Video wall software cost: what to budget
The query video wall software cost can't be answered by display count alone. For a control-room or NOC build, the video wall license cost depends on whether you run a hardware video processor or a software video wall controller, how many sources you ingest, IP-KVM, redundancy, and 24/7 operation.
- Craft Wall is a perpetual licence with no subscription and no per-display fee — €2,500 per server, first year of updates included.
- A pre-configured turnkey server (GPU, OS, Craft Wall installed) starts from €15,000, depending on resolution, source count, and redundancy.
To compare a hardware controller against a perpetual software licence over five years, use the video wall TCO calculator: it shows not just the sticker price but support, updates and the 5-year total cost of ownership.
