Datapath’s x4 multidisplay has installed a digital signage video wall display at the Bluewater Shopping Centre, in the UK.
Three Datapath units serve a nine-screen video wall with up to 4K HD content at the mall. The wall uses Visionpoint’s NEC X551UN 55-inch narrow bezel LCD panels in and with three Datapath x4 multidisplay controllers, each x4 controls the content across three screens.
Limited Space and AV partner, Visionpoint Technologies Limited sought to replace an existing projector-based advertising systems in the shopping centre with video wall technology, according to the announcement.
Alan Hopkins, Visionpoint director comments, ‘The project of creating a 165-inch video wall was extremely challenging in such a tight and confined space. However, utilizing a bespoke rig we ensured the whole structure could be moved on wheels and placed directly against a specially installed front glass window. One of the problems we encountered was a slightly uneven floor, but using the Datapath x4 allowed us to pixel align the screens negating this issue.’
