The Extron WindoWall^® Pro System is a powerful and versatile, yet user-friendly approach for multi-display videowall systems. It features a highly scalable architecture that delivers optimum performance and reliability. Full HDCP compliance at all HDMI inputs and outputs assures worry-free presentation of protected content. WindoWall Console software is the user interface to the system, facilitating intuitive, straightforward control and configuration of videowall systems, and the creation of presentations with multiple, independent windows for displaying graphics, HDTV, and video. WindoWall Pro is typically used to manage images on two to six screens. The WindoWall Pro System is an ideal choice for applications that require highly reliable, multi-window videowall systems.

Distributed Video Processing

WindoWall Pro employs a distributed video processing architecture that dedicates a separate high resolution graphics processor to each projector, video cube, or flat-panel monitor in the videowall system. Each WindoWall Pro processor allows for the display of up to four windows, each of which can show video, HDTV, or high resolution computer-video content. It employs proven Extron video processing technologies to deliver a fully optimized, high quality video output. The WindoWall Pro processor is compatible with virtually any available display and outputs high resolution video at resolutions up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K.

Because a discrete, real-time processor is dedicated to each display unit in the videowall, WindoWall Pro is fully scalable, supporting a wide variety of display layouts from 1x2 to 2x3 and larger. An Extron CrossPoint^® Ultra, CrossPoint 450 Plus, or HDMI matrix switcher is required when distributing multiple input sources to the WindoWall Pro processors.

Key Minder^®

To enhance and simplify integration of sources and displays, WindoWall Pro features Key Minder, an Extron-exclusive technology. For HDMI signals with protected content, Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments. When receiving an HDCP-encrypted HDMI input source, WindoWall Pro displays a green window on any video output connected to a non-HDCP compliant display. This provides immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

WindoWall Console Software

WindoWall Console software brings all of the WindoWall Pro processors and the matrix switcher together via TCP/IP, and provides the tools and features to set up, create, and manage videowall presentations with up to four windows per display or video cube unit. The software includes intuitive Wizards that take the user step-by-step through the process of setting up a videowall and then configuring all input sources and the matrix switcher to be used in the system.

Once setup is complete, customized window layouts can be created with the aid of a virtual canvas that lets you size and position windows anywhere as they would be shown on the videowall display. A static or live background display behind the windows adds a theme to the videowall presentation. Window layouts can be saved to 100 available memory presets for future recall.

Features

Wizard-based graphical user interface for videowall system setup

RGB, HDTV component video, and HDCP-compliant HDMI output — The WindoWall Pro processor simultaneously outputs analog RGB computer-video or HDTV component video signals and digital HDMI, for compatibility with virtually any display device.

HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A green window is displayed when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

Key Minder^® continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.

Virtual canvas for on-screen videowall visualization and dynamic window placement and sizing

Optional HDMI inputs

Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K

Adjustments for window positioning, sizing, zoom, and priority; background and window border color selection

Graphic Still Store enables use of uploaded graphics as background images — A powerful feature that enables uploaded BMP bitmap graphics to be stored in memory for use as background images to create themed multimedia presentations. Each WindoWall Pro processor can store up to six high resolution images, offering an easy way to display frequently used images such as a company logo.

Live video background from a dedicated HDMI source — In addition to Graphic Still Store, live, full-motion, high resolution computer video or HDTV from an HDMI source can be used as a background to any presentation.

EDID Emulation provides selectable resolutions and refresh rates to ensure reliable operation — WindoWall Pro provides a means for specifying the rate of the incoming signal, ensuring proper communication with the video source.

Auto-Image™ setup — Each WindoWall Pro processor automatically optimizes the image to the scaled output rate, eliminating complex setup procedures.

Image freeze control — Any image in a picture-in-picture window can be frozen via the front panel, RS-232 or RS-422 control, or Ethernet control.

Text overlay for window caption labeling — Each picture-in-picture window can be labeled with a text label of up to 16 characters, generated through RS-232 or RS-422 control, or Ethernet control. Custom options are available for text positioning, text color, character size, translucent or color-selectable background, and text border.

Picture controls for each window, including color, tint, brightness, contrast, and detail

100 memory presets for videowall layout configurations — A total of 100 customizable presets are available to quickly save and recall window configurations for the videowall system. These presets can easily be configured using the WindoWall Console software.

3:2 NTSC and 2:2 PAL pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film.

Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video signals to the windows can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full window display, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.

Quad standard video decoding — The WindoWall Pro processor uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration into systems worldwide.

Internal test patterns for calibration and setup — The WindoWall Pro processor offers several test patterns, including a crop pattern, crosshatch, 16 bar grayscale, color bars, alternating pixels, ramp, white field, 4 x 4 crosshatch for use with videowalls, three film aspect ratio patterns - 1.78, 1.85, and 2.35, crop patterns for setting up side-by-side windows, and two patterns for fully populating 4:3 and 16:9 screens with 4:3 images. It also features a blue-only mode for proper setup of video color and tint levels.

Ethernet monitoring and control — Ethernet control enables WindoWall Pro System control and management for all WindoWall Pro processors over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the WindoWall Pro processor can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows^®-based control program, or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

Rack-mountable 2U, full rack width metal enclosure with included brackets

Includes LockIt^® HDMI cable lacing brackets

Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability.
