Quorum Wall

A Virtual Matrix software module that runs on dedicated PCs and can be controlled by Quorum View or used as a standalone solution. Quorum Wall enables the user to view IP video streams on multiple video panes, providing security operators with increased flexibility, and access to network video 24/7. Multiple Video Walls can be connected to the IP network, enabling centralized management with 25 displayed streams of video per module.

Key Benefits

• Support for IP video streams from over 20 different manufacturers
• Wide range of video pane layout options
• Automated motion-event driven display mode
• Controlled either as a standalone product, or from within the Quorum Pro management suite
• Accessible via a standard web browser.

Technology
Quorum Wall supports IP video streams from different camera and encoder manufacturers, offering high performance decoding of MJPEG, MPEG4, H.264, MxPEG, MPEG2, and Wavelet: ADV601 and ADV202 (JPEG-2000).

Flexible
Quorum Wall also offers a wide range of video pane layout options. A simple user interface allows users to switch easily from single view through to 5x5 view.
Possibly the most flexible viewing option is a motion-event driven mode, where video feeds are displayed, hidden and the layout managed automatically, ensuring operators are presented with surveillance-worthy viewing at all times.

Control

• Easy drag and drop mechanism to view live video and recordings.
• In addition, Quorum Pro or any of the Codestuff-based management suites on the market can be used to control Quorum Wall

What you need to get started

Direct-3D hardware support and Microsoft Direct-X 9.0c or above
Quorum Wall depends heavily on the PC's graphics sub-system. To perform well, the graphics sub-system must be capable of hardware accelerated Direct 3D rendering of multiple surfaces.

Net framework and .Net Managed Direct-X. Installed
Quorum Wall uses Microsoft's .Net Framework to provide high levels of application robustness, security and efficiency. Quorum Wall automatically downloads the necessary .Net Framework 3.5 components when setting up the Video Wall server.
