That's a video wall controller unit. Companies like Electrosonic and GVC have made them for years, and yes, people are now using LCD monitors for that in sports and clothing stores.
I did a service call on one 3 X 3 LCD wall. No picture.
They knocked the Svideo cable from their satellite box out that went to the wall controller. Needless to say, the image looked like CRAP, and considering they had TWO in the store with all sorts of cubbyholes and nooks and crannies around them made me wonder why they bothered.
But you know the consumer.. gotta have it!
The only good application in Vancouver was the Disney Stories that had decent CRT based RP walls, usually a 2 X 2. But as usual, no one maintained them, so eventually they looked like crap too. |
But would they be any good for blending? or is the quality so crappy it isn't worth it? or does it only do 2x2 or 3x3, not 1x1?
This one looked like HD, the pictures were nice and sharp. I just thought it was interesting that if the panels could actually touch to make 1 big screen, there would be over lapped image.
Anybody?

If you are looking for an hard-edge blend...

I'd like to have the option to side stack marquee's. I know nothing about the issue, but I'd like to think it was possible. Still if you have a basement setup and lots of room, over under would be cool. Jask is doing some mods to get his projector tucked into the ceiling so that would reduce the need for some vertical height. Maybe don't do it under the fridge as he's planning though...
I'm sure Athanasios would like to have someone else doing a blend to toss ideas with.
As far as blending... I was in a sporting goods store a few days ago and they had 4 LCD TV's (2x2) with 1 big image on it. The image (if the screens were actually able to touch) would have had the equivalent of 10% overlap. So the dark center line in a blend would be taken care of. I wonder what they were using to do this? |
Nah, it was all bored sh*t stirring for no real reason. I wasn't even targeting anyone, just having fun, and some names that have given me grief frequently, were put out there by me, in a tongue and cheek way.

I was thinking you were crazy.
As for the blend, you could try a hard blend with the eyefinity cards. The midrange ATI cards I think do three displays at a time.
