The version 8.0 from Hiperwall adds HiperCast Pull, a solution that simplifies configurations of HiperCast (that connects Hiperwall video wall systems no matter where in the world they are located), and allows content to be shared between the various video walls of an organization, without any network or server changes.

“HiperCast Pull was created with direct feedback from several customers,” Jenks emphasizes.. Many large organizations with multiple video walls, connected to very high security networks, need to share content between their various locations. Instead of going through the network firewall by port forwarding to each Hiperwall system, we simplify the process by telling drivers to pull content from the HiperCast server, which reduces security risks”.

Users now have a HiperCast Pull button at the bottom of the sources tab that, after clicking, gives access to a video wall menu on the network to connect and, later, select which sources require to be available, reducing the clutter of unnecessary content sources.
