ViewSonic Makes Video Walls Affordable At InfoComm 2010

ViewSonic brings cost-effective, MultiView video wall solution to market

Las Vegas, ViewSonic® Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, today at InfoComm 2010 announced its new MultiView video wall software solution. In addition to displaying large screen high definition video across multiple displays, users can now display individual HD content on up to nine displays using a single video source for a cost-effective, dynamic digital signage solution.

“ViewSonic is dedicated to serving as a one-stop solution provider for resellers’ digital signage needs,” said Michael Holstein, vice president of business development for ViewSonic. “Our MultiView digital signage wall came out of an overwhelmingly positive response that ViewSonic saw to a prototype demonstrated at this year’s Digital Signage Expo. Typical video wall set-ups can run companies tens of thousands of dollars, but by eliminating video splitters and the need to connect monitors to multiple sources, ViewSonic is able to offer this highly cost-effective solution.”

With MultiView’s sophisticated yet user-friendly interface, users can create professional video presentations and dynamic screen layouts rapidly. Simply drag-and-drop from various media elements including .txt, jpeg images, video, PowerPoint, RSS feeds and HTML web pages.

ViewSonic’s new MultiView video wall software bundle offers companies several individual display sizes to choose from to ensure the best wall for their needs. ViewSonic’s models featuring the internal video wall capability include the 52” CD5230, 42” CD4230, CD4232 (Full HD) and 42” CD4230T touch compatible commercial displays. Each display features an elegant slim bezel, commercial metal housing, VESA mounting, and a 3-year limited warranty. Also featured in the bundle is a Premier Mounts pedestal mounting solution which makes connecting individual displays a breeze.

ViewSonic’s MultiView video wall software, powered by friendlyway, offers multi-dimensional configurations via a single video source. Any standard PC with a high-performance graphics card and Windows® 7 can be used to design, develop, and control the video wall. Whether it’s a 1-dimentional, 1x5 video wall such as a quick service restaurant menu board, or 2-dimentional video wall with up to 5x5 displays, ViewSonic can recommend the appropriate PC configuration to match your needs. The result is a complete, feature rich and easy to use video wall solution at a fraction of the cost compared to other current solutions on the market.

A typical MultiView solution consists of ViewSonic’s large-screen LCD commercial displays, a mounting kit from Premier Mounts, ViewSonic’s MultiView video wall software to configure and manage the video wall and a recommended PC solution. ViewSonic’s MultiView video wall software will begin shipping in late summer, starting at an MSRP of $5,999.
