Best New VideoWall Product (tie): Just Add Power’s HD/IP Gear and Planar Mosaic

Just Add Power’s HD/IP Gear: We’ll bet you barely noticed them at InfoComm as they were in the BTX booth, but Just Add Power has a unique set of video wall distribution/control products that you NEED to know about. It’s distributed rather than centralized; in other words, you build a video wall (2×2  up to 16×16) and you place a receiver behind each monitor (IP/Ethernet in and HDMI out). The content is sent via the network from your sources, you control it all from the company’s “MediaSwitcher” software — you have a network-based videowall that’s half of what any centralized controller costs. Here’s the video we shot at the InfoComm show and here is the product page.

Planar Mosaic: The Planar Mosaic Architectural Video Walls feature three different sizes of LCD display tiles, including a truly square 22″ display tile, a 46″ and a 55″. Planar Mosaic video tiles can be mounted in any position relative to each other, and individually at almost any angle. With unencumbered position flexibility, off-board power supplies and sophisticated Planar Mosaic Project Designer Software, Planar Mosaic sets a new standard for architectural video walls. Details are here and here’s a video we shot at InfoComm in the Almo booth.
