glynor's Great Wall of Video
newsposter:
U guys using the Matrox or Sceptre video wall stuff? Their stuff is the 'gold standard' in terms of stability and ease of setup/use but unfortunately overshadowed by the glitzy (read: high profit and high maintenance) stuff that AV houses usually sell.
It's long past the time when walls like this were black magic.

Amazing stuff! Nice pics Glynor.
Just incase Michel is snoozing... I'd like to make second dibs on the display.(I just need a heads up as I'll have to nock a wall out to make space for it)

It's somewhere in-between. It's based on a Matrox output card, but I think the capture cards (which I'm not using) are custom.
Since it is entirely possible that we will be not getting a new system from this company and instead getting our money back, I'd really be very interested in any advice you could give. I had previously decided that if we get our money back that I was going to try to build something myself (probably buy an off-the-shelf dual-CPU Xeon (Penryn) server box, and then buy my own Matrox cards). I'd be interested in knowing anything more you can tell me, since you obviously know a little bit about it at least (or can at least point me towards some references).

glynor,
We'd be interested in giving you a quote. We have a small group in Phoenix that does custom servers. They're part of JRiver. They just built our TV server for about $2800. Multi-processor, multi-core, 1TB disk, rack mount case with special cooling. A beast. You could save money doing it yourself, but they'll save you time and aggrevation. I think your requirements might fit really well with their skills.
Jim
