall viewer. The floor plan that corresponds with the alarm location will be showed on the wall. By means of a navigation keypad wall images can easily be proceeded.
