2. 5X OVERVIEW
HD digital video wall processor is the newest version of image controller; it displays the
various analog/digital images, video source on the output device: LCD wall, surveillance
system or others. The video wall processor adopts brand new modular concept that the
input cards and output cards can be used in any combination, in any order and in any
slots on the backplane; moreover, display devices can be controlled and connected via
transmitting signal with multiple video wall processors used in seamless conjunction.

CAN is short for Controller Area Network, it is a serial communication network effectively
supporting both the distributed control and real-time control. Thanks to flexible and
convenient means of communication and brand new data coding, non- destructive bus
arbitration technology as well as the advanced short-frame structure, the data
transmission time becomes shorter. And powerful troubleshooting capabilities and
communication media diversification, as well as the combination of flexibility are
comprehensively applied in the products. In conjunction with multiple devices, the
response speed through the CAN control should be faster.

system caused by low data bus bandwidth for the multi-screen processor the displays, so
that multi-screen processor has an unparalleled display of speed.
Multi-screen processor adopts high-speed data transmission technology based on the full
cross-scheduling framework, the underlying data transfer is controlled by our original
data scheduling chip technology, enabling to set dedicated point-to-point data channels
for each input, DVI, HDMI, RGB, video signals, network image has its own of channel
transmission to ensure to display in real time at the speed of up to 60 frames / sec, all
input channels may smoothly play HD motional image without any limitation.
If multi-users are connected at the same time, only one user is able to connect in this
case. Moreover, it support multiple Ethernet connections, means that through our own
brand control software applied in network, multiple display ends can show the same
control interface at the same time in the high-resolution desktop, the display window size
can be arbitrarily adjusted.
