VuWall unveiled a secure PoE ControlVu touch panel specifically for command and control room environments. ControlVu empowers operators with the freedom to manage visual scenarios on video walls and displays in a control room, directly from a PoE tablet. The new 10″ ControlVu touch panel, part number ControlVu-10-3, claims to deliver the highest level of security with a secure Linux operating system. It has an Ethernet PoE port and no other wireless options, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and no camera, all features that are typically not allowed in control room environments. VuWall says it is highly responsive and delivers 1920×1200 resolution.

As part of VuWall’s ecosystem, ControlVu is managed by the TRx centralized video wall management software platform. TRx’s integrated Control Panel Designer module allows users to create their own touch panel interfaces, where every button on every panel can be customized to the operators’ needs. Customization options can include any number of buttons, colors, and functions. Each button can be programmed to launch a different layout, manipulate sources and displays, control external devices, or run any number of the customizable scripts. All of these features are available for users to customize without having to write a single line of code, creating a flexible user experience for their operators.
