you are welcome

[@sitanshujay]

good job

[@VE4NSA]

Nice, clear presentation

[@vasotsir]

Ok, it could be silly but, could I use many laptop screen monitors, that have the same resolution and connect them together and then connect them with a laptop and then use them all as one continuous screen? could I do that?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Here's what you could do: you could set up all you laptops in a cluster (given that they have the necessary hardware for syncing) and have one laptop run as your master and all the others run as Ventuz Runtime machines. Then you could control them all from the master laptop. To learn more about how to set up clusters in Ventuz, look here: www.ventuz.com/support/help/latest/HowTo/HowToClusterRendering.html?itm=293

[@joshuastrutton9036]

it would be interesting if you took this concept and hooked up like 20 or more HDMI 5" LCD borders and make it as a U formation around you.

[@ganeshale9537]

Wow

[@eyefinitygameplay]

That is awesome!

[@Buds1own]

nowadays we can beam it from our phone! :)

[@justinbourne5888]

that cool setup, now i know how they do it at big festival

[@djkadakamc1889]

Not exactly

[@ProjectRK3147]

hi, good day. I am interested with this solutions. 3 x 6 (18 Display) Video Wall Matrix 18-Inputs PC with alternative video wall configuration profile, 3 of 3x2 in a 3x6 video wall, 1 of 3x5 with 1 of 3x1 in a 3x6 video wall, 1 of 3x6 in a 3x6 video wall. Is this possible?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Richard, sounds absolutely possible. For more detailed information, contact our team at [e-mail] or visit the forum at forum.ventuz.com.

[@hayzeproductions7093]

Ventuz, What kind of PCI or PCI Express cards are you using in the racmount pc's? Would love to do a setup like this for my new office, Would this software also support actual gameplay?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Fab Social. Here are the official PCI specs for our Vbox basic/advanced/ultra: 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16 (1x preinstalled with GPU) 1x PCI-E 3.0 x4 (in x8, covered by Dual Slot GPUs) 2x PCI-E 3.0 x8 1x PCI-E 2.0 x4 (in x8) 1x PCI-E 2.0 x2 (in x8) As to gaming - you could live stream the output from the gaming machine into the Ventuz server. For more details, you are welcome to ask the community in the forum at forum.ventuz.com and watch our other tutorials here on KZbin. Or send us your question to [e-mail].

[@hayzeproductions7093]

Ventuz, that was an opposite answer to my question. Im not interested about the pci express slots on the motherboard, im asking about the pci express cards that are connected to the motherboard of the Vbox.

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Fab Social, sorry about that. Here is the link to XI-Machines who manufacture the VBoxes. I'm sure you will find all information there regarding hardware that VBoxes support in their configuration: xi-machines.com/en/systems-ventuz-vbox-amd.php#tabs-specs.

[@hayzeproductions7093]

+Ventuz Technology perfect! thank you

[@catholiccontriversy]

Thanks for the video. Using the right video converters, would I be able to make a wall of CRTs using different size screens? I want to make a video wall like something out of a 90s villain lair that's made of various CRT TVs, and I want more than just "15 SD videos sources (VCRs, segas, atari's, ect) on 15 different CRTs arranged in a wall configuration."

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi there. Interesting idea! Do the video streams have to be live? Meaning: Does the VCR signal have to come from an actual VCR and the Atari from an Atari? Or do you want them to be pre-recorded video signals? In the first case, you might just want to attach each screen to its individual source - loads of cables, but seems to be the easiest. For the second version you can use Ventuz as a media server. The setup of the pixelspace might be a little intricate, but it should be possible. For more detailed comments, please post your inquiry on the Ventuz forum at forum.ventuz.com.

[@catholiccontriversy]

Thank-you. I would want to do live, but if I had to do pre-recorded just to get the effect I'll go with it. As I get closer to getting the set-up I'll post to the forum.

[@amirulidzham3686]

Hi good video, I have a question, how about we combine that 4 tv into 1 giant monitor with another one tv monitor. It means 4 giant monitor + 1 mini monitor. Is it possible to configure that?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Amirul. It is possible to configure anything you can come up with, as long as it includes displays, projectors, LED panels and the like. Browse our website for some interesting ideas: www.ventuz.com/showcases

[@arnoldsliepins2058]

So why not use 1 big screen or a projector?

[@theskeletonboi]

Arnolds Liepins Well... having multiple monitors allows for flexibility, each monitor can be used individually, and together by choice. I have seen this used many times in public, a movie theater near me, has many TV monitors set up an array, to serve as a menu for the products being sold, after a couple of seconds all the screens turn into a single very-wide monitor spanning some sort of personalized action clip advertising the movie theater name.

[@enbasswuhan4989]

+theskeletonboi quite smart reply,well done!

[@gotDesign]

this can be done with software without the use of multiple screen... like digital menu that has the menu on one side and the other is a non stop ad running

[@wahab_chohan]

if broken then you will have to buy a new TV. but here you have to replace only 1 part.

