WHEREAS 2024: Userful adds seven innovations to its Infinity platform

In its strategy to improve enterprise AV technology over IP, Userful has developed seven innovations for Infinity that it will present during its participation in this contest.

The AV platform on IP Infinity of Userful, which was presented in the spring of 2023, now has seven “industry pioneering” innovations, as this manufacturer assures, that will be exhibited during its participation in WHEREAS 2024, of the 30 from January to 2 from February to Fira Barcelona Gran Via.

Userful Infinity provides a complete set of integrated AV applications, built on a centrally managed IT infrastructure, scalable and secure, that eliminates the complexities inherent in traditional audiovisual implementations and operates according to standards and protocols.

What's New in Userful Infinity

• Most advanced high-power audio/video processing engine yet

Userful has integrated the latest GPU from Nvidia, Ada Lovelace, with its Chronos video engine in Infinity. Benchmarking shows that this platform has up to two times the compute of its next closest competitor in AV and twenty-four times that of traditional AV hardware owners..

The Userful engine runs on unmatched maximum computing performance of 96 4K60FPS.

• First comprehensive 8K platform

Besides, Userful Engine can now offer 24 8K60FPS, unmatched coding in the industry. The company has also announced its new uClient adapter with 8K performance, which is the first decoder of this enterprise class resolution.

This innovative pairing can add multiple sources into a single 8K stream, ready for delivery through 8K Led controllers and/or Led videowall and LCD screens with this resolution.

Through Userful's real-time aggregation technology, Creating a single 8K output enables deployment of the highest performance and lowest cost of the industry's most advanced control room and video walls.

As the company emphasizes, “less drivers, “fewer synchronization issues and maximum control through a software-defined architecture.”.

• First browser-based KVM software for operations centers

After several iterations and improvements in latency and security, Userful Formally Announces Its Operations Center KVM, uConduct 2.0, for advanced control rooms. Browser-based approach can be operated offline or online.

The new uConduct provides operators simplified workflows, while ensuring secure access and rlow latency performance (<100 ms depending on network design). Also offers enterprise-class security for most commercial deployments (non-military).

Moving to a soft KVM architecture allows customers to reduce their cost per operator by up to 75%, according to company data, as competitive offers require a separate application, which means additional service and maintenance, as well as additional hardware.

• Browser-based AV controls

The new uControl 2.0 by Userful enables both design and environmental change across the enterprise. At the touch of a button, it is possible to activate different layouts and fonts (audio/video) on different screens and rooms.

Scalability tests carried out by the company have confirmed compatibility with up to two hundred active screens and Led walls..

• Next Generation Audio Service Management

In association with Dante audio, Userful's AV engine becomes the first that can map a single audio source to many enterprise AV applications.

In this process, Userful has brought its source management expertise to the world of audio, allowing more effective and intuitive mapping of sources, including Dante integration.

• Tool for centralized IT management of distributed AV services

Global Cluster Manager (GCM) de Userful, the first private management system of its kind, is the only secure cloud-based solution yet for AV over IP deployments that offers distribution capabilities, monitoring and management.

Besides, Enables IT departments to efficiently monitor and scale the organization's AV over IP servers. As the company expands its infrastructure, GCM becomes indispensable, as it provides secure server management, distribution of resources and comprehensive monitoring throughout the organization.

This innovative approach ensures real-time visibility into facility growth through a unified control point, safeguarding confidential data throughout the process.

It is capable of managing up to 10 000 clusters, comprising up to five video engine servers per cluster, what it produces 50.000 servers for total computing of up to 10 millions of CPU cores and 400.000 GPU under management.

• Broadest software-based endpoint management in the industry

Userful supports endpoints running WebOS 4.1 and later versions, Android 12, Tizen and Novastar and Megapixel driver API management.

When deploying software clients at the edge, Userful can reduce the adapter hardware and decoder hardware and, at the same time, allows administrators to monitor and manage screens as nodes.

Management functions on the corporate network include display power management, scheduled update groups, peripheral locking and image quality management.
