Status of a display monitors

The display monitor can be operated on a standard computer that has one or more graphics cards. The videos are decoded by a software decoder. Therefore new compression procedures or new image formats can be easily upgraded.

The monitors can be arranged on a video wall and can be controlled and configured by the software. The computer feeds the video wall via digital or analog video inputs (e.g. HDMI, display port, DVI,..).

A video wall can consist of video projections, big screens, display cubes and so on.

A display monitor can display 1, 4, 6, 12 or 24 streams. If you want to display more on one host, you have to start multiple display monitor processes on this host.

With these buttons the grid number of the display monitor is changed accordingly.

A grid setting of 2x3 means that 6 monitor fields (=dialogs) on which streams can be opened are available. The white number in the field shows the dialog number. The dialogs are numbered consecutively starting at 1 from the upper right side to the lower left side.

The black number shows which camera is opened on the dialog. The operation mode of the dialog is displayed by the background color:

No camera is opened on the dialog.

A playback of camera 4 is opened on the dialog (currently not implemented).

A sequencer that displays camera 1 is opened on the dialog (currently not implemented).

The opened stream is adjusted (with distortion) to fit to the size of the dialog.

The opened stream is shown in the dialog with the default size.

The opened stream is zoomed to the size of the dialog and keeps the aspect ratio.
