display walls. Its multi-screen capability allows you to control dis-
plays assembled of multiple projection modules. The display area is one logically connected display. It is able to
digitally control projectors based on most modern technologies with the highest display quality. High contrast
and absolute immunity to electromagnetic interference distinguishes this type of control.
Analog monitors and projectors can also be controlled by E
OS
using the optional analog output. Thus, multi-
monitor operator stations can be ergonomically designed and easily implemented.

The E
OS
system provides a flexible and scalable architecture, which is suitable to support different sizes of display
walls. Systems with one up to 12 projection cubes can be set up with a single E
OS
, for displaying lots of video and
RGB sources one or more additional E
OS
E
XTENDERS
are required.
Whether a single E
OS
or in combination with an E
OS
E
XTENDER
, both the user and the application software ‘see’ one
single display. Installation, operation and service do not differ from that of a standard Windows workstation.
