Talk:Video wall

Questionable claims

The statement regarding Windows-based Network video walls and their much better functionality is rather dubious without any references to independent sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.47.109.184 (talk) 10:24, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Poor Title

The title for this page is very strange. In the field of visualization, people would call this a "display wall". I think people would understand a speaker who said "video wall", but they would certainly give them an odd look for moment, until they figured out what was really meant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.217.89 (talk) 05:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I have no citations but hopefully this helps anyway. A video wall is an array of screens operating as one to display a single program. A display wall is what you may find in a control room - multiple screens each displaying their own thing. --Kvng (talk) 23:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Display wall is definitely the correct term for what this page is talking about— check the home pages for SAGE and Chromium as references. A display wall is not multiple screens each displaying their own thing, it's an array of screens operating as one to display a single program. 129.6.59.101 (talk) 20:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Resolution

Can anyone confirm whether the segment "...still images up to 1GB resolution..." should be "...still images up to 1GP resolution..." (as in gigapixel over gigabyte, as gigabyte is not a resolution). --NuncIdVides (talk) 21:40, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

The InformationWeek ref says 25,600 by 8,000 pixels which is about 200 M pixel. I have removed the resolution numbers. --Kvng (talk) 14:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

What is LDW?

Large Display Wall?? It is never defined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.234.45 (talk) 13:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

German Videowand should not be linked here

This page is linked to the German Wikipedia page for "Videowand" but they don't appear to be talking about the same thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.178.153 (talk) 13:16, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion: Reclassify Jupiter Systems and update video wall controller section

I am a contractor working with Jupiter Systems, so I'm disclosing a conflict of interest and suggesting these changes for community review rather than editing directly.

Jupiter Systems is currently listed alongside Datapath and Matrox as a "specialized graphic cards" company in the article. This categorization is inaccurate - Jupiter is a dedicated video wall controller and processor manufacturer (founded 1981, Hayward, California) with over 40 years in the industry. The company does not manufacture graphics cards.

Suggested changes

1. In the "Video wall controller" section, Jupiter Systems should be reclassified from the graphics card grouping to the dedicated video wall controller/processor manufacturers. Jupiter's product range spans multiple architectures discussed in the article: FPGA-based controllers (J-Series), software-based Windows processors (Catalyst), and networked/distributed AV-over-IP systems (PixelNet), making it one of few manufacturers covering all three categories.

2. Jupiter's PixelNet product line holds JITC certification and is listed on the DoDIN Approved Products List for U.S. military and government use.

Suggestion: Add COB (Chip-on-Board) MicroLED technology to the article

I am a contractor working with Jupiter Systems (COI disclosure), but this suggestion is primarily about a technology category (COB MicroLED) that is currently absent from the article, not about any single manufacturer.

The article covers LED video walls but doesn't mention Chip-on-Board (COB) technology, which represents a significant manufacturing advancement over traditional Surface-Mount Device (SMD) LED panels. COB bonds LED chips directly to the PCB substrate rather than using individual packaged LEDs, resulting in improved durability, better thermal management, and higher pixel density.

Suggested addition

Under the display technology sections, a brief paragraph on COB technology:

"Chip-on-Board (COB) is a newer LED manufacturing approach for direct-view LED video walls in which LED chips are bonded directly to the printed circuit board substrate, eliminating the individual LED packages used in traditional surface-mount device (SMD) displays. COB technology offers improved reliability, as the LED chips are protected by an epoxy layer rather than being individually exposed. Several manufacturers have introduced COB-based video wall panels for professional applications."

I'm suggesting this because COB is a notable technology development in the video wall industry that the article should cover. Happy to help find additional non-Jupiter COB sources to make the section more comprehensive. Cp1414 (talk) 14:22, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Press release churnalism articles are generally not regarded to be usable sources. MrOllie (talk) 14:25, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Fair point. Addressing both suggestions on this page:

For the reclassification: replacing the rAVe sources with (1) the DoDIN Approved Products List (DISA), which lists Jupiter Systems PixelNet as a certified "Video Distribution System" (https://aplits.disa.mil/processAPList.action, keyword search: Jupiter), a U.S. Department of Defense source, and (2) Cindy Davis, "ISE Best of Show Winners: Comments from the Judges' Table," AVNetwork, February 14, 2024 (https://www.avnetwork.com/news/ise-best-of-show-winners-comments-from-the-judges-table), an independently judged award where the CRS-5K is described as part of the Catalyst video processor family.

For the COB suggestion, I'll withdraw it until I can find stronger non-manufacturer-specific editorial sources on COB technology. The technology gap in the article is real, but the current sources aren't strong enough. Cp1414 (talk) 10:24, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
