RGB Spectrum GO 18 – 18-Output IP Video Wall Processor

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum Galileo GO 18 is a PC-based video wall processor for control rooms, command centers, and visualization environments that must display analog, digital, web, and IP-based sources across a single multi-screen surface. Built in a 4RU chassis supporting up to 18 outputs, this IP-enabled video wall processor drives a unified video wall or independent displays, with any source scaled to any window. Native integration with the RGB Spectrum Zio AV-over-IP platform means encoded sources are discovered automatically and Galileo output can be streamed to decoders, smart displays, or mobile devices. It is a cost-effective entry point to a 4K video wall system for government, security, and enterprise control-room deployments.

Product Description

The Galileo GO 18 pairs the openness of a PC architecture with the real-time performance commercial AV control rooms demand, delivering multi-window processing without dropped frames or image tearing. Operators drag and drop inputs and native applications such as VMS, SCADA, and videoconferencing directly onto the video wall, and an API supports scripted layout recall, remote alarm monitoring, and control of third-party equipment. The GO IP4K-E input/output card lets any content be encoded as an IP stream and pushed across the network, so a full wall mimic, a selected region of interest, or a baseband source not shown on the wall can be monitored remotely. That makes the processor a fit for smaller command-and-control rooms where staff still need to share the wall with another room, building, or mobile device.

With solid-state storage in a compact 4RU chassis, the GO 18 fits readily into a standard equipment rack while still delivering full Galileo processing and IP capability. Because input and output channel counts depend on chassis size and the installed card configuration, integrators can specify the exact I/O mix a project needs and expand later.

Key Features

• Compact output capacity — The 4RU chassis supports up to 18 outputs, an economical fit for smaller video walls and display groups.
• Any content anywhere — Analog, digital, web browser, and IP-based sources can be placed in scalable windows anywhere on the display surface.
• Native Zio AV-over-IP integration — Zio-encoded streams are discovered automatically and listed as Galileo sources, and Galileo output can be sent into the Zio ecosystem.
• IP stream encoding — The GO IP4K-E card encodes any source, region of interest, or full wall mimic as an IP stream for distribution across the network.
• 4K/UHD IP decoding — The processor decodes H.264 IP streams up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz for live motion video on the wall.
• HDCP support — Protected content is handled in compliance with HDCP, so copyrighted sources display correctly.
• SSD storage — A 256 GB solid-state drive supports reliable, fan-quiet operation in a compact chassis.
• Scripting and remote control — An API and powerful remote desktop technology let operators recall layouts, monitor alarms, and control third-party systems.

Typical Applications

• Command and control centers — Smaller security operations centers, emergency operations centers, and monitoring rooms.
• Government spaces — Agency operations rooms and secure facilities requiring HDCP-protected multi-source display.
• Conference and boardrooms — Meeting-space and boardroom video walls for live data and presentations.
• Training rooms — Multi-source display for instruction and simulation environments.
• Digital signage — Commercial signage walls driven from a single compact processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sources and displays is the GO 18 compatible with?
It accepts analog, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, 3G/HD/12G-SDI, and H.264 IP streams up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz, and drives HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and IP outputs, so it integrates with most commercial displays and LCD video wall arrays.

How is it mounted and installed?
The GO 18 ships in a compact 6.5 x 17.3 x 18.2 in 4RU chassis weighing 27 lbs, designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks in a control room or AV rack closet. Our team can help plan rack space, power, and cooling for your install.

How does it fit into an existing AV-over-IP system?
The processor is natively integrated with the RGB Spectrum Zio platform: Zio-encoded sources appear automatically as Galileo sources, and Galileo output can be encoded and streamed to Zio decoders, smart displays, or the Zio mobile app for remote monitoring.

Does the price include input and output cards?
No. The listed price is for the chassis only. The number of input and output channels depends on chassis size and your configuration, so I/O cards such as the GO IP4K-E are specified separately. Contact us for a configured quote.

What warranty and support are included?
The GO 18 carries a 1-year warranty. Creation Networks provides pre-sale design help and post-sale support; call us at 888-230-3661 or reach us through our contact page to request a quote or system design.
