AmbiBright

Automatically adjusts the backlight depending on the brightness of ambient lighting conditions. Also allows the monitor to be set to automatically enter a power-saving mode when the ambient lighting falls below a predetermined value (i.e.when office lights are shut off at the end of the day), which can significantly reduce energy expenses.

Rapid Response

Provides for uninterrupted display of full motion video with response times as quick as 4ms. It delivers streaming video without noticeable ghosting or blurring, while achieving as many as 250 frames per second (fps). This remarkably quick motion makes displays better than ever for gaming and video applications such as presentations and streaming web video.

The iVu4-Hpro video wall / Multi-Screen controller helps in combining 4 (1×4) LCD displays to produce one large video wall. The iVu4-Hpro receives and displays the images or video content on any size LCD monitor with a selectable display mode and supports a maximum resolution of up to 4096 x 768 input video wall controller, 1 Dual-link DVI input, 4 Single-link DVI-D output (1 x 4) 1024×768 per display. The iVu4-Hpro is compatible with any brand of LCD monitor and suitable for large display applications in large advertising, medical imaging, simulation inc. flight, radar, gaming etc.., shopping centres, public gathering locations, fairs and exhibitions, sporting or music events.

To buy a large display for advertisement, for example 64 or 84 inches LCD, is too high to afford. A video wall is a group of smaller displays tiled together in a matrix to create one large display. EMS provides the controller box that drives the display over multi-screens. All the video wall controllers support different configurations of the video output signals. The videowall control (OSD) buttons are located on the front panel of the video wall controller for easy access, while all the video and power cables are connected to the rear panel for convenient cabling. The video controllers can be connected to LCD or DLP panels, video wall cubes, projectors or any monitor that accepts a DVI input signal.

• Clone mode (1×1): The iVu4-Hpro unit displays the same content on the four screens
• Full mode (1×4): The iVu4-Hpro unit divides the input image into four sections and places each 1/4 image per screen to fit to the selected resolution on each monitor. The full display also support mask enable and disable.
• Up to 4096×768 Dual-Link DVI input and up to 4 * 1024×768 outputs per display
• On Screen Display/Remote control functions for selecting; Display mode; Output resolution; Border mask enable/disable and frame wideness adjustment.
• Bezel mask or screen border adjustment, this is quite an important function, normally the display will be ’staggered” from screen to screen due to the use of conventional LCD/Plasma displays, but with this function you can adjust the display to be seamless, e.g mask-out the screen bezel enabling a visually seamless display.
• 
• RS-232 communication for remote control (if required)
• Easy-DIY to install and control the videowall or multi-screens, either from a PC, Laptop, Remote control or Front Panel.
• Multiple units can be used for larger screen configurations, e.g. by installing a dual channel graphics card into a PC then two iVu4-Hpros can be connected to enable a 1×8 video wall / multi-screen display or one iVu4-Hpro can be cascaded to four further units to enable a 1×16 videowall / multiscreens. All iVu controllers can be “mixed & Matched” to enable various display configurations.
• Optional Live DVI/VGA video insertion, the XtremeRGB (optional purchase) can be installed within the PC that controls the iVu4Hpro, this will enable not only a videowall/multi-screen display with all of Windows applications, but also live video from other sources that provide DVI or VGA outputs, such as Servers, Workstations, Hdmi players, DVI cameras etc..

Display Modes Selection:

Full mode 1×3		Full Mode 1×4	Veritcal Mode
- Full mode (1×3):		- Full mode (1×4):
The iVu4-Hpro displays the content on three screens only.** Portrait Mode is also supported, e.g. Screens can be rotated by 90 degrees.		The iVu4-Hpro divides the input image into four sections and stretch the 1/4 image to fit to the selected resolution each monitor. The full display also support mask enable and disable.

Now more than ever it is easier to meet face to face without going place to place.

With multiple display technology finding itself more and more in the board room, businesses large and small are incorporating web and video into conferencing and think tanks.

“Blending two powerful collaboration solutions into one environment” is the name of the game for Cisco TelePresence WebEx application. Cisco TelePresence systems deliver lifelike, high definition images and spatially discrete audio for immersed experiences using advanced visual, audio, with collaboration technologies. WebEx has been a popular application for webinars, corporate meetings, and many online environments in real-time.

“We developed a cost-to-benefit analysis when we first deployed WebEx that showed we were saving $3,500 in cost per trained employee per year—that comes to over 12 million dollars a year we saved.”

Sandra Morris Vice President, Learning & Employee Development GMAC

Video conferencing in general is growing evermore popular even in the consumer market. With services such as Skype, offering a free online software that offers free video calls to other Skype numbers as well as discounted international calls and call forwarding for a small fee, more and more people are connecting with video using simple web cams built into the computer monitor.

For best results using video conferencing use a Dual Monitor setup or better. This way you can continue to make use of at least one of your computers monitor. Multi-tasking on single computer monitors can be daunting and stressful, however with multiple large displays like that pictured above, meeting together with your team from afar is simple and easier than ever before.

With the release of the FUSION Pull-Out Mounts setting up a video wall has never been easier and convenient.

The LSMVU and MSMVU mounts from Chief Manufacturing, the industry leader in projector, monitor and flat panel TV mounting solutions, offer easy installation and maintenance for video wall configurations, saving you time and money.

Pull-Out mounts are ideal for video walls, digital signage, and single-screen recessed applications. The new FUSION Series Pull-Out mounts were conceived from installer feedback, and extend 7 inches (178 mm) for easy cable access and servicing in hard to reach installations. Even the center most screen of a video wall matrix can be easier and safer to access.

Screens are perfectly vertical, even if the wall is not, thanks to the added ability to finely-tune the plumb adjustment. Comprehensive mounting solutions that include a variety of features to make installation and maintenance of digital signage systems a breeze.

Provide post-installation fine-tuning of height and leveling for perfect alignment with ControlZone™ Leveling.  Screens slide together with Centerless™ post-installation lateral shift to speed up installation, and you can slide them apart again to simplify routine maintenance.

With Chief’s exclusive feature ClickConnect™ you get an audible click when the screens safely engage with the mount so you know the installation is secure. Plus you can even add a padlock for even more security.

Save time and money on digital signage projects incorporating multiple displays. Create 2×2 digital displays or larger with multi screen displays. FUSION mounts display capacity ranges from 26-63 inches. Do the math and that could bring forth an impressive display very quick , and typically being put on a high plane, makes the new FUSION Pull-Out Mounts a safe and practical solution for digital media.
