Planar® WallDirector™ Video Controller (VC) is a family of compact and scalable video processors designed to drive Planar video walls using the powerful web-based Planar® WallDirector™ Software management application.
Planar WallDirector VC is available in two models designed to meet the needs of different organizations' use cases. The 1U rack mount device captures multiple 4K inputs and drives the video wall at native resolution while providing signal extension over CAT or fiber connections. The Planar WallDirector VC is designed to work in conjunction with the Planar® Remote Power Supply, and the two mission-critical devices are managed, controlled and monitored within the same Planar® WallDirector™ Software framework.
Control of the Planar WallDirector VC is accomplished using the web-based WallDirector Software or through a comprehensive set of serial commands supporting RS232 or network connections. Planar WallDirector VC is also compatible with leading automation and control systems, allowing it to be managed as part of a larger room system.
Scalable by Design
Planar WallDirector VC models can be cascaded together with up to 18 Controllers to support larger video walls and higher resolutions. Planar WallDirector Software manages Planar WallDirector VC groups as if they are one system rather than multiple separate units. Additionally, Full HD or 4K sources can be shared across the video controllers and video walls via a DisplayPort 1.2 link that acts as a bus extension for any source rather than a limited loop out for a single input.
