HiperSource Browser new from NEC


NEC says “it just got easier to manage and display multiple web content sources simulta- neously on a video wall” fol- lowing NEC Display Solutions’ announcement of a major per- formance upgrade to its range of video walls and the release of HiperSource Browser. NEC’s long-term partner Hiperwall recently released Hiperwall Version 6.0 The software in- corporates Hiperwall’s new HiperSource Browser which makes it simple to publish web- based content onto large visual canvases, such as video walls and direct view LED (dvLED) screens.


HiperSource Browser provides a direct connection between web content and the video wall, enabling administrators to by- pass screen capture, bringing enhanced flexibility and great- er control over content. At the same time, NEC customers can benefit from Hiperwall’s new li- censing programme which can deliver cost-effective flexibility. The software provides better management for a range of dis- play applications from advanced collaborative analysis on trading floors to control rooms where operators will benefit from the ability to bring in content from multiple sources for a spectac- ular viewing experience. Mean- while, Hiperwall’s new Hiper- View LED add-on controls all the pixels within an LED video wall, making it possible to crop


the native LED controller reso- lution to the actual size of the visual canvas.


As a Hiperwall partner, the new capabilities are immedi- ately available across a range of NEC products, including its direct view LED displays and its ten new video wall displays launched at ISE 2019. “Large digital canvases are a game changer in a huge range of in- dustries but managing content layout


from multiple sources


efficiently can be a major chal- lenge,”


said Thorsten Wilm, Manager Software Solutions and Future Technologies at NEC Display Solutions Europe. “The global video wall market is worth more than $4 billion and is set to grow at an average of 15 per cent each year over the next decade as more and more or- ganisations seek to benefit from compelling, immersive visual experiences to captivate audi- ences,” continued Wilm. As well as enhanced function-


ality, Hiperwall now features a more flexible licensing pro- gramme that provides a more cost-effective upgrade path. A new application, HiperFailSafe software, and the repositioning of the controller software en- ables users to economically up- grade a single controller system to a fault tolerant system. New customers will have the option to buy Hiperwall licenses à la carte and get the optimum con- figuration for their needs.

responds to the needs of con- trol rooms, broadcast studios, corporate lobbies, experience centres, meeting rooms and sig- nage applications and countless other possibilities. The OverView LVD5521B joins the OverView KVD5521B as part of Barco’s highly renowned OverView LCD video wall portfo- lio, complementing the premi- um Barco UniSee platform. The extremely narrow bezel makes sure that the inter-modular seams are minimized. Barco’s signature Sense X algorithm – the unique automatic and con- tinuous colour and brightness calibration system − ensures a perfectly balanced image is pro- duced across the entire wall at all times.

Zytronic speeds check-in at doctors’ surgeries


Over 47 million patients have checked in to see their GP through a Zytronic PCT touch sensor. The sensors, supplied by distributor Display Technol- ogy, have been the top choice for Engage Health Systems Ltd (formerly known as Wig- gly-Amps Ltd), one of the UK’s leading suppliers of patient-fac- ing services for the healthcare sector. Jon Witte, Managing Direc-


tor of Engage Health Systems, explains: “Our expertise lies in developing user-friendly and secure systems which make pa- tients and clinicians lives easier and ensure a safe working en- vironment for all staff. We are

passionate about developing and implementing products which simplify, digitise and safeguard the workplace. Our clients tell us how our products have helped empower their staff and patients whilst streamlining administrative tasks to achieve a cost-effective, efficient work- ing environment.”


The vision for Engage Touch was to allow patients to quick- ly and conveniently check-in for their appointment and to assist the practice with captur- ing patient data. With a patient check-in kiosk, practices avoid lengthy queues at reception and improve operating efficiency. A number of key consider-

ations surrounded the choice of touch sensor. Clearly the sensor itself had to offer exceptional performance – a clear, crisp response even if the touch was hesitant. Engage Touch is built to order whether it’s a single order placed by a surgery or a large CCG procurement. The touch screen supplier needed to offer complete flexibility of supply, to suit Engage Health Systems’ requirements. Jon Witte commented: “We


now have over 1500 terminals live in doctor’s surgeries around the country. All our terminals come with a lifetime guarantee and we’ve never had a unit back because of a touch issue. They


see a surprising level of abuse. They’ve been ripped off the wall and we regularly see them with scratches and gouges, but the touch screen just keeps going.” Ian Crosby, Sales and Mar-


keting Director at Zytronic, con- cluded, “Our partnership with Engage Health Systems Ltd has gone from strength to strength for over ten years. They have continuously developed and improved the software at the heart of their product. Zytronic touch sensors have provided a reliable, rugged and flexible in- terface for patients and surgery staff to access the capabilities of this outstanding terminal.”


of Barco’s latest generation of indoor video walls. The use of the LCD Connect makes it easy to install and control the video wall, while enhancing user-friendliness. The integra- tion of DisplayPort v1.2, which makes it possible to feed 4 displays in loop-through with 4K@60Hz content, is vital for easy connection with a limit- ed number of cables. The new UniSee Present media-focused controller expands this expe- rience; it’s the perfect way to present content on the video walls


in signage applications, including lobbies, experience centres and retail stores. The OverView LVD5521B will start shipping from June 2019 onwards.


Barco adds a new OverView


Barco has introduced a new addition to its mid-range Barco OverView LCD video-wall series. The OverView LVD5521B is a 55” 500-nit LCD solution that features a 1.8-mm seam, mod- ular


structure for easy main-


tenance, noiseless operation, automatic colour and bright- ness calibration and the option of operating the (redundant) power supply remotely. In this way, the OverView LVD5521B


to be quickly removed from the display for easy maintenance or replacement. This prevents downtime and speeds up servic- ing. The absence of cooling fans not only minimizes noise, but also eliminates moving parts (which are susceptible to wear), optimizing both the lifetime and the total cost of ownership (TCO).
