Signage Super-Size

Signage Goes Super-Size with Video Walls

By Jim Renehan, Director of Marketing, Trenton Technology

We are a graphics-oriented species. The bolder and more compelling the colors, images and animations the better attention we will devote to the message a video display wall is trying to communicate. As video display walls continue to evolve, they will require an increasing sophistication of the computer processing technology behind the wall. The good news is that an array of multi-core processor solutions from Intel® is available to meet the expanding technology demands of video display walls.

Most of us think of a 52” LCD as a large screen, but in the world of video walls it is nothing but a building block for a much larger display. As the name implies, video walls stitch together multiple LCDs to create wall-size displays with diagonal measurements that can easily exceed 200”. These massive installations are used for super-size digital signage as well as large-scale displays in command centers, financial trading floors, conference rooms, and other applications.

The computational demands of video walls are as big as the displays themselves. In addition to involving a huge number of pixels, video walls often combine multiple video and graphics sources, and each piece of content may be scaled across multiple LCDs. To keep up with these extraordinary demands, video walls require high-performance processors like the Intel® Core™ i7 processor and the Intel® Xeon® processor.
