The Memotech MTX Series

MEMOTECH

     Multi-Effect Video Wall - Example 2

 

 

 

Technical Details

 
An example Video Wall configuration, based on the hardware that I bought off ebay in 2013 and my best guess of how it might have been assembled. As noted on my Video Wall photos page, I think that I have components from two different systems - this is the second one.
 
I think that it was a 8 x 8 Video Wall, using three Decoder/Distribution Amplifiers, 8 Distributed Digital Frame Stores, a Reflex Controller and a remote computer, which may, or may not, have been a Memotech MTX computer. (Later Video Wall systems could be controller by IBM PCs and compatibles.)
 
 
The 128 screen Video Wall installed in  the Olympia Centre, East Kilbride - then the largest Video Wall in Europe, would probably have been made up of double the equipment shown here. The central 64 screen portion of the Olympia display is shown above - click on the image to see the full 128 screen layout.
