If you are looking for the least expensive and easiest way to setup an electronic billboard, medical imagery review station or satellite imagery review, the iVu9s is the answer.  The iVu9s is a super high resolution video controller that has the capability to run up to 9 screens.  It can manage up to 8 megapixels and has up to 1920 x1200 image scaling function.    This makes it perfect for those who need high resolution graphics cast across multiple screens.

Some of the most popular uses include medical image review, and government satellite image.  Those interested in billboard displays have also found that the iVu9s is a great tool for their trade as well.  As mentioned before, the iVu9s can support up to 9 screens at once, but what really makes this controller special is that it can handle really high quality graphics across all 9 of those screens.  At a resolution of up to 1920×1200, the iVu9s is one of the best in its class.

Convenient cabling is a breeze with iVu9s because of the all of the inputs being located in the rear, but it also has a great OSD keypad on the front.  This enables the user of the iVu9s to conveniently be able to control the easy to use interface.  Like other video controllers, the iVu9s is capable of driving both LCD and DLP screens.  However, unlike many of its competitors, it is also able to drive video wall cubes and projectors as well.  This means it has the flexibility to run a number of different applications- making it the perfect 9 screen controller.

Many of the iVu9s users have said that the fact that you can hook up in a variety of configurations is extremely helpful.  For example, the iVu9s can operate in 3 x 3, 2×3 and 3×2 mode.  This gives you the flexibility to setup your video wall in the best way you see fit.  And with the controller access pad, it’s super easy to configure and to use.  As a side note, for those interested in using the iVu9s in clone mode (also referred to as 1×1), it is capable of this as well.

Another cool feature of the iVu9s is the bezel mask, sometimes referred to as screen border adjustment.  This function is important because it will help you avoid items not lining up correctly.  This is especially important for high resolution imagery, such as in the medical field or large satellite displays.    The staggered look is typical on LCD and plasma displays.

In addition, the iVu9s has RS-232 communication- this means that the controller can be controlled remotely via your laptop or desktop computer.  This includes the ability to control additional and multiple units for larger screen configurations.  You can achieve this by using dual channel graphics cards in one computer and then connecting multiple iVu9’s.  It should go without saying, but you can mix and match all iVu9 units.  This gives you the ability to have up to 16×16 video wall/multi-screens.

So how much does the IVu9s cost?  The suggested retail price is $3299, however, the some retailers, such as Multi-Monitors.com have this item listed for just under $2700.  If you’re looking for the most economical way to hook up a 9 screen video, the iVu9s is a good choice. It’s a solid controller with a good history of use.  The fact that it is expandable to up to 16×16 with multi-card support makes it a top choice for advertisers, medical industry personnel and military alike.

Connect Multiple Graphics Cards

So, what’s the secret to connect multiple graphics cards to one computer?  Well the answer is not as complicated as you may think.  Many people find themselves trying to connect multiple graphics cards to a one computer because they want to be able to have multiple screens.  Multiple monitor computers have increased in popularity over the past few years because people have started discovering that using a two or more monitors is a huge advantage when you are trying to multi-task.  The advantage is because you are better able to see the programs that you are working with, you can determine what work better. People have started gravitating toward 4 monitor computers, 6 monitor computers, 8 monitor computers, and in some cases even 12 monitor computers (or even more!)  Because of this, they need to know how to install and connect multiple graphics cards.

There was a guy I knew from high school that became an expert in computers.  He talks to people about how they can use the same motherboard,

RAM and graphics card, along with connecting multiple graphics cards to their computer to connect multiple graphics cards.  They’ve been very pleased with their results because they have discovered that they were successfully able to increase the amount of work that they are able to do, while decreasing inefficiency in their workspace.

If you’ve been considering connecting multiple graphics cards to your computer, then you should know that doing so isn’t hard at all.  All you need a motherboard with multiple available slots and to check and make sure you computer can handle the additional strain caused by the extra graphics cards.  If you do this, then you should be able to connect multiple graphics cards without any real problem.  You will be glad you’ve know how to connect multiple graphics cards when you start using your multiple monitor computer.

6 Monitor Computer

I walked into the office of a prominent day trader in my area last week and I was surprised and very impressed by the presence of a 6 monitor computer.  The man (whom shall remain anonymous at his request) uses powerful trading computers to help grow his business.  He said that the ability to monitor multiple charts while being able to make trades extremely quickly were a couple of the key reasons for his success.  He uses a 6 monitor computer so that he can more easily multi-task.  While this may not make sense to everyone, he explained that because he’s better able to see what’s going on in the market place he can make more effective decisions.  The result has been a huge increase in his effective business.

