Scalable Display Technologies, a leading provider of software for
multi mega-pixel displays, today announced that VDC Display
Systems, a division of Video Display Corporation (NASDAQ: VIDE)
will be delivering a series of video walls for the U.S. Navy with a
customized version of Scalable's EasyBlend software as a core piece
of the system architecture. The program, titled Aegis Multi-Mission
Display System (MMD), represents the largest bulk order for a
command and control application in Scalable's history.
VDCDS, which specializes in the design and manufacturing of
projection based systems for simulation and training, was tasked by
Lockheed Martin to develop the MMD system for deployment in the
Combat Information Centers on-board Aegis destroyers as well as in
the labs of the Aegis Ashore program. The objective of the program
was to provide a single continuous display of resolution far
exceeding HD in an easily maintained and robust configuration. The
visual system was required to meet U.S. Naval MIL specifications
for shipboard operation and safety.
The challenging environments presented by U.S. Naval
applications resulted in the utilization of VDCDS ruggedized LED
Marquee SSL7000HD Projectors that are custom high resolution
cameras plus Scalable auto-calibration solution tailored for a
Linux based system.
"Our partnership with Scalable has been great. Pairing our
projectors and system design capabilities with Scalable's software
approach to multi mega-pixel displays and innovative team has
opened up new market opportunities," said Marcial Vidal, President
of VDC Display Systems. "The Aegis program is a great example of
how Scalable in partnership with VDC Display Systems are changing
the limits of what's possible in ultra high resolution visual
systems."
The MMD System consists of four VDCDS ruggedized LED Marquee
SSL7000HD, a pair of high resolution cameras for calibration, and a
customized version of Scalable Display's patented EasyBlend
software. The application has been "Scalable Enabled" through
Scalable's SDK. The projectors were configured in a 1x4 layout for
a Quad-HD seamless 42" high by 267"wide (3.5' x 23') wall.
"We at Scalable are gratified to have been selected as the
calibration technology for this program, and to have the
opportunity to support our sailors," said Andrew Jamison, CEO of
Scalable Display Technologies. "The inclusion of our system in this
program is a prime example of the growing need for multi-megapixel
display solutions in which Scalable plays a critical role."
Scalable Display Technologies will be showcasing at the I/ITSEC
show, November 28 - December 1 in Orlando, Florida. Booth
#2953.
