Videowall becomes the indispensable display system of control rooms

The solution exposed in IMagine event 2014 highlighted how display systems have been imposed at airports. In the terminals, large format screens are key to informing and launching promotional campaigns; in control rooms, videowall have become indispensable.

Airports are public spaces where there is a large influx of public and the ideal environment to apply digital signage technology. In IMagine event 2014, meeting organized by Ingram Micro that the 7 and 8 May in Madrid, the great potential of these solutions in this sector has been highlighted and with this objective the scenario of a passenger terminal was recreated. likewise, it could also be seen how videowall have become a key tool of control rooms, an area that was starred by the Hiperwall software of NEC Display Solutions.

In the control rooms, visual systems are key elements and as Carlos Rojo comments , av channel sales manager from NEC Display Solutions , "videowalls are its core, since they are centers where you have to control a large number of signals and these supports allow you to see, from a bird's eye view, everything that is happening. In these environments, these systems are closely linked to everything that involves the data processing and what is related to security systems. I believe that the videowall market offers great potential. Customers do not repair old equipment but replace it with cheaper technologies. LCD display technology and LED projection system are the main trends".

The team that was exhibited in IMagine event was formed by four MultiSync X463UN screens of 46 inches supported with Vogel's. A TFT model with S-PVA and direct white LED backlight offering a resolution of 1920×1080 with a contrast ratio of 3500:1, a brightness of 700 cd/m2 and an aspect ratio of 16:9. And to facilitate its control, a NEC E232WMT multi-touch system was used., a desktop monitor of 23 inches designed with IPS panel technology and offering ten control points. It also integrates a Full HD camera and speakers. For ease of viewing, it has a rotary adjustment and tilt height.

After this videowall, the NEC Hiperwall software was found, a solution that allows you to manage the contents of this type of support, managing the sources from which data and images come that are displayed on the video wall. In this way, visual access to the information being monitored is improved.

Passenger terminal

To recreate the scenario that simulated the hall of an airport, Imagine event had different displays of Toshiba large format (Stretch P32LC12, TD-Z421, 47L7453, TD-Z551), used to provide flight status information, as well as to launch advertising campaigns or other informative content. Contents that were managed and displayed thanks to the solutions of Beablo.

In order to help terminal employees identify luggage and tickets, the solutions they offer were installed. Intermec and Datalogic.

From Intermec you could see the fixed RFID if tag reader 2 designed for network environments and the PM23 luggage tag printer. For its part, Datalogic exposed the data capture terminal with Lynx barcode reader.
