High-End Video Wall Controller

Product Overview

The Angustos High-End Video Wall Controller, specifically the ACVW4 Series, offers advanced video processing capabilities powered by a dedicated Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chipset. This design eliminates the limitations of traditional CPU or GPU-based systems, providing a robust and reliable solution for complex video wall setups.

The controller boasts a hardware-based design, negating the need for high-end computer specifications, expensive GPUs, or software licenses. It ensures stability by avoiding common issues like OS crashes, viruses, black screens, and ransomware.

Key Advantages:

• High performance video processing with hardware architecture.
• Eliminates need for high-end computer specifications and GPU cards.
• No software licenses required.
• Enhanced stability: No OS crashes, viruses, or black screens.
• Protection against ransomware and data loss.
• Supports up to 92 input x 72 output or 88 input x 60 output configurations.

FPGA Dedicated Chipset

The use of an FPGA chipset provides a dedicated processing unit for video, overcoming the constraints of conventional software or PC controllers. This allows for seamless operation when adding or modifying video wall layouts. As each FPGA chip operates independently, users can replace or add input/output cards without shutting down the entire chassis.

Module Design with Hot Swap

The modular design offers flexibility, allowing clients to customize their systems with various connection types. The controller supports a combination of HDMI, DVI, VGA, HDBaseT, and IP Streaming, maximizing system integration. This approach reduces both initial and ongoing investment costs. The chassis also supports controlling multiple video walls, simplifying complex connections and management.

Features

• High-end 4 Layers MPiP™ – Cross Screen: Supports up to 4 layers of Matrix Picture-in-Picture (MPiP™) within each screen.
• Easy control with Drag & Drop: Customize complex layouts with simple click-and-drag operations.
• High-end Video Wall Control: Supports Overlap, Roaming, Stretching, and Zoom in/out functionalities.
• Front Panel Touch Screen: Allows control of scene modes, saving/recalling profiles, and IP settings directly from the unit.
• IP Camera Direct Stream (iDirect Stream™): The IP input card supports streaming video feeds directly from IP CCTV cameras.
• Background Image - Scrolling Text - Scheduling: Supports static background images and scrolling text for applications like bank or stock house video walls. It also enables scene mode scheduling and cyclical playback for advertising and digital signage.
