VSN970 Video Wall Controller

HIGH PERFORMANCE CONTROLLER

Datapath’s VSN970 wall controller provides a high end, powerful solution for complex video wall installations (or control rooms). Providing complete control over large control room environments from military installations to CCTV and security suites to medical operating theatres.

The VSN970 has been designed, developed and optimised to operate with the latest generation of Datapath’s world leading PCI Express graphics and video capture cards providing High Definition video and audio, including the capture of multiple HDCP sources for display across the entire video wall.

The use of PCIe switched fabrics, enables the VSN970 system to be expanded using additional backplanes within VSN900X chassis connected via the optional expansion kit.

INTEL® CORE i7 PROCESSOR

The VSN970 system incorporates the Datapath PCI Express9-G3 switched fabric backplane, providing 9 high bandwidth PCIe slots for use with any Datapath video capture or graphics card. Also providing further benefits with the Datapath’s SBC4, a single board computer featuring an Intel Core i7 processor with up to 16GB of DDR3 memory and on-board graphics.

The backplane provides a single x8 lane slot (8GB/s) and eight x4 lane slots (4GB/s) each providing high speed bi-directional bandwidth. Allows UHD video to be captured and then displayed on the video wall with very low latency.

Each system comes complete with high quality, server grade hard drives with RAID 1, preinstalled with Windows 7® Ultimate edition (64bit). Enhanced system cooling is achieved via 3 variable speed fans, and each system offers on-board SATA and USB ports.
