New Release of Innovative Centralized Multi-Video Wall Management Platform Facilitates Simple Video Wall Configuration and Operation in Control Room and Corporate AV Environments
MONTREAL — Sept. 8, 2021 —VuWall, a technology leader in video wall control systems and unified visualization solutions, today announced the release of TRx version 3.1, the company’s centralized video wall management platform. The TRx platform is unique in delivering advanced video wall management and AV distribution capabilities and this major update facilitates the configuration and operation of video wall deployments in professional and mission-critical AV environments.
“Integrators and operators continue to struggle with handling big data and complex workflows and harmoniously managing various sources and multiple brands on a single network in their AV-over-IP deployments,” said Paul Vander Plaetse, founder and CEO of VuWall. “By further simplifying the configuration and operation of video wall systems while enhancing performance and usability, VuWall is addressing this core industry challenge.”
The feature-rich enhancements found in the TRx 3.1 release include:
Video Wall Stitching – Users can build unlimited-sized video walls by stitching multiple VuScape video wall nodes or build an SDVoE video wall by stitching VuStream 510 decoders. This feature increases processing scalability and flexibility while adding a layer of redundancy.
Redesigned User Interface (UI) – In addition to the clean new look, the redesigned UI offers customers a faster and easier configuration and operation experience. It simplifies workflows for adding new devices (device provisioning function), features a new favorites menu for quick access, utilizes colored borders and on-screen display (OSD), and much more.
Increased Software KVM Performance – Now, with a much higher frame rate for smoother rendering, audio support and the most recent compatibility with the ADDERLink ipeps+, operators have a simple workflow for bringing PCs from segregated networks onto the video wall and controlling them from a keyboard and mouse.
As VuWall’s core software platform, TRx is the perfect solution for seamless multi-video wall and single-display control and visualization throughout multiple rooms, floors and campuses. It is the only platform that distributes AV-over-IP signals and provides full-featured video wall management software. TRx features an intuitive interface with easy drag-and-drop operation, a built-in HTML-based control panel designer, scripting, advanced security and user rights management, and an extensive API. Thanks to its interoperable and hybrid design, it simplifies the deployment of complex AV-over-IP projects with a single centralized platform that installs easily while routing and servicing hundreds of sources without any programming.

Video walls consist of multiple monitors tiled together to form one large screen. In today’s interconnected world, video wall technology has made a significant impact on all companies, no matter the industry. It is the ideal tool to convey information used in a wide range of environments from corporate workspaces to lobby signage, public spaces, classrooms, auditoriums and mission-critical control rooms.
Many big brands and Fortune 500 companies have recognized the importance of video walls, and as video walls are becoming more affordable and scalable, many smaller organizations have also jumped on board, realizing how this technology can help them be more productive and increase their brand visibility.
Benefits of Using a Video Wall and How They Work
Here are 6 benefits that a video wall can bring to your organization:
1. Internal & External Communications
Every corporate workspace, control room or public space has a ton of data and information that needs to be conveyed to either employees, audiences or customers in order to grab their attention or trigger a reaction. “One image is worth a thousand words”: video walls help share information visually in real-time with high impact. With the large number of pixels available, they allow to combine information coming from different sources and in different formats.
For example:
Airports use video walls to display flight schedules but also advertisements and emergency messaging in case of evacuations
Corporate Lobbies or Breakrooms may want to include daily company announcements, key performance dashboards, their Twitter RSS feed, a welcome message for an important guest and perhaps some corporate messaging or advertising.
Corporations and Universities use video walls in collaboration rooms, training/classrooms and visualization suites. They may require the use of third-party collaboration or training software.
Emergency Centers use video walls to provide operators with critical information helping them respond quickly and accurately to complex emergency situations.
Security and Transportation Monitoring Centers may need access to IP cameras and interact with video management systems.
Whatever the specific needs are, video walls accompanied by the right video wall controller can accomplish any of the scenarios above and are only limited by your imagination or ingenuity.
2. Easy Configuration and Control
Not all advanced technology has to be complex. Video wall controllers simplify the configuration and operation of video walls, giving users absolute control of what they want to display, where and how on the video wall; offering a completely customizable experience without any programming knowledge. Video wall processors are available for all types of video walls, and some even offer a software platform to manage content distribution throughout several video walls within an organization, a facility or even a multi-site organization, all from a single centralized platform.
Collaborating with a content creation agency may further enhance the visualization experience that you are trying to create, making the most of your video wall investment.

3. Interactivity
Consumers expect intelligent, engaging interactions from companies in today’s technological era. As such, employees expect the same from their employers.
With video walls, you can engage consumers and employees with incredible graphics, but touch screens bring a whole other level of engagement where graphics and/or information is triggered upon the touch of the screen or a portion of the screen.
4. Reliability & First Impressions
“You never get a second chance to make a great first impression” Have you stepped into a company and noticed “the blue screen of death” on their displays? Or that the video wall was malfunctioning or just off? Typically, such an incident is likely due to the inadequacy of the video wall processor powering the video wall.
Aside from the bad impression that a malfunctioning video wall may cause, more importantly, in an emergency center or a security monitoring facility, a malfunctioning video wall can be catastrophic. While investing in a video wall, it’s worth investing in a cutting-edge video wall processor to maximize your investment. The right video wall processor will not only provide reliability and security, it will also provide increased performance and usability.
5. Multi-Source Visualization
Often, a video wall is used to display content from multiple sources at once. If you need to display video streams from many channels and in various formats on your video wall at once, you’ll need a video wall processor, preferably an interoperable one that can process any content source format and display it on any display type. Some video wall processors have format limitations or are limited to one type of display (LCD, LED, projector) per processor, whereas other more advanced ones are agnostic to source types and displays.
6. Increased Flexibility, Scalability and Creativity
Deploying a video wall allows ever-changing content such as promotions, graphics, news, dashboards and any other information, to be easily managed, changed and controlled. Video walls can grow in size, without having to replace displays, but simply by adding more units to increase your canvas size. The right video wall processor can be upgraded on-site to handle more displays without having to completely replace your processor. With the ability to process any type of content from various apps and display sources in any configuration, size, or aspect ratio, content creators and administrators have the creative capacity to do virtually anything they want and easily change layouts and graphics as often as they want with the touch of a button.
Video walls give companies remarkable versatility in their operations. Consider the above-mentioned benefits and incorporate a video wall in your organization to enhance your brand image and increase productivity.