Are You Trying to Setup a Wall Display?

If you’ve been considering setting up a wall display then you aren’t alone.  In fact, as a method of both knowledge and advertising, it’s become quite popular.  There are several ways to do this- one of them is by using a wall display controller, powered by VigiControl  Video/Data Wall Controller Software.    This powerful software makes connecting multiple monitors easy and controlling them through a LAN which is connected to a VigiControl Client a piece of cake.

There are some features of VigiControl Video and Data Wall Controller Software which include being able to control stand Windows application programs, such as layout and positioning- this is particularly important when you are working with large displays.  Another feature I like being able to control video capture, along with XtremeRGB windows properties.

The screen ordering utility makes getting your images in order extremely easy, and combined with VigiControl’s powerful Bezel Masking, it really makes a difference on alignment.  Of course since, VigiControl displays the desktop of the Video Wall Server being controlled organizing your computer application windows is a piece of cake.  Add that you can do this remotely and it means that you can send your display to a trade show and control the action from your office.  Trust me, this is a huge advantage over the typical setup.  If you install the video access software on other computers on your network, they will also have access to your video access control server.

VigiControl can also help you avoid video gaps which may make images look strange.  The idea behind reducing these gaps is spreading the image across the breaks so that the gaps are reduced and the image is preserved.

This software also helps with the function that allows you to split GGB and DVI captured windows so that you can crop and separately scale each window.   The cropping can then be done for subbed windows individually.  You can do this with up to 16 sub windows.  One area where this is commonly used in the security industry because it allows multiple views organized the way you need to organize them.

Cost of VigiControl Video and Data Wall Controller Software is pretty reasonable, considering its complete capabilities.   Retail you will pay over $1,299, but if you buy from Multi-Monitors.com you can purchase it for just under $1100 (a $200 savings.)

The Best Options for Digital Signage

If you want to make an impact with your digital display, then it’s going to take the right setup. While they vary pretty greatly in style and price, each setup does have its own advantage to take into consideration.   In this article we’re going to discuss the difference between screen setups and controllers and a little bit about how you can benefit from know the difference.

When it comes to large technology purchases, brand is important.  NEC is the hands down leader in digital signage technology. With their 82 inch large screen wall monitor, you can very literally see why!  This giant display is for corporate display and digital signage.  It brags high brightness to help overcome ambient lighting obstacles that might distract from the intended oject.  The contrast is quite remarkable at 2000:1 and using NEC’s TileMatrix technology allows for a video wall that can contain a stunning 27 foot display.    Along with TileMatrix is TileComp which aids in bezel and alignment- giving a seamless look and feel to your images.    To find this display you must go through an authorize NEC dealer such as Multi-monitors.com.  The cost on this monster comes in just under $50,000.

For those looking to spend less, a good solution might be the NEC 55” TIleMatrix video wall.  This wall offers an incredible easy to use, yet cost effective solution.  Because it uses TileMatrix technology, you can have 10×10 displays.  The copy function allows you to apply settings from one display to the others.  This is perfect for easy setup and use and can be a big advantage if you’re trying to setup in a hurry.   Another nice advantage to using NEC wall display products is the inclusion of the Tripp Lite IsoBar6 surge suppressor which includes a $50,000 insurance policy for the lifetime of the product.  If you are considering using the NEC 55” the cost is significantly less than some NEC products.  It rings in at $19,999 on Multi-Monitors.com.

One of my favorite displays from NEC is the MultiSync P461 which is a 2x2x46” display.  There are a couple of features on this wall display that, in my opinion stand out.  First off, it’s an NEC which means quality.  As mentioned above they leaders in the field.  But I absolutely love that it’s a 2x2x46” display.  As far as ease of use goes, I think this model takes the cake.  Another pro for the NEC multisync is its tile matrix compatibility, which again makes it easy to use in a 10×10 display setup.  It also comes with the Digital Factory PerfectAlign mounting system.    Price wise, this on the lower end for NEC at only $12,995 from Multi-Monitors.com.

Setting up a multiple monitor wall display for advertising isn’t difficult, and with the right products you can do so quite easily.  NEC makes the most reliable products and continues to lead the way in this market and one the best places to buy NEC wall monitor products is Multi-Monitors.com.
