Myth:

The most important components for a video wall are the display screens.

Myth Buster:

While the display screens may be the most visually impressive piece of a video wall—and a significant portion of your control room enhancement budget—they are merely the endpoint for what truly matters in a control room: your critical information and content.

Without flexible connectivity and information, a video wall is just for show.

Without flexible, up-to-date information, a video wall is just a static display

If the information is limited, outdated, or inflexible, the video wall adds little value. In that case, what good are the screens if they provide nothing to aid or enhance response? Such a situation leaves critical operations poorly informed and focused on technical challenges, scrounging for information, rather than taking fully-informed, confident action.

Timely, insightful information is the fuel that makes any video display useful.

With a modular approach to video wall management, operations can dynamically adapt to changing needs without being tied to specific hardware configurations.

Whether it’s one LCD in a conference room, a multi-screen wall, or several walls in different places, visability software from Activu empowers critical operations and command centers with: 

  • Real-time, seamless situational awareness…
  • Streamed from any device on the network…
  • Without loads of extra devices and black boxes.

Visability is powerful, user-friendly software, that dynamically manages critical content on video walls, conference room screens, desktops, remote, and mobile devices. Its drag-and-drop tools make video wall changes fast and flexible for anyone in the control room. The modular design ensures it’s equally versatile for users to make and share their own virtual video walls, inside and outside the command center.

All this is possible with visability, and often with the video displays already in place. Users can upgrade their video wall displays when the time is right, while gaining all the advantages of visability now.
