LCD Video Walls

Common Uses (Applications):
- Conferencing and presentations
- Control room operations
- Education and research
LED Video Walls
LED video walls are also built from a tiled array of LED screens. This type of display consists of hundreds of tiny LEDs (light emitting diodes) that are mounted directly on a panel. Each LED is essentially a miniature lightbulb that emits a colored light.
Common Uses (Applications):
- Boardrooms
- Control rooms
- Corporate lobbies
- Experience centers
- Large scale architectural
- Signage displays
- Arenas, stadiums and large venues
Rear Projection Video Walls
For use in control rooms that operate in a 24/7 mode. Using projection instead of LCD or direct-view LED technology, rear projection video walls target different applications. A rear-projection video wall consists of multiple cubes, which feature a projector and a screen.
