Large display screens are best created and controlled by Vista Systems video processors. In order to fully enhance what you are displaying through one of Vista’s processors, such as the Spyder X20, the most optimal choice of display products are large display screens, such as LED Video Walls. Of course larger is better, but depending on the location and logistics of where your display will be located you want to have the large display screen be the correct scale to the space it will be in.

Many large display screens are actually made from multiple video screens. Using particular video screens that are made for creating larger screens you can build a custom large display screen to almost any size. There are other products that can be used to create custom large display screens as well. Vista’s parent company, Christie makes MicroTiles which are another high-quality display option. The Christie MicroTiles are a great choice for creating a custom large display screen because there is no limit to how many you can use to create your display and they create a picture perfect canvas to project your video, text, pictures or anything else you may display through your video processor. Other options of large display screens are LCD flat panel displays (similar to video screen options), LED-illuminated video wall cubes, and custom options like building your own design for large display screens. Christie also offers many of these types of large display screen options, and these types of display screens are compatible with Vista Systems video processors.

Large display screens can be found in a multitude of locations. If you have ever been to a concert or a sporting event you have probably seen a large display screen, such as an LED video wall. In venues such as arenas where concerts and sporting events take place the size of the display screen can be very large. In most cases the arena will have permanently installed large display screens for the sports team, and then the concert video production team will bring in additional large display screens for the concert set up. During sporting events the large display screen might also be referred to as a jumbotron. During a concert large display screens are usually found on the sides of the stage, projecting larger images and videos of the performer on stage.

Other places you’ll find large display screens are outdoor billboards, airports, stock markets and agencies, universities, trade shows, boardrooms, hospitals, outdoor sports venues, churches, museums, TV news sets, retail outlets and more. Vista Systems processors can also be found powering large display screens in many venues such as the ones listed above. The video processors that Vista builds are some of the industries most user-friendly and high-quality processors on the market. The Spyder X20 is a popular choice of video processor by many of Vista’s clients who want easy to use input channels, multiple output boards and a sharp and quality display projected onto large display screens.

While the size of large display screens is important in displaying the images, video, text and other data, the quality of what is being display is equally important. If you have a floor-to-ceiling display screen and the image being projected is not crystal clear it will not impress the audience. It is important to have a high-quality video processor like the Vista Spyder to project your vision onto your large display screens, while also impressing your audience.
