A strategic partnership formed between video wall technology experts Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) and mobility solutions company Dynniq, has secured its first major control room project win. The partnership was formed to offer a turnkey solution for a traffic control room incorporating a UVS video wall solution with Dynniq’s Urban Traffic Management Control system, ImCity. Cloud-based platform ImCity is a cloud-based platform that has been designed to offer a flexible and open integration solution, enabling many different roadside assets, such as CCTV cameras, to be combined into a single Graphical User Interface. The control of the video wall layouts is provided within ImCity via a desk-mounted touch screen controller ImCity will be displayed using a UVS Lucidity video wall system in which a controller is configured to decode and display over 110 HD resolution IP streams collected from traffic cameras and multiple HDMI encoded data sources. This enables local authorities to effectively control various roadside assets from one integrated free-standing LCD video wall display, ensuring enhanced road safety and improved traffic flow without the need for significant infrastructure changes. The control of the video wall layouts is provided within ImCity via a desk-mounted touch screen controller. Integrated solution Steve Murphy, Managing Director of UVS, said, “The project was won after an extremely intensive tender process during the heart of the COVID pandemic when Dynniq and UVS combined to provide a comprehensive tender response.” UVS provides video wall displays and audiovisual solutions to a range of clients “We also jointly ‘raised the bar’ in providing remote, online live demonstrations of our integrated solution and providing compliance to the technical specifications which convinced the client that we had the right solution.” “We have been very impressed with both the Dynniq offering/solution and as importantly the people within the Dynniq organization and their wealth of experience.” Video wall and audiovisual solutions Tony O’Brien, Managing Director of Dynniq, said, “We are excited to be working with UVS on this project to fully integrate a 5m wide video wall display for an enhanced management experience for network operators using the new ImCity platform.” UVS, based in the Burnley First – Burnley Business Center, provides video wall displays and audiovisual solutions to a range of clients across the UK and the rest of the world.

Video wall and visual display experts Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) have developed a unique alarm system that alerts clients to on-screen color changes. The system, which operates within UVS’ Lucidity video wall controller and control software, was developed following a request from a major financial institution based in New York. Once installed, it will be used to alert staff to major downturns in financial and shares markets, when stocks or currencies starts to be displayed as red rather than green. But the alert system can also be used in any control room where on-screen color changes represent major fluctuations, such as power stations or traffic monitoring centers. Staff can set pre-set alarm points on the video wall screen and are alerted by a visual and audio alarm. UVS Managing Director Steve Murphy said: “The client has requested that our Lucidity video wall solution provides an audible and visual alarm on the video wall to indicate that, for example, an alarm window has changed from green to red state showing a severe currency change.” Lucidity control software UVS develops its Lucidity video wall controller solution based on requests that clients are keen to utilize" “But this system can also be used in a process control application or in any control room where display color changes are significant. We are now adding this feature as an option to the standard Lucidity control software or as a standard feature within our specially priced ‘Pro’ version.”  UVS launched its Lucidity brand of video wall controller and control software to fill a gap in the market for projects which do not require the full functionality of high end solutions. Steve Murphy added: “UVS continues to develop its Lucidity video wall controller solution to suit specific requests, we are finding that clients have been very keen to utilize our ability to take a request or requirement and develop a solution quickly within Lucidity.”  The Lucidity brand is aimed at clients who require a solution where full command and control components are not needed. The range is available from UVS to AV system integrators for resale to their end clients. It is not designed to compete with existing high end, full enterprise functionality video wall solutions, which the company continues to promote and supply.

UVS launches a unique new product to help a growing number of security and CCTV monitoring centres connect their outdated CCTV systems to modern, high specification video walls and displays. The ExDec Decoder and Software Suite, developed and launched by video wall and visual display solutions experts UVS (Ultimate Visual Solutions), was devised to help clients still using old-style IP encoders to turn the video signal from analog CCTV cameras into a digital signal. Custom Cropping Algorithms The ExDec Software Suite performs the required ‘bespoke’ IP decoding via a high-powered multi-output small form factor PC It has already been used to help two high-profile security clients deal with the transition to upgraded video wall displays, where there were both proprietary IP streams and ONVIF compatible systems using the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). The ExDec Software Suite performs the required ‘bespoke’ IP decoding via a high-powered multi-output small form factor PC. The outputs are then integrated within a UVS video wall controller, using unique custom cropping algorithms. Each individual decoded IP stream can then be selected and displayed anywhere on the video wall, alongside any standard RTSP stream or any other source type. CCTV Monitoring Systems Managing director Steve Murphy explained that the ExDec Decoder and Software Suite was devised after UVS was asked to install a video wall for a high security establishment in central London where there was a mixture of IP encoders, including many old legacy IP based video encoders which, due to their age, were not capable of being upgraded to ONVIF RTSP streams. He said: “This is a growing problem which more and more clients are sleepwalking into by continuing to use outdated systems within their security and CCTV monitoring systems. The UVS ExDec Software Suite is unique and runs silently in the background, seamlessly managing the display of the individual ‘bespoke’ IP streams in the operator selected positions on the video wall. As with all sources, these IP streams can form part of any wall pre-sets and can be resized / placed accordingly.” Audio Visual Solutions eyevis UK changed its name to Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) last September following the acquisition of eyevis GmbH by the Leyard group The UVS ExDec Software Suite offers seamless integration of non-standard or proprietary IP streams and allows the display of all types of IP video and other source types on to a single video wall canvas. It offers up to 64 data streams decoded simultaneously, using a single device, and is scalable to suite the number of streams required.