[@obvious_humor]

Arnolds Liepins scalability.

[@lonibrock4798]

But! What is the cost!!! Looks super sweet!

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Loni, pricing depends heavily on what you want to do. If you want to get more info, contact [e-mail]. Cheers!

[@hafizstark]

hey, hello i have one computer, with 3 graphic cards (w600 amd firepro) plugged into it each card has 6 mini display output my question is, can i use vertuz to setup a 4x4 video wall?

[@VentuzTechnology]

+Hafiz Mokhtar Sorry for the late reply. Ventuz does not support more than one graphic card per computer. You would have to use several machines and set them up in a cluster. Here is how you do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnybp6CjgatkjKs

[@willdickerson8655]

What do I need to buy so that I can do just the monitor software part? I need to be able1 to configure 6 TVs from 1 computer.

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Will. Our software might be a little too much for you. You can start with buying a professional graphics card with six outputs, like an AMD FirePro W9100. The AMD Eyefinity technology will help you to set up your six screens without any additional software needed at full resolution.

[@AlvinC-sz3li]

Is this need software support? Since my OS is ubuntu, and software on it is really bad.

[@VentuzTechnology]

+Meng Cao As a directX based software, Ventuz only runs on Windows. But if you have a Windows PC and want to try it our, feel free to download the personal learning edition - full functionality, render output is watermarked. www.ventuz.com

[@jjinger]

what were the monitors that were being used?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi John. Nothing fancy, some 24" LG screens, as far as I remember. You are free to use any kind of monitor you want.

[@FrancescoMari1]

which hardware have you used to mux the monitors?

[@VentuzTechnology]

+Francesco Mari No extra hardware needed. This is all handled through the AMD Eyefinity graphics card drivers and the Ventuz render setup.

[@will3460]

can you watch different football games at one time with this set up?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi carmelo dog. Ventuz is a software for professional presentations and large event installations, not so much for home entertainment. This multiscreen setup is just one of the many features of Ventuz, not its central purpose.

[@ratmdex]

Where can I find a velcro wall like that? I Can't find them ANYWHERE

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi there. We actually created that ourselves out of ply wood and high-quality velcro that you buy in most any hardware store. Make sure that you get industry standard velcro and screens that are rather lightweight.

[@ratmdex]

Is it a big sheet of velcro? The only size I see of velcro online is small strips. If you have any links to something online, I'd greatly appreciate it

[@VentuzTechnology]

Nope, we used strips of heavy duty velcro. Lots and lots of them. Remember, this is our lab. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just needs to work.

[@ratmdex]

Ah, ok. Thanks for the idea then

[@johnervinmayo4480]

can I us this video wall as a preview window for vmix? a video processing software? thanks in advance

[@VentuzTechnology]

+John Ervin Mayo You could, but Ventuz might not be the tool of choice for this task. If you want to know more, please post your question in the Ventuz Forum at forum.ventuz.com.

[@jiveturkeymags]

Hasn't Windows 10 and USB video cards made this product obsolete? I've seen something like 12 screeens running in HD off of an Intel NUC using a bunch of USB2.0 hubs

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Fernando. Please note that Ventuz is a complete real-time content creation and playout suite. Multi-screen setup is only one of the features that helps event specialists to bring their content on large video walls. Can you find the video or article you are referring to and post the link here? It would be interesting to know whether they are spreading one HD over 12 screens or actually running the wall at 12 times HD from one video card.

[@jiveturkeymags]

14 screens for one desktop across all screens. They have a 4k one too that goes for 50 bucks. I am going to be using these for a client in the next few weeks for a touchscreen video wall.

[@jiveturkeymags]

I see the value of your software, but for just putting together a permanent video wall, it's overkill. Most people just wanna play powerpoints and videos on them.

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Fernando, absolutely agreed. There are simpler and cheaper solutions for simple video walls than Ventuz. If you want to go more sophisticated though, regarding real-time content, design and data driven graphics, Ventuz offers the full package including the video wall setup. Thanks for your input.

[@calebjorgensen4758]

Why not just get a 42" TV?

[@wahab_chohan]

if broken then you will have to buy a new 42 TV. but here you have to replace only 1

[@xMegaVideos]

This is a demo with small 20" screens. You can make a setup with 12 50" tv's to make a massive display.

[@stephenbuchholz3079]

Can you set up the screens to broadcast independent windows and combine them for a presentation?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Stephen, you can most certainly set up your content with different windows that show things like live or non-live video, or anyting that comes from a capture card. For detailed information, please visit the forum at forum.ventuz.com or check out the Ventuz user manual.

[@mkschreder]

These are the ugliest screens ever but great idea. I need to find screens with no border at all.

