Making A Videowall
Ur@eus writes "Zeeshan Ali Khattak has made a videowall using Red Hat Linux, GStreamer and commodity hardware. The solution was made based on the need to create a flexible and cheap solution for use in Pakistani Schools and Universities using commodity hardware. To find out how this was done and some more details, and of course some cool pictures, check out the Video Whale project homepage."
For god sakes man
take those monitors out
of their cases. Put
Them closer together and
kill the funky spacing.
Jeebus Cripes! These guys whip up a Cool Hack(tm) with scrounged materials, make it work and add to the collective abilities of Gstreamer and all you have to say is 'it looks crappy'.
What a bunch of hypocrites. The fact that the monitors can be swapped out after a proof of concept, and that you've got the power of four CPU's available (Beo-mumble) is completely lost on you guys.
And I've figured there'd be at least ONE MPAA crack from somebody.

Ok, what if they used a cluster of 16 projectors? ;-)
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
Wire this thing poorly and you might just get yourself a Firewall.
So, basically it turns all actors into canadians.
"What's wrong with their heads?? It's ok, their canadian." (or something like that :)
Looks like they cant get those silly plastic bags off monitor cables in pakistan either.
What are they going to call a wall from the video whale project -- the Whaling Wall?
