it works
  • A shared picture

    Bring permitted information into view.

  • Access by role

    Separate viewing, wall layouts and USB control.

  • Designed for people

    Plan around operators and working positions.

  • Room to develop

    Agree capacity and the next stage early.

A shared operational view

Two operators continue working on their own computers while the team sees four agreed information sources on a shared wall. Their two PCs are included in the four-source count.

Wall composition

4 capture channels; layouts chosen by an authorised user.

Four separate panel feeds form the shared wall.

Separate control roles

Local computer work and wall layout control are separate. Recalling a wall scene does not take over an operator’s PC.

What we need to demonstrate

Read four real sources, recall routine/incident layouts and identify source loss while local work continues Verify the agreed protected loads, configuration restore and defined failure behaviour.

Handover evidence: Content/readability record, preset list and recovery observations Power schedule, restore record and a list of remaining single points of failure.

These are planned project checks. The reference configuration has not passed physical system acceptance.

HDMI and USB connect to six encoders. Source LANs stay separate.

Distribution

Managed AV network

One switch carries media, authorised USB and control.

Two paths from this AV network

Operators

4 operator desks

One receiver, powered USB hub and monitor per desk. One selected PC.

2 sources on the wall

Two wall receivers → compositor → four LCD panels. Video only.

Who can view, and who can control?

The access controller verifies the route and grants one USB owner per PC. Other authorised users may view. Wall-layout rights never grant USB control.

03 · Scope & limits

What is included. What needs agreement.

System composition

Six source PCs, two desk monitor/keyboard/mouse sets, one compositor with seven simultaneous capture channels and two independently composed outputs, one LED display package, one conferencing PC with its own control monitor, one PTZ camera and SDI-to-USB capture, one HDMI-to-USB programme capture, two wired microphone zones, one echo-cancelling audio processor, one amplifier and two room loudspeakers. A control panel, management switch, conferencing service and installation/power infrastructure support the system.

What we need to demonstrate

Show the local wall and a different outgoing view; change the incoming call; speak from both microphone zones and the remote endpoint Verify the agreed protected loads, configuration restore and defined failure behaviour.

Handover evidence: Call test record, outgoing-source allowlist and audio/video loop checks Power schedule, restore record and a list of remaining single points of failure.

These are planned project checks. The reference configuration has not passed physical system acceptance.

Discuss this option · CR-03

04 · From brief to handover

Agree the workflow before choosing the hardware.

The final design needs your source list, access rules, viewing positions and IT requirements. Software and interfaces are verified within an agreed scope.

  1. 01

    Scope and architecture

    Agree operators, shifts, sources and simultaneous views. Record control rights, sharing boundaries and required availability. Select the configuration.

  2. 02

    Design and approval

    Issue wall and desk layouts, signal and control diagrams, source/permission matrices, network requirements and power/heat schedules. Define additional resilience where required.

  3. 03

    Selection and supply

    Confirm display, compositor, endpoints, capture and licence compatibility. Validate the critical KVM or conferencing workflow before releasing the final order.

  4. 04

    Installation and programming

    Install and label the system, connect approved sources, configure layouts and operator rights, and set up the selected software. Where CraftWall is selected, configure its approved sources, scenes and roles; test any specified alarm or identity integration.

  5. 05

    Commissioning and tests

    Run real operator tasks, denied-access checks, source changes and recovery tests. For CR-03, verify the remote picture and audio; test each duplicated path if resilience is included.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Train operators and administrators. Deliver as-built diagrams, source/permission schedules, configuration backups, test results and an agreed maintenance and recovery procedure.
