Video wall management software on Linux

Craft Wall turns a standard Linux server with an NVIDIA GPU into a video wall controller. Explore its functions, real stand recordings and the checks needed for your configuration.

Perpetual licence: €2,500 per server. Capacity depends on the GPU, video outputs and source workload.

Updated:

Control your sources from one console

Cameras, web dashboards, RDP/VNC, NDI, HDMI/SDI capture, conferences, documents and video share the wall. Work with your sources in the browser console.

Connect RTSP/RTMP/HLS/SRT cameras, NDI, HDMI/SDI capture, web pages, RDP/VNC, SIP/H.323 conferences, documents, video files and OSD. Check actual formats and access permissions before sizing the server.

Control the wall from a laptop or tablet

Open the browser console to add sources and switch layouts. Multiple operators work with the same wall without installing a desktop client.

Multiple operators can use the browser console. During the demonstration, review your laptop or tablet workflow and agree which users should access each source and scene.

Arrange source windows on the video wall

Move and resize windows in the editor. The physical wall applies the new geometry when you release the mouse.

The editor sets window geometry on the canvas. A dragged position is applied to the wall when the mouse is released; check dashboard legibility from the operator's working position.

Save layouts and switch scenes

Prepare layouts for monitoring, incidents or meetings. Save them as scenes and select the one your operators need.

A scene saves a prepared layout for a task. Prepare separate scenes for routine monitoring, shift handover and incident review, then check them against the sources your team uses.

Switch scenes on schedules and alarms

Use schedules for routine layout changes and alarm scenarios for incidents. The recording shows the switch to the alarm scene.

Use schedules and alarm scenarios to change the information displayed. Agree the event trigger, target scene, acknowledgement process and recovery checks with an engineer.

Run video analytics on the server GPU

Display video analytics alongside cameras and dashboards. Processing runs on the server GPU.

Analytics uses the server's GPU resources. Sizing depends on camera resolution, frame rate and the selected analytics workload, as well as source count.

Source formats

RTSP, RTMP, HLS, SRT, NDI and HDMI/SDI capture; web pages, documents, video and RDP/VNC.

Access control

SSO, MFA, RBAC and LDAP for operator access and permissions.

Hot standby

Plan a standby server for deployments that require redundancy.

Conferences and overlays

SIP/H.323 conferencing sources, OSD labels and scrolling tickers.

Requirements

Actual capacity depends on the server hardware. Display count and resolution depend on its GPU and video outputs.

Choose the configuration for the source formats, display resolution and redundancy your project needs.