[@fabiomota6287]

[@vinieboy66]

Quite tricky... lets just buy a 130 inch flatscreen >:(

[@theskeletonboi]

Baka Ch I know right... how do people not understand... this isn't about size.....

[@wahab_chohan]

130 inch very hard to move from one place to another

[@obvious_humor]

Baka Ch From a resolution in arc-minutes standpoint, sure it's better and more density meaning you can get closer and still have indistinguishable quality, but also the closer you get means the more bezels become visible and ugly ruins the effect.

[@toddmateo9130]

to much work ill stick with my projector

[@szabolcsmate5254]

Or you could buy 12 130" flatscreens ;)

[@nidigrafx]

where can i get the velcro wall?

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Nikko, we made the wall ourselves with plywood and the common velcro. Be sure to use the strongest kind of velcro and light screens.

[@svenmatern]

OMG. So Muth Hardware and just a small wall

[@theskeletonboi]

If you don't understand the benefits of having multiple screens, this section of KZbin just isn't for you.... (It's not about size....)

[@dylanstephens867]

insane

[@gotDesign]

A 65” 1080p LED TV Will do a better job, would use less current, no messy cable and no split distraction and WAAYYYYYY more cheaper than all this stuff

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Max. It is a matter of how large you want to go. Some of our clients have created video walls of 30 by 15 meters and more. But if a 65" screen is enough, we would certainly recommend it.

[@mirisoji8406]

the point is the possibilities this opens up! The size here is an example but it could be much much larger and have the ability to change the monitors around artistically. Very cool!

[@terrymummery6377]

Only if you are considering using the video wall in your home or at a pinch a large room. Consider the situation where you wish to display images in a stadium where the audience are at a distance of perhaps several hundreds meters from the screen or when you are in a very large concert hall again the audience could be many meters from the screen, a 65" screen would be lost in that environment.

[@frkzoid]

C'mon, 65" TVs are still too expensive back in 2013. I have 4 x 24" screens. I want 4 x 42" but I have no room at the moment.

[@IWANTTOBEANIME]

would take off the plastic edges on all screens so you dont get that black bar between each screen lol

[@shanel3rannan]

Are you talking about the bezels?

[@IWANTTOBEANIME]

yes i made that comment befor i figured out what it was lolz

[@robomanism]

#cgroute they're using display port not vga save they're monitors

[@HK33E17516]

Can you show different videos into each screen? I have a 3x3 videowall for a CCTV solution, I have 8 NVR and I must show one NVR per each screen

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi there! It is possible to set your Ventuz project up to do just that, although there might be easier solutions than Ventuz if that is all you want to do. For details, please ask the community on forum.ventuz.com or contact our support team at [e-mail].

[@mickjdee]

Couldn't you just use fewer larger screens? also couldnt you just us one machine with 2 x those pice cards :D

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Michael. Please view this video as an example setup. Some of our clients use many more screens for much larger installations. Of course, using larger screens and less machines is always preferable - less opportunity for errors and malfunctions.

[@mickjdee]

Ahhhh ok i see, did not think about that. Makes alot of sense now :)

[@cgroute]

where have you plugged the vga cables of all televisions?

No point in doing this if you can't have one large screen.

[@VentuzTechnology]

Actually, this feature is quite popular with many companies in the event industry. Here is one example. www.ventuz.com/showcases/telstra-shows-ventuz

[@AcidicTom2258]

or you could just use a projector :)

[@pharohbender]

+Acidic Tom AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA brilliant!!! XD

[@i124qx]

Really - once i saw the cables --- i switched off

[@VentuzTechnology]

Each Screen gets its own DP Signal... since it is a displaywall of 4 Screens per machine x3 ..you got 12 cables...

[@tommyboy0520]

I disliked, because he’s replacing names like nvidia 1070 with his stupid brand. There are programs to do this but he’s not disclosing any of that info. And I bet he charges way to much for this crap.

[@VentuzTechnology]

Hi Thomas, we are sorry that this video is confusing. Ventuz of course does not replace Nvidia graphics cards, Ventuz is just a software. We are not using Nvidia in this video, but AMD graphics cards, but you can use Nvidia if you prefer. There are of course other software tools with which to create multiscreen setups. This is just one functionality of our real-time graphics software Ventuz that we wanted to explain in this video.

[@VMGMultiTracks]

Why isn't he just using one computer to run all of those monitors? All you need is one unit with two Eyefinity cards.

[@VentuzTechnology]

We are using two machines to demo scalability. Many of our customers create massive multi-display video walls and need to cluster machines.

[@philn9813]

Ventuz Technology Can you provide info on the fastening system used here? thanks!

[@VentuzTechnology]

Phil N This is simply velcro stuck to the wall and the monitors. Not fancy, but it serves the porpose.

[@philn9813]

Certainly. Thanks!

[@dopiepanda]

+Ventuz Technology That's genius! Do you have an estimated max weight for the screens this is possible to do with?

[@jesseturner2447]
