VuWall PAK Videowall nodes Architecture:

The video wall control system shall use a distributed architecture of networked PAK 40-3s configured and controlled through a central server.

Each source displayed on the video wall should be decoded at the PAK 40-3 level and the composited assembly of the video wall content should not be generated on a central server, to avoid having a single point of failure.

The same hardware appliance can work as a standalone unit or mul�ple units can be s�tched to each other to form a single logical display surface for mul�-screen KVM operator sta�ons or IP video walls of any size.

Generic Features:

The sources can be displayed anywhere at any size on the video wall and can overlap across mul�ple PAK 40-3s. Mul�ple sources can be decoded simultaneously in all or par�ally on a single PAK 40-3.

The video wall should be able to display mul�ple source formats, including H.264, H.265, VNC, RealVNC, proprietary streams of an IP KVM Encoder such as VuStream 350, as well as any computer applica�on or web browser coming from a networked applica�on server.

Sources can be cropped, scaled, and resized anywhere on the video wall. The windows where the sources are shown can also have a solid color border and can also display overlay text on top of the source content.

KVM Features for future growth:

The PAK 40-3 visualiza�on nodes shall allow a keyboard and mouse to be connected directly to them using 2 x USB ports.

When configured as a KVM operator sta�on, the visualiza�on PAK 40-3 shall have a built-in intui�ve on-screen display which allows for easy personal video wall layout changes, all with simple selec�on.

When configured as a KVM operator sta�on, the PAK 40-3 shall be Password-protected and require user login. User access to video, keyboard & mouse are all configurable.

When configured as a KVM operator sta�on, the visualiza�on PAK 40-3 shall offer keyboard shortcuts for fast switching through layouts.

The keyboard & mouse that is connected to a specific visualiza�on PAK 40-3 shall be able to take control of sources that are displayed by other PAK 40-3s.

The PAK 40-3 shall support Point-to-Point, Mul�point, Mul�-Source Control and Mul�view KVM modes.

The PAK40-3 nodes shall be capable for synchronized render of mul�cast video streams across nodes connected on the network

The KVM operator sta�on shall allow for sources from remote PCs to be controlled with keyboard and mouse via IP KVM encoders such as VuStream 350, Adder ipeps+, VNC, RealVNC as well as any computer applica�on or web browser coming from a networked applica�on server. Those sources can then be displayed alongside IP streams from encoders, cameras, or TV channels.

Replacing a defec�ve PAK 40-3 should not interrupt opera�ons of the rest of the video wall, and the replacement PAK 40-3 should be opera�onal within 5 minutes.

The configura�on of the video wall and arrangement of PAK 40-3s should be performed through an easy to use drag and drop web interface.
