The Tekniska Verken plant centralizes its control room information with a collaborative video wall

Configured by 18 Philips Ultra Narrow Bezel monitors 55 inches, The video wall is managed with the Trenton TVC4403 control system, which includes 6 Mura MPX-4/4 cards. Matrox capture and display cards enable the utility to centralize and share critical data from 70 different facilities.

Tekniska Verken is a regional utility company, located in the lake country (Sweden), ranging from electricity and water services to waste management. En la planta KV1 de Linköping, The control room includes a large video wall of 18 screens with technology Matrox MPX wall that captures and displays data from 70 different facilities. Employees only have to drag and drop the information for it to be displayed on the collaborative video wall and share it simultaneously with the rest of the operators..

Before installation, Employees had to walk from one workstation to another to search for data relating to the different controls and operations of this public service company.. If any emergency situation occurred, the activity and movement of employees in the control room increased, which negatively affected the flow and efficiency of work. To centralize information, Teknisa Verken contact the systems integration company Office-X AB.

To carry out the project, a control system was chosen Trenton TVC4403, Matrox approved, which includes six controller cards for the Mura MPX-4/4 video wall and integrates four outputs and four Full HD inputs on the same PCIe x16 card. This configuration is powerful enough to power the video wall in the control room. 18 exits 6×3 composed of monitors Philips Ultra Narrow Bezel de 55 inches, con 24 different inputs for video streams, relevant data and alarm lists.

Mura MPX cards feature a comprehensive design that combines inputs and outputs, and provides passive cooling for increased reliability and longer life. Combined with Matrox MuraControl video wall management software for Windows, was shown as the most optimal combination of hardware and software for this project, according to Kontor-X AB.

“MuraControl facilitates the management and control of each of the 24 different sources. The ability to create, Saving and changing the different video wall settings has proven to be especially useful during shift changes.. After a quick installation, we are now looking at how to integrate Mura MPX in the future, particularly in control room environments”, North explained.

In addition to integrating the inputs and outputs on the same card, Mura's multi-function design makes it easy to share videos, signal conversion, scaling and deinterlacing of all components from a single card, eliminating the need for different solutions and reducing installation costs.

In the end, It was the comprehensive feature set and cost-effectiveness of this solution that led Kontor-X AB to select Mura MPX hardware and MuraControl software., that they have covered from the video wall.

Mura MPX Series controller cards are the foundation for a high-performance, scalable installation that meets even the most demanding system integrator requirements.. Thanks to high definition outputs and inputs, It is the key in the assembly of any installation, from small scale single card presentation systems to large scale multi card configurations for use in control rooms or as digital signage. New fanless models eliminate background noise and strengthen reliability levels.
