Processor, Matrix or Video Player: Which is the right option for my Videowall?

Before making a decision, it is very important to know what you will display on your video wall and where the signals will be sent from.
Here we explain the difference between a video processor, video matrix and video player for Videowall .

What is the function of a Video Wall Video Processor?

A Video Processor is responsible for taking one or more sources and making them coexist on one or more screens (outputs). Video Processors are scalable equipment by adding different input/output video cards, this allows us to implement custom solutions. Generally, these Processors are based on a Windows environment which makes them compatible with the different Solutions to be implemented. These devices have management and control software that allows any authorized user to have control of the scenarios, sources, video wall , etc.

Video processors are ideal where a robust solution is required to dynamically deploy video signals across the entire video wall, unlike matrix processors that distribute them one by one. They can be used in projects ranging from a simple video wall arrangement to a complex system that achieves collaboration between monitoring centers and crisis rooms .

A player is a device that is responsible for sending content to a screen. Sometimes, what we want is to have the same content that is continuously playing with information that can range from advertising to the time, the weather, or the values ​​of a company. Since it is very limited content that is going to be played repeatedly, a player for Digital Signage is generally a small processor, the size of a hand or smaller, that can have the content to be played preloaded.

You can easily create your own content from anywhere, create a playlist for each site or office where you have your player, synchronize multiple screens for video wall applications, etc.
