After receiving a press release today that probably only an engineer would understand, I called and had an interesting talk with Vic Caruso, vice-president sales and marketing at the Canadian company VuWall Technology, located in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, who explained the company’s specialization.
It turns out that, rather than having a basic video wall which is then customized according to client needs, as we understand many companies offer, VuWall offers, in its new VuWall2 version 2.5, video walls that are already geared especially for certain markets.
This product line is produced to address the needs of such specific markets as security and mission critical control rooms, boardroom presentations and digital signage. By matching software modules to particular industries, VuWall2 makes choosing the right product easy and ensures optimal results. (They fall under such names VuWall Pro, VuWall Security, VuWall DS, etc.).
Among the many features offered by pre-customized VuWall video walls are:
VuWall Pro offers has a virtually unlimited level of granularity in how user rights can be assigned. In addition, it offers superior integration of ONVIF standards for auto detection of IP cameras.
For VuWall Security, if there are, eg. 300 cameras with information relayed to the videowall – in an airport, for example – they are all connected automatically, rather than having to be connected manually individually.
“They auto-populate,” says Caruso. “And for VuWall, the only thing that has to be scaled is the size of the controller, depending on how many screens or cameras might be involved.`’
For boardrooms, VuWall is flexible and easily manages transitions.
“In essence, the overall architecture of VuWall2 has been optimized for the ambitious development roadmap we have in place for the year to come,” says Paul Vander Plaetse, president of VuWall, founder and owner of the company founded in 2009. (He was formerly with Barco and Matrox.)
VuWall works closely with Matrox and Datapath for hardware. It sells through channels, exhibits at various trade shows, and has a sales office in Grossbettlingen, Germany.
Caruso says that among the company’s many clients are: Southern California Edison, NASA, City of Montreal, and banking clients in Brazil. It also handled the security system at FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
