Transforming Control Room Operations

Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), in collaboration with its sister company VuWall, is excited to introduce VisionVS—a compact dual-encoding appliance that revolutionizes control room operations by merging video wall visualization with KVM control into one cohesive solution. This innovative approach aims to simplify system integration, enhance deployment efficiency, and boost operational performance around the clock in high-demand control environments.

A Game-Changer for the Industry

Andreas Gerlach, EVP of Innovation at VuWall and G&D, stated: “VisionVS represents a major leap forward in control room technology. By combining VuWall’s exceptional video wall visualization capabilities with G&D’s renowned KVM expertise, we’re providing a solution that streamlines integration, speeds up deployments, and guarantees reliable 24/7 operations. It’s truly a game-changer for both integrators and end-users.”

Dual-Streaming for Optimal Performance

The VisionVS appliance merges G&D’s Vision KVM systems with VuWall’s VuStream IP encoding technology. It captures video from KVM sources and transmits two distinct streams simultaneously: a high-quality G&D bluedec stream directed to G&D KVM matrix systems, and a proprietary VuWall stream sent to PAK processors for video wall display, remote access, or operator stations. This dual-streaming capability guarantees pixel-perfect visuals with near-zero latency, while also allowing for efficient content sharing across remote locations. The outcome is a significant reduction in the necessary hardware, cabling, and components, streamlining the architecture of control rooms.

Technical Versatility

VisionVS is designed for versatility, supporting both fiber and copper connectivity. It features a DisplayPort DP1.1 input and loop-through HDMI 1.4 output, each capable of supporting resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 30Hz or 2560×1600 at 60Hz. Both encoded streams come with full encryption and maintain up to 4:4:4 color fidelity, ensuring high-quality visual output while minimizing bandwidth consumption.

Empowering Integrators and End-Users

By minimizing installation components and simplifying real-time signal distribution, VisionVS enables integrators to shorten project timelines and reduce long-term support costs. For end-users in mission-critical environments—such as emergency response centers, security operations, transportation hubs, and process control facilities—this solution provides immediate access to essential information through a more intuitive and responsive control room setup.

Setting New Standards

With VisionVS, G&D and VuWall are establishing a new benchmark for integrated control room systems, delivering a powerful, unified solution that meets the increasing demands for efficiency, flexibility, and reliability in today’s operational environments.
