Can you imagine how noisy and cold it must be to sit in a hall like that?

KVM. If you connect a computer to each of these monitors, people will die! 

We downloaded this fictional image from the Internet, although some people have seen something similar on TV, in the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Here's a little secret: all those computers are only turned on when journalists visit. And according to insiders, the noise becomes unbearable. Not to mention the powerful cooling required in such setups.

Of course, for the video wall itself, the hardware can be moved to a separate server room—but that requires special installation. What’s most frustrating is that all those powerful video servers with multi-headed NVIDIA graphics cards still produce glitchy video. The PC architecture simply isn’t designed for high-channel-count video streaming, so we constantly see jittery video walls with lag, stuttering, and visual artifacts.

That’s just how personal computer architecture works—it’s always caching something, getting distracted by internal processes, with a single CPU trying to juggle dozens of threads at once, which it was never designed for.

All these problems—and more—are solved with video blazers running the VIDEOWALL program:

And let’s be clear: it’s dozens of times cheaper than building out PC-based video servers.

Blazers decode H.264/265 video in hardware using a dedicated chip—specifically for H.264/265. That means: no lag, no glitches, no artifacts.

Each blazer can handle up to 16 IP video streams. Plus, they support dual HDMI outputs for redundancy. That’s more than enough channels for a single monitor to view multiple camera feeds.

And the best part? No noise at all! These devices have no moving parts. Even a single PC has at least one fan in the power supply, one on the case, one per GPU… Multiply that by a hundred and you’ve got the acoustic profile of a fighter jet runway.

No cooling required! These units produce very little heat—even with zero fans.

Video blazers come with built-in neural network chips capable of recognizing even complex objects. They also include logic for responding to defined situations. Blazers automatically generate alert clips and send them to the Operations Panel.

Video blazers consume little power.

Video blazers require minimal configuration.

Video blazers can be managed remotely.

Full-featured web interface and client software for both Windows and Linux.

As for routing video streams to dedicated monitors on the fly, you can still use a PC for that. Even a basic one will do, since its only task is to remap network addresses to redirect video streams.

Of course, any standard KVM switch can be used for switching, since the Videoblazer has the same outputs for monitors (up to three), a mouse, and a keyboard. However, it’s simply more convenient to design and manage the site layout using a PC. 

The SpesLab-TeamVideo module allows you to route any camera feed to any operational monitor, display a GIS map or graphical site plan, and interactively manage the current situation. 

It also includes “Attention!” operational panels for displaying video analytics events. Most importantly, the layout and design of any windows on the master monitor can be completely customized. All interface elements are movable and resizable.
