A covers the complete
range of today’s display wall controller
requirements and scales perfectly with
the growing demands in a quickly
evolving world.
OmniScaler technology
T

ORM
A distinguishes itself from
other display wall controllers by the
consequent realization of the all-digital
concept. Quality reducing analog paths
and matrix switchers inside the system
are kept out by design. The signals are
immediately digitized when entering
the system and subsequently digitally
processed in the O

S
CALER
. Unlike
other controllers the O

S
CALER
features individual scaling factors for
every single data source, even if there
are many on one channel. This results
in superior signal quality for all
windows on the display wall.
Also for small walls, particularly with a given
amount of video and RGB sources, T

can provide a cost-efficient entry level
