Christie has released Hedra, a video wall processor that offers a secure, all-in-one control room solution that allows users to make quick and informed decisions with real-time access to data that can be controlled from almost anywhere.

Based on a Linux hardware system and with multi-view KVM, users can securely work remotely or centrally and easily switch between different on-screen layouts and configurations. With drag-and-drop interfaces and customised layouts, arranging and controlling information displayed on a video wall is user-friendly.

“Hedra is a secure, responsive, user-friendly and TAA-compliant control room solution,” Christie director of product management Bill Zhu says.

“With Hedra, users can display, arrange and operate up to 26 inputs from both baseband sources, including HDMI and IP sources, with latency-free operation.”

Hedra can deliver data up to four UHD displays and supports video walls up to 32 megapixels in configurations up to 8×2, so operators can make timely and collaborative decisions.

This control room-in-a-box is ideal for small to medium-sized applications including command and control rooms, security and surveillance, public utilities and operations where critical information needs to be displayed securely and in real-time.

Hedra is available in three models, the Hedra Standard, Hedra Pro-KVM and Hedra Pro-Video, with inputs ranging from nine on the Standard model to 26 on the Pro-Video model.
