subject: Rear Projection Cubes: Display Wall Systems [print this page] For a superior video display wall system experience, you need the very latest in video technology with built in features that make owning, maintaining and using these systems a breeze. The best projection cubes are going to offer a large resolution screen and two different types of accessibility. These are rear access cubes and front access cubes. If you are looking for a rear access cube for your display wall system, you will find that the best models have easy rear accessibility for control rooms along with additional service space behind its video wall. Although vivid and balanced colors and brightness are two very important attributes of a good unit, there are many other features that must be considered to ensure that you purchase the right one for your needs.
Some of the top models of projection cubes have been specifically engineered for mission critical applications, and they offer several built in features to ensure the reliable, steady, predictable performance for years without needing repairs or suffering breakdowns. Look for models that use Smart Lamp technology so that your display wall system cubes communicate and maintain uniformity through every visual inch automatically, without external direction.
Traditionally, the lamps have always been the weakest part of these systems and had in the past been terrible to try to replace. However, there are now some high quality models that will automatically adjust themselves for consistent brilliance and color whenever a lamp is replaced. This is an important part of keeping multi screen configurations vibrant and sharp and to maintaining uniform brightness as well. Auto configuration capabilities are very handy, convenient, easy and provide minimal servicing needs.
If you are replacing your current system with a different one, make sure that you know what kind of downtime you should expect and make sure that you can afford that downtime. Of course it is always best to upgrade to a system that requires minimal downtime and also one that has many options to let you configure your system to fit your control room needs.
Should you need it, look for a projection cube with internal data processing that allows several windows per cube and windows that can be stretched across the video wall. This way, you may not need a separate image processor. It is very convenient to be able to move multiple windows easily and freely, so you will want to look for display wall systems that can be entirely controlled from an intuitive graphical user interface.
