Planar MultiCrop X User manual
Planar's Indisys Extensity Video Wall Processor is designed for the capture, management and display of high
resolution sources on a video wall. It is built on a simplied and modular graphics processing approach that utilizes
today's most advanced 4K-capable electronics. This allows the easy conguration of a system to meet specic wall
requirements and support a wide range of inputs. Indisys Extensity scales from small, simple walls to large, complex
walls of over 100 displays. It has the capability to share information across multiple walls and the full enterprise.
Indisys Extensity is the latest generation of the eld-proven architecture deployed in hundreds of mission-critical
control rooms around the globe. Indisys Extensity is designed to integrate tightly with Planar's Clarity Matrix LCD Video
Wall System and Clarity LED Series rear projection display walls. The elegant approach allows for high system resiliency
and exibility in building your wall control system. It is designed for 24/7 operation, keeping video wall downtime to
a minimum.
Advanced, Adaptable Video Wall Processor
Indisys Extensity
VIDEO WALL PROCESSOR
Powerful, leading edge image processing
With its purpose-built design and powerful internal processor, Indisys Extensity hardware is designed
for 24/7 operation and exceptional visual performance, keeping video wall downtime to a minimum.
Superior hardware, superior control
Extensity processors take the contents of the inputs and place them on the wall using an array of windowing capabilities such as:
upscale, downscale, crop, frame-rate adjust, Picture-In-Picture, wall snapshot, image alignment, full image placement exibility, and
more. With Planar rear-projection displays, the processor is embedded in the display.
With larger input requirements, input expansion processors are added to the system. The input expansion processors handle all
types of sources – up-to 4K digital sources, analog video, computers, media players, applications, IP video, web inputs – in a unied
way. Each of these sources can be captured and displayed simultaneously on a video wall. Additional input expansion processors
are eciently added to match requirements for more input sources or sections of the wall.
Indisys Extensity processors are 1U, rack mount modular units. The modular processing system is managed over a private
Ethernet network giving supervisory exibility in setting and changing image layouts. Dierent walls can be mixed into one system.
Remote displays or smaller walls can be added to the system. The rack-mounted processors work eectively with rack-located
sources in the command room.
Note: All Extensity inputs are HDCP compliant

Flexible Setup, Control, and Monitoring Software
Indisys Management Suite (IMS) software provides a visual environment to
control the system set up and the entire wall layout. Sources can be placed
throughout the wall from display-by-display, section-by-section, or layered
picture-in-picture. Presets allow users to quickly change dierent layouts as
needed. IMS also allows the monitoring of the health of the overall visual
experience system. Through a graphical interface, system components can
be monitored, so that performance and up-time are optimized.
Visual Information where it's needed
Through its intuitive graphical interface, Indisys Director allows for the
precise placement of any visual source on a video wall or other display.
Window layouts can be created, saved and recalled either using Indisys Director directly or through any touch panel room
controller. Operators can easily customize views of individual sources by zooming, cropping or sizing them to display just the
right information for the situation, and then saving these views for future recall or as part of predened layouts. Sources can even
be previewed as thumbnails on the Control PC before being displayed on the video wall.

The Indisys Desktop Service (IDS) capability provides network-based collaboration for the Indisys control room. IDS allows
authorized PC users to more freely and directly share visual information with one another, improving collaborative decision
making. Through its software KVM, desktop control can be delegated and via network capture, casual participants can share visual
information – all over the network, either locally or remotely. Secured by a robust but intuitive authorization model, IDS facilitates
collaboration between authenticated users.
