• Minimum Hardware Configuration for Video Walls

• Recommended Configuration for Video Walls

The decision about which hardware to use when setting up a video wall depends a great deal on how the video wall can be used. In the most basic sense, any multi-display setup can be used. However, when in need of a an increased number of displays, clip playback capabilities, live streams, or complex graphics, the demands on the hardware increases significantly. A video board is required for clip playback and input capabilities.

Utilizing the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 or P6000 graphics cards and the Matrix X.mio3 video board, Viz Engine support video wall configurations with up to 16k by 16k output resolution, and up to eight SDI inputs. Depending on the selected configuration, Viz Engine currently supports the following inputs and outputs for video walls:

• Four to eight SDI inputs, with resolutions ranging from SD to 4K, with a maximum of eight 1080i or one 4K concurrent input.

• Four to 16 DisplayPort or DVI outputs, with up to 4K resolution per output.

  Note: More GPUs require more bandwidth and therefore decrease the performance. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use only one physical GPU and split the outputs (4*4K on M6000/ 4*5K on P6000) with additional hardware like a Datapath Device.
