Technical description

  • Display: 16 (4x4) OLS521 BARCO cubes with ultra-thin bezels (less than 0.8mm) and active stereo
  • Size: 4.4m x 2.5m = 11 square meters
  • Resolution: 7680 x 4360 = 33,484,800 pixels
  • Display controller: four XDS 400 devices, combined with a windows display manager, supporting full-wall stereoscopic display and three other sources in windows for presentations, video, etc…
