Analog Way creates the world's largest synchronized pixel canvas

The stand of Analog Way in LEaT con 2024, which is being celebrated these days in Hamburg (Germany), does not leave anyone indifferent, when synchronizing a canvas 530 pixels, the largest of its kind, powered by four Aquilon Cmax video processors and four Picturall Pro Mark II servers.

The participation of Analog Way in LEaT con 2024 (stand J6-1 and 2) is marked by an innovative canvas, of 62Kx8K (with an active resolution of 61.440×8.640p), configured with 64 smart signage screens Samsung UHD, that are connected through cables HDMI y DisplayPort Lindy to four video processors Aquilon Cmax (all connected to each other) and four multimedia servers Picturall Pro Mark II from this manufacturer.

Visitors can see on the canvas exclusive content created by Render Impact y Lang AG, Analog Way distributor. A pioneering project that has been carried out for this event fair to show the innovative possibilities of ProAV technology.

Distributed in four rows, 64 Samsung Smart digital signage displays are connected to create a single canvas of almost 16 meters long and 2,22 high, to offer a total of 530 megapixels, the largest so far in the world of its kind.

In this Analog Way project to create the largest canvas of synchronized pixels at this scale, actuated by a composition switch system, Lang AG and other partners such as the Samsung subsidiary in Germany have collaborated, Lyndy Germany, LEaT with and Render Impact.

“Creating such a monumental installation is not an easy task,” Lang AG points out.. Not only does it require powerful next-generation video technology, but also the experience necessary to guarantee flawless operation. In LEaT with 2024, Analog Way brings both things together, producing a spectacle that the world has never seen on this scale and with such duration”.

As explained by Lang AG, what exactly is needed to sync 530 megapixels and design a canvas of this magnitude? First of all, the right content: if 62Kx8K images are displayed, it needs to be created to those exact specifications.

In this case, the total image has a aspect ratio 64:9 and a resolution of 61,440×8.640p, a challenge that this facility has overcome with precision, plus powerful and reliable hardware.

Next, the image is uploaded to four Analog Way Picturall Pro Mark II media servers, which are responsible for both the processing and reproduction of images. The huge 62Kx8K image is divided into four smaller sections, each with a resolution of 15,360×8.640p.

And genlock generator synchronize media servers, ensuring all video sources are perfectly aligned across the entire screen. To increase reliability, a fifth Picturall Pro Mark II server handles additional picture-in-picture content (picture in picture) and serves as a backup.

From media servers, content is sent to four Analog Way Aquilon CMAX video processors, that take advantage of the function Aquilon Linking and manage the outputs to the screens.

The content of each media server is divided into sixteen 4K outputs, which offers a total of 64 outputs on all four processors and ensures that each 4K display receives its own dedicated part of the image.

Los Linked CMAX processors also handle live inputs, overlays such as PiP content and fifth media server backup sources, acting as a central hub for all video data before it reaches the screens.

Finally, the content reaches the 64 pantallas Samsung UHD Smart Signage, each of them running at 4K60 and forming a single continuous canvas, with a total resolution of 61,440×8.640p, the result of which is a very detailed image that extends across all screens, creating the world's largest pixel canvas powered by a system of synchronized image processing.

Each aspect of this configuration is designed for a Smooth, ultra-low latency operation, ensuring that each of the 530 millions of pixels are perfectly aligned and synchronized.

“This project is more than a technical marvel: is a testament to what happens when creativity meets innovation. Analog Way, with the support of Lang, has set a new standard for what is possible with synchronized displays, proving that the future of ProAV is not only big, but brilliantly clear and beautifully executed.”.
