Nice many-many tiled display in Austrian club

by Dave Haynes | 28th July 2010

Montreal-based Matrox has put out a case study about an impressive install at a club in Linz, Austria. In a nutshell, 40 big flat panels are tiled together and running around the perimeter of the venue. The system runs off three Mac Pros and drives 15 Matrox triple-head video thingdoodles. If I am reading the study right, the video can be changed on the fly to match the music style.

The total panoramic resolution of the displays is very w-i-d-e 33,600 x 480, which must be really interesting to develop on a a single desktop screen.

A local creative firm does all the ambient video content.

Nerds can read the case study here.

    What a waste… the case study says each screen is running only at only 800×480 resolution. That means alot of wasted pixels as the LCDs are probably capable of doing at least 1366×768.

    On top of that, the videos have alot of repeating sequences in them. They would have probably been better off using a single PC (not 3) with 6 video outs and using the clone mode of the screens to stitch them all together. No one would have noticed.

    BTW, I like techno but and I agree with you about the track being annoying.
