Building video walls has long been a heavy-lifting project. Not only precise expertise were required for a very finicky AV portion of the set-up but heavy construction muscle was a must for the install. Walls often needed to be reinforced, special mounting brackets created and the in some cases full reno permits were required.
Thankfully the new SamsungID video wall solution at least removes the hardware complexity for those installs that can be deployed w/in 2ft of floor-level. (In other words a jumbotron-like video wall is still a huge undertaking to install, but in-window, floor display and most common configurations are now a breeze.)
Now one comment would be that despite Samsung's promise to solve the video wall problem with their own software and a 'single cable to connect' that has been slightly oversimplified. Even Samsung's high-priced UD software (also available from the OEM Hiperwal) isn't exactly single-cable or turnkey by any stretch of imagination.
In the end, although we would not encourage our customers to attempt to run this puppy via a single AV cable, we do really enjoy the new Lego-like ease of hardware install made possible with the SamsungID solution. Thank you!
