NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions were the winners of 6 InfoComm16 awards for its 65-inch Ultra High-Definition (UHD) display and Direct View LED video wall. After a successful Digital Signage Expo collaboration, NEC invited Jon9 of the HOLONYNE corporation and Green Hippo to again, work together at InfoComm delivering a 4×4 portrait video wall.
Custom designed super-high resolution content delivering a story around fashion, sport, travel and people was displayed on a set of 16x video screens at a staggering 4320×7680 pixels, full 8K content. The Par4Keet Media Management and Digital Display Solution utilized the DisplayPort loop through the panels, feeding 4 x 3840×2160 into each 2×2 meaning all 4 outputs could be fully utilized.

Even in standard form, the system carries a set of tools to produce creative visual setups quickly and easily. Logo overlay, in/out points, and integration with protocols such as SMPTE and TCP/IP can be deployed and programmed easily from within the unit’s intuitive users interface removing the need for additional processing equipment or return visits to an edit suite.
Comprehensive output mapping tools brings much of the functionality found in video wall controllers inside the source machine removing the need for third party processors and enabling super-creative display layouts. By simply connecting all screens and placing the quadrants using the built in Output Manager making installation easy.

NONAGON – A Digital Fine Art piece created by Jon 9 for NEC Display Solutions at Infocomm
“I wanted to show something that is rarely seen at trade shows: digital art. And by ‘digital art’ I don’t mean digital reproductions of Picasso or Rembrandt – I mean the creative use of digital technology to delight the eye and tickle the mind…” said CEO Jon9, HOLONYNE Corporation.
“We had this incredible digital canvas to work with – around 25 million pixels– and I had some creative ideas and the tools to realize them. With this, we applied all to accomplish a main goal: to have everyone at the show talking about your products, your booth and your presence as a brand. Given the resolution and the quality of the display system – we could promote this as ‘digital fine art.’ Continues Jon 9.

With the advent of AViary Video Tools, we have taken this wealth of experience and developed a range of devices that bring a unique, high-grade and ultra-flexible way of working to a host of applications. We understand that users need to change and tune the way that video and imagery is displayed right up to the 11th hour. We also understand that display frameworks for parameters such as aspect ratio, screen positioning, rotation and so on have moved on since the days of a single 16:9 screen. Users want to be creative without limitations and mix and match displays at will. To this end we have built into every AViary product the ability to take video playback and output mapping to new levels without compromising usability and quality.
