Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method for efficiently creating a seamless canvas across multiple display units by splitting source video into sub-images and distributing them to the displays. The invention also includes methods for optimizing display placement and bezel correction, as well as user feedback for creating a configuration file. The technical effects of this patent include improved viewer-image quality, simplified installation, and improved alignment of multiple display units.

Problems solved by technology

Because the plurality of display devices need to be operated together to display a single image or canvas across a video-wall (rather than a separate independent image for each display), the set-up of the output displays is critical and their fine tuning can be laborious.
With conventional approaches to video-wall setup these tasks can be laborious.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]A video wall server splits source-video into sub-images and distributes these sub-images to multiple listening display devices. Built-in algorithms optimize, parse and scale the individual video-wall segments. To accomplish this splitting efficiently it is beneficial to create a configuration file stored in a computer readable medium using information on the position, configuration and settings for each of individual physical display and how they relate to the video-wall canvas. Using such a configuration file allows the video wall server to efficiently create a seamless canvas across the display units. This invention deals with methods of supplying the information for the creation of such files by means of user feedback base on test-canvasses and to sequentially changing the configuration file before redeploying a test-canvas to further improve the overall viewer-image.

[0008]Configuration of Displays: This invention provides methods equipping the server with a configuration f...
