Challenge
macomLAB is a media technology innovation lab designed for experimenting, experiencing and evolving state-of-the-art presentation, communication, interaction and collaboration systems. Their 160 m² space is used for simulating and testing fully adaptable workspaces, meeting areas and modern collaboration environments. They were seeking a way to reduce the complexity of operating collaboration rooms and projection rooms that are running multiple tools at once that include proprietary appliances such as Hoylu, Oblong or Deon, and running on Windows machines, along with a workstation with multiple monitors and multiple applications. The goal was to simplify the “content flow” ranging from BYOD to analog sources such as overhead cameras, and provide users with a simple and easy user experience.
Solution
macomLAB selected the VuWall VuScape video wall processor, equipped with two NVIDIA Quadro cards, for managing content from a variety of sources to multiple displays with pristine video quality and utmost flexibility. The VuScape processor is driving five displays: one large 6 m² Samsung LED Wall (QHD 2560 x 1440), three interactive projection displays of 100″ each with multi-pen input, and one 27” full HD (1920 x 1080) display used as a preview/operator screen. VuScape brings all the various applications onto the desired displays, despite the resolutions and aspect ratios, with just one simple tap on a media control touch panel.
Results
In a super complex and constantly changing environment like the macomLAB, an interoperable solution was a must. Today, VuWall’s VuScape is fully integrated with Crestron AV-over-IP, Crestron Media Control, Samsung LED wall, Nureva projectors, Hoylu multi-pen input, Barco, Wolfvision wireless presentation, and more. MacomLAB employees and their visitors experience the power of VuScape through its intuitive UI for every presentation, simulations, interactive collaboration session, video conferencing, and even web browsing.
“With VuWall, we are able to provide our employees easy access to the tools they need, whenever they need them, with a single easy-to-use interface, so they can focus on their work and not worry about the technology. There is no other video wall management solution out there that can offer this much flexibility and efficiency.”
