RGB Spectrum MediaWall 2900 – 24x4 HDMI Video Wall Processor

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum MediaWall 2900 is a 24x4 video wall processor built for mission-critical control rooms, command centers, and security operations centers that need many sources distributed across a large multi-screen display. This rack-mount display processor accepts up to 24 DVI, HDMI, and RGB inputs and drives four DVI single-link outputs (or two DVI dual-link), showing up to eight fully scalable windows across the wall. Built on RGB Spectrum's real-time embedded operating system, it delivers full-frame-rate processing with no dropped frames, HDCP compliance, and hardened security with no PC vulnerabilities. It is a dependable choice for integrators specifying a secure video wall processor for government, military, and enterprise deployments.

Product Description

The MediaWall 2900 uses a purpose-built hardware architecture that dedicates processing resources to each input, so every source is rendered at full frame rate, color sampling, and pixel rate without skipped frames or image tearing. It accepts DVI, HDMI 1.3a, and analog RGB/YPbPr signals supporting graphics up to 1920 x 1200 and HD inputs up to 2048 x 1152, and outputs to four displays or projectors at up to 1920 x 1200 and 2048 x 1080 per output. With the optional DVI dual-link output, the 2900 can drive resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 per output for high-resolution displays. Up to eight multi-format windows can be placed anywhere on the wall, in any size, across screen boundaries, with edge-blend overlap and bezel compensation for clean tiled arrays.

Windows can be displayed in correct aspect ratio, stretched to fit, shown full screen, or zoomed to highlight areas of interest, and preferred layouts can be saved as presets and recalled instantly. The unit is enclosed in a rugged 2RU rack-mount chassis designed for 24/7 operation, and on power restoration it reboots immediately and returns every window to its exact prior position. Operators control the system through RGB's Web Control Panel for local or remote access with drag-and-drop window positioning, or via RS-232 and Telnet, with optional Single-Point KVM and third-party control system support. Because the embedded operating system has no PC vulnerabilities, it resists the viruses and malware that affect PC-based walls, which makes it well suited to secure command-center environments. Integrators can compare it with the rest of our video wall processors or explore command-center options on our command and control solutions page.

Key Features

• 24-input capacity — Accepts up to 24 simultaneous DVI, HDMI, and analog RGB inputs, bringing a wide mix of sources to a single wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sources and displays is the MediaWall 2900 compatible with?
It accepts up to 24 inputs across DVI single-link, HDMI 1.3a, and analog RGB/YPbPr, supporting graphics to 1920 x 1200 and HD to 2048 x 1152. It drives four DVI single-link outputs (or two dual-link) to monitors, cubes, or projectors, up to 2560 x 1600 per output in dual-link mode.

How is it mounted and how much rack space does it need?
The MediaWall 2900 is housed in a rugged 2RU rack-mount chassis (17 x 3.5 x 18 in) weighing under 25 lbs, designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding environments.

How does it integrate into an existing AV or control system?
Operators use RGB's Web Control Panel for local or remote access with drag-and-drop window control, plus RS-232 and Telnet for remote commands, and it works with third-party control systems. Optional Single-Point KVM is available for operator interaction with sources.

Does it support HDCP-protected content?
Yes. Both the DVI and HDMI inputs are HDCP compliant, so protected sources such as a Blu-ray player can be displayed across the wall.

What warranty and support are available?
The MediaWall 2900 carries a manufacturer warranty and is supported by Creation Networks. For warranty questions, configuration help, or technical assistance, contact Creation Networks at 888-230-3661 or visit our contact page.

How does it differ from the MediaWall 1900?
The 2900 provides four outputs (or two dual-link) for larger walls, while the 1900 provides two outputs. Compare both on our video wall processors collection and request a quote through our contact page.
