1. Product Description
4K HDMI IP Video Wall Controller IPVDS-500-ED is an integrated control solution for playing
audio/video of multi-sources (such as PC, Media player, DVD or Blu-ray) on video wall displays and
many individual displays simultaneously.
It offers advanced wall management service in order to give perfect solution for accommodating
medium-sized and larger multi-board configurations such as control room, security, traffic
management and small-scale single-board systems for conference and classroom presentations.
The transmitter, IPVDS-500-E (Encoder) connected to a HDMI source, encodes the video with data
and transmits it over Ethernet. The receiver, IPVDS-500-D (Decoder) connected to a display, receives
the encoded signal over network and decodes it to regenerate the video and data for users.
The provided PC program “Layout Manager” makes the creation, editing, overlay, saving and pre-set
mode of wall layouts possible. It has an easy-to-use graphics user interface where any operation can
be set up by simple mouse clicks and drags.
IPVDS-500-ED also makes the transmitters and receivers units in the network to be configured to
individual IP address and helps the any of receivers to be connected simultaneously to any
transmitter within the network to create a virtual cross point matrix system as well as audio and video
system widely used in Pro-AV installation.
