Making A Videowall

Posted by michael on from the one-is-not-enough dept.

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."

    starving children aplenty, uneducated masses, and violence over religious differences, and they're messing with redhat to watch The Matrix. Way to utilize those funds!

    If you want to make a huge screen out of many smaller ones take the tubes out of the cabinets and get them closer together or find monitors with smaller bezels. I think they make monitors designed for those video walls in mind. Hate to say it but the picture sucks!

    OTHO for the right application, it is a clever hack.
