At InfoComm 2014,RGB Spectrum will show for the first time the Galileo Display Processor, a video wall system designed around a PC-based architecture.

RGB Spectrum is known for its purpose-built video wall solutions. The innovative Galileo processor adds the benefits of PC-based systems such as IP inputs and the ability to run applications natively on the processor, while maintaining the 24/7 level of reliability and real-time performance of RGB Spectrum's solutions.

The system supports a full range of input and output types (IP, analog, DVI/HDMI, 3G/HD-SDI) with resolutions up to 3840x2160 (4K). The Galileo processor can also deliver HDCP protected content to an unlimited number of displays, while other PC systems either do not support HDCP at all or impose severe limitations on wall size.

The videowall market grew nearly 60% CAGR from 2009 to 2013 to reach sales of 449,000 units, according to Futuresource Consulting.

The market has settled into a period of relative stability with super narrow bezel (SNB) display now a firmly established technology and rear projection cubes (RPC) largely retrenching into specialist, high end applications. However, this paradigm is set to be challenged with the introduction of narrow pixel pitch (NPP) LED which Futuresource expects to be a significant disruptive technology in the coming years.

Whilst the Futuresource report paid particular attention to the interplay between adoption of different technologies, each product category has a unique set of features which tends to dictate the end usage model and vertical environment. Read more...

Casio will release a new ultra short-throw projector in July. The mercury-free XJ-UT310WN offers 3100 ANSI lumens, and can also be operated from various smart devices such as tablets and smartphones.

The new XJ-UT310WN is an ultra short-throw projector that can project a large 80-inch image from a distance as near as 27 cms. It is equipped with the latest Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source, which uses a DLP chip to project the three basic colors of red, blue and green. Red is produced with a high-brightness red LED, while blue comes from a blue laser, and green is realized using a fluorescent material that converts blue laser light to green. Read more...
