1. Product Description
IPVDS-500-ED, 4K HDMI IP Video Wall Controller, is an integrated control solution that plays
multi-source of audio/video (such as PC, Media player, DVD, or Blu-ray) on the video wall system
and multiple individual displays simutaneously.
This solution offers advanced video/audio matrix feature as well as control of video wall system
which divide high quality video source(4K30Hz or 1080p60Hz) into multiple video walls with using
IPVDS-500-E(encoder) and IPVDS-500-D(decoder) on IP network. IPVDS-500 enables convenient
system configuration and control for AV system integrator and installer, and cost-efficiency
compared to complicated matrix system. For these reasons, solution using IPVDS-500-ED provides
optimal soltion not only to large video wall system like control room, security, traffic control
system, but also to general venues like conference room, classroom, presentation room, and
worship service.
Program provided for system control offers preview function for source devices, and various
display configuration like merging, overlaying, clearing of displays on the layout management
with allocating audio/video sources with drag and drop operation of mouse.
