The onSafe Video wall is a software application to manage the operation of a dedicated PC based hardware that controls a set of locally attached display monitors used for video display.

The system can concurrently display a large number of multiple video streams on monitors with features typically found in expensive video wall controllers. The standard hardware supports the display of up to 60 video streams (depending on the video streams resolution) usually on two or four monitors.

The onSafe Video wall application consists on a server application managing the video decoding and display and a client application for video display layout definition. It works usually with the DVVMS and it provides a SOAP interface to third party applications.

• Personalized layouts on “N” monitors are defined by the user. Multiple cells, not constrained to the physical boundaries of the monitor, can be defined on each layout, and every cell can hold several layers, with transparency between layers. A cell layer acts as a logical video decoder to which video can be sent for display.

• Switching of video from sources to cells in the video wall is performed from the Central Station Plus client, with or without DVVMS intervention, from the IPGate-DVVM network joystick and from external applications.

• Client for layout definition. Separate client software allows users to position virtual layouts over physical monitor’s surface, create templates over layouts, assign software decoders to video windows, etc. in order to set up the video display configuration.
