Video walls aren’t new, but they still have that “Wow!” factor. Combining AV over IP technology with scalability enhances flexibility, allowing clients to discover unique ways to engage potential customers. Video walls in offices, retail, and cafeterias create dynamic, immersive experiences that captivate audiences.

By merging low latency and extended reach with higher display resolutions and weather-resistant tech, you can place video walls where they’ll have the most impact. If clients haven’t asked about the flexibility and extended reach of AV video walls, AV over IP technology is a great discussion topic. When clients install or upgrade video walls, they should also switch from older technologies to AV over IP without delay.

(Almost) Infinite Possibility

Without AV over IP, video walls require costly video and capture cards, offering limited functionality. With AV over IP video walls, you can start with a standard server in your server room.

An Ethernet network is used to provide the video wall’s content. This makes it possible to integrate multiple sources, including video conferencing systems, allowing companies to display live meetings, remote collaborations, and real-time data across large displays in conference rooms or event spaces.

You are not restricted to just one or a few active web pages. AV over IP offers far superior switching capabilities, allowing nearly infinite combinations of input and output sources. A video wall leverages this, generating a continuous stream of images, video, and information that you can contextualize for the specific time and location where it’s displayed.

Creative Configurations

You can also help your customers understand: A video wall is more than just a standard display that has been enlarged. AV consultants play a crucial role in helping businesses design and deploy video walls tailored to their needs. Content is available in an incredible variety of formats and shapes because content providers understand that you and your clients can be as creative as you want with the size, shape, and scale of your video wall installation.

You can place them anywhere. Your video wall can be freestanding or wall-mounted. Place displays either indoors or outdoors. They may be flat, curved, or wrapped around a surface. This technology extends creativity beyond hardware, surpassing the distance limitations of older video wall technologies.

What Can Your Clients Display?

What type of information might your clients want to display on their video walls? They can display statistics, scores, and announcements. Live events use AV systems with video walls to engage audiences and leave a strong impression. For example, the current Broadway production of Network uses over 40 video monitors. Technicians share the stage with actors, enhancing the performance with live video.

Conclusion: Collaboration and Interactivity

With fewer restrictions on video wall placement, increasing clarity and definition, and decreasing latency times, AV over IP video walls will continue to provide that “Wow!” factor to your clients in the foreseeable future. Whether for corporate collaboration, entertainment, or digital signage, their versatility makes them an essential component of modern AV solutions.
