Datapath deploys its technology at the Hong Kong Navy Training Center

Five video wall controllers, twenty-five capture cards and ten graphics cards, along with powerful processors and software, all of Datapath, make up this simulation structure to train officers.

Datapath's visual solutions engineers have worked hard to offer a complete and varied technological proposal to the Hong Kong Navy Department Training Center (Marine department training centre), that has supplied Mindstec, your distributor and technical support partner in Asia, to train future officers in the professional maritime sector.

Located in the Chinese government shipyard on Stonecutters Island, This center has traditional conference rooms equipped with AV systems to facilitate learning, as well as classrooms with advanced simulation systems to train students in situations that are as realistic as possible., as if they were on board a ship.

To have the latest advances in simulation technology, The center has renewed its previous video wall projection and display systems, as well as their management and control software, by new equipment of higher quality and with a faster response time.

The choice has been the technology developed by Datapath that has integrated Media-Go Engineering, with video wall configuration with five VSN controllers from this manufacturer, which have been installed on three training bridges and additional instructor rooms.

Added to this are twenty-five VisionDVI/RGB/HD capture cards with four channels each; ten four-port ImageDP4 graphics cards with DVI adapters; multiple processors and four licenses of Datapath videowall control software.

One of the most sophisticated applications in this project has been the creation of a high-end video wall from LG, no edge fusion, and 270° visualization to simulate scenarios on the bridge of a modern ship using high-resolution animations. Thanks to Datapath VSN drivers, Operators can easily manage content and simulations that are displayed seamlessly on multiple screens.

In total, The video wall is made up of fifteen screens 55 inches, which are controlled with a VSN970 system, equipped with RPSU (redundant power supply unit) y 16 GB of memory. Four VisionHD4 capture cards and four ImageDP4/DVI graphics cards are also used, all from Datapath.

Added to this simulation technological infrastructure are Barco's projection systems and AV Stumpfl mapping and automatic calibration systems..
