eyevis is the established DACH-region video-wall brand, acquired by Leyard in 2018. Their eyeUNIFY web-based wall management software targets the same control rooms, board rooms, and crisis rooms as Craft Wall — but inside the Leyard display ecosystem and with a quote-only pricing model.
What eyevis does
eyeUNIFY is a web-based control surface for video walls, designed for control rooms, board rooms, and crisis rooms. Since the 2018 Leyard acquisition the product is positioned alongside Leyard / eyevis LED display panels (EPU-300 and successors), making it a natural fit for customers already buying the bundled display + software offer. Strong DACH and EMEA channel via Leyard's regional offices. Public pricing is not listed — the vendor routes every deal through Leyard partners or direct sales.
Where Craft Wall is different
- Transparent pricing. Craft Wall is €2,500 perpetual flat, no quote dance. eyeUNIFY is quote-only — every deal goes through a partner, every spec a new negotiation.
- No display ecosystem lock-in. Craft Wall runs on any commodity Linux + GPU and drives any LCD or LED wall. eyeUNIFY is positioned as part of the Leyard display + software bundle — most economical when paired with Leyard panels.
- Software-only deployment. Same Linux server hosts decode and composition — no proprietary controller appliance.
- Independent vendor. Craft Wall is an independent software product, not a feeder for a parent display business — roadmap decisions are not gated on display sales.
Where eyevis honestly wins
- DACH channel maturity. 20+ years of installations across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and wider EMEA via Leyard's regional presence.
- Bundle economics with Leyard LED. If the customer is already buying Leyard panels, the eyeUNIFY bundle pricing is competitive within that ecosystem.
- Reference customers in DACH government and industrial control rooms going back to the pre-Leyard eyevis era.

When eyevis is the better fit
Customers already standardised on Leyard / eyevis LED panels who want a single- vendor display + control bundle; DACH deployments where the local Leyard partner is already on a preferred-vendor list; control rooms requiring continuity with a pre-existing eyevis estate.
When Craft Wall is the better fit
Greenfield NOC / SOC builds where the display choice is open; deployments that want transparent pricing instead of a quote cycle; budgets that prefer a single perpetual licence over a bundled display + software CAPEX; teams that prefer an independent software vendor not gated on a parent display business.
