HEADWALL VR
What is this...
Headwall is a command center video wall virtualized in augmented reality. The Headwall system connects to a traditional command center head end and utilizes SSL encrypted IP streaming video and control data over the WAN. Video sources are routable to virtual displays in the VR/AR environment.
The system works identically to your existing command center with one exception. Instead of requiring operators to physically sit in the command center, operators can access and manipulate data on the video wall anywhere in the world via a head-mounted AR or VR display.
WHY
Command and Control: Headwall provides the opportunity for large utilities, enterprise and government, to replicate the functionality of a large control room video wall with a virtual reality headset, using a computer with compatible GPU. Video wall content is displayed virtually within the headset and console and control capability typically enabled by a touchpanel and control system is replicated by the software application. The software application allows for control of hardware including video matrix switches, image processing, camera control and USB HID. The form factor of a headset means the setup can be accomplished remotely, keeping personnel out of harm’s way. Content is secured using AES encrypted SRT and is compatible with Type 1 NSA approved encryption devices.
Security and Surveillance: Headwall allows security command centers to replicate the functionality of a large watchfloor in the form factor of a single computer and head-mounted display. Surveillance camera inputs can hit the same headend but the monitors and controls are all replaced by head mounted displays and software applications. Headwall also replicates the hardware functionality which means those cameras, switches, IoT devices and encoders can be controlled from within the VR application.
Financial Data Visualization: Financial data visualization can be accomplished without the need of many monitors. Realtime video streams can be routed to the virtual center just as they could in a multiple monitor terminal setup. This means a trader or analyst can view the same amount of information remotely without a large hardware footprint. Complex financial office setups can be replicated in a hotel room or any other remote location with sufficient bandwidth.
how…
Video outputs from your existing command center AV infrastructure are connected the Headwall system. Video is then converted to SRT streams and decoded in a VR environment as full-motion 4K video streams.
Headwall passed through full control of source routing, video wall layouts, display positioning, KVM routing, camera PTZ control, and audio breakaway to the virtualized environment. Content is delivered over the WAN in a secure encrypted stream.

configurations
Headwall can work either as an exact virtual copy of your existing real-world command center video wall or as a discrete independently routable extension of your video wall.
