Vizrt presents Viz Video Wall ER, the solution that provides a whole new way
of displaying content.
Viz Video Wall ER has practically no limits when it comes to wall size or
layout. The solution allows to create unique installations that surround the
viewer and go far beyond the capacity of traditional video-wall setups. Viz
Video Wall ER has a wide range of purposes in addition to regular studio
broadcasting. For example, it is perfectly suited to entertainment and
educational productions, as well as interactivity in live broadcasting. In
addition, outdoor environments present no limitation. Viz Video Wall ER
integrates with other Vizrt solutions seamlessly, without requiring a change
in the workflow.
It’s surprisingly easy
Moving from a traditional way of displaying content towards Viz Video Wall ER
technology is simple. Adopting the new technology is intuitive for both
administrators and users, and the solution is cost-effective and
future-proof for the organization.
Continuity
Even though output changes dramatically, working routines remain the same. Viz
Video Wall ER seamlessly integrates with established workflows. This means
that designers, journalists and control room operators can concentrate on
what they do best – the creative process.
Flexibility
With Viz Video Wall ER, broadcasters can start out small-scale, then expand if
needed. A basic installation includes two Viz Engines, which includes all
the benefits of a full installation. Such a setup produces quality output
over any number screens.
Quality enhancement
If the need for more power and higher resolution arises, the installation can
be easily upgraded.
Every additional engine increases the graphics capabilities so that virtually
unlimited resolutions and wall sizes can be achieved. The workflow for the
operator remains the same, no matter how many engines are being used. When
two or more Viz Engines are used in tandem, the rendering load can be split
asymmetrically. This means that the resolution of one area of the screen can
be higher than another. This is particularly useful when the camera is
taking a close-up and parts of the screen are shown in detail, which
requires a higher resolution display. With Viz Video Wall ER, pixelated
low-quality images are a thing of the past.
New purposes
Viz Video Wall ER makes it possible to create unique installations that
surround the viewer and go far beyond the capacity of traditional video-wall
setups. In addition to regular studio broadcasting, Vizrt’s solution suits
both entertainment and educational purposes. It can also be used in live
broadcasting through touch-interactive screen surfaces, and outdoors, for
large display panels, as in sports stadiums.
Integration
Viz Video Wall ER can easily be integrated into existing Vizrt solutions. It
is possible to create powerful 3D effects with Viz Artist that take the
impact of video walls to a whole new level.
Typical configuration
A typical configuration consists of a video wall with 12 screens, which are
driven by three Viz Engines. The operator controls the content using either
Viz Content Pilot or Viz Trio. The graphical content is then sent to the
Video Wall Distributor Server, which splits each scene in three parts
(according to parameters laid down in the initial setup). The server also
guarantees that the three Viz Engines are synchronized. Each Viz Engine then
renders its designated part of the video wall, sending the data to the
distribution box, which then distributes each of the three signals to
different parts of the wall.
