What is a Video Processor?

How Does a Processor Work?

Based on how it is configured through video wall management software, like Haivision Command 360, a video controller routes the desired information to multiple display panels in order to create a single view. In addition, the controller scales and processes the content, allowing users to manipulate its appearance in real-time on either sections of the wall or across the entire display canvas.

What are the Benefits of a Video Processor?

While features can vary, there are some standard benefits of a processor that complement a video wall solution:

• Wide array of visualization opportunities – display content from any signal format – digital or analog, physical or IP, and from any device.
• Multi-video wall control – provides control over different video walls as a single system or managed separately.
• Network and video streaming – instantly encode and stream a content source, or even your entire wall, to specific users and display systems across a secure network. Capture and display streamed content from any IP video source on your network.
• Built-in device control and automation – control external devices, like audio systems, VTC, and media players, from the same interface used to control your display panel.
• Reliable – 24/7 mission-critical dependability.

How do I choose the right processor?

Video processors range in size and capability to display large amounts of high-resolution content. However, your organization’s use case and environment play an integral role in the best type of controller to suit your needs. You’ll want to consider things like:

• Visualization needs – Are operations going to be held in a large, medium, or small command center or control room?
• Portability – Do you require hardware that packs up and moves to the next location at a moment’s notice?
• Weather and terrain – Will we remain operational in extreme conditions? Can the hardware withstand shock or vibration if a natural disaster occurs?
