Purpose-built video wall controller

Linux video wall control for mission-critical operations

Linux at the core

A controlled on-premises platform without Windows licensing or a public-cloud dependency.

See the wall. Control every source. Stay on your network.

FACET combines HDMI feeds, IP streams, remote desktops, web applications and documents on one clearly visible video wall — with operator control designed for 24/7 environments.

See FACET where decisions happen

Real deployments are shown without identifying the customer. Each project combines a different wall, source mix, control workflow and security landscape.

Cyber operations room with operators and a large multi-window video wall
Cyber operations

Many remote sources, one operational picture

Distributed IP feeds and workstations are composed into a stable shared workspace for continuous monitoring.

Situation room with conference displays and a multi-window video wall
Situation room

Video collaboration integrated into the room

The wall, local displays, conference sources and room controls work as one project-specific environment.

Executive conference room with a large multi-panel display wall
Executive collaboration

A clear wall for briefings and shared decisions

FACET adapts multi-window presentation and recall workflows to the room instead of imposing a fixed layout.

Built for project systems

Built to fit the project

Four project-level advantages that let FACET enter the customer's AV, IT and security environment without forcing the environment to adapt to the product.

01

Project configuration

I/O, wall geometry and operator workflows are selected around the system design.

  • Up to 12 direct HDMI inputs
  • Up to 32 DisplayPort outputs
  • LCD, LED and projection walls
02

Localisation

The operator interface can follow the language and terminology of the deployment.

  • Russian, English and French delivered
  • Additional project languages
  • Terminology adapted with the customer
03

Security landscape

FACET integrates into the customer's identity, certificate and HTTPS policies.

  • 802.1X authentication
  • Client and server certificates
  • Role-based access
04

Open integration

Control remains available to AV, automation and infrastructure tools.

  • REST API and HTTPS
  • RS-232 / RS-485
  • Third-party control systems

Operational confidence

The capabilities that matter after the wall goes live

Performance is only one part of a mission-critical system. FACET combines daily operation, resilience, integration and IT controls.

01

Operate

Build and recall the exact visual workspace each operator needs — without treating the wall as a fixed grid.

  • Unlimited layouts and scenarios
  • Free-form multi-window canvas
  • Source crop, scale and positioning
  • Browser and touch-panel control
02

Keep running

Protect the operational picture with platform health visibility, redundant hardware and workspace recovery.

  • 24 / 7 / 365 operating mode
  • Hot-swappable redundant power
  • Built-in diagnostics and monitoring
  • Automatic workspace recovery
03

Integrate

Connect the video wall to the wider AV, automation and IT environment using project-appropriate interfaces.

  • REST API over HTTPS
  • RS-232 / RS-485 control
  • Third-party control systems
  • Optional 10 Gbit/s networking
04

Control access

Apply the customer's security requirements while keeping media processing and control on premises.

  • Role-based access
  • Client and server certificates
  • 802.1X authentication
  • HTTPS management stack
Field experience

Developed through live control-room projects since 2015

FACET has evolved through deployments in transport, government, cybersecurity, industrial training and corporate situation centres. Each generation added capabilities requested by real operators and infrastructure teams.

A configurable platform for project-scale video walls

The final I/O, chassis and software configuration is selected after a design review.

Configured, not improvised

One 4U platform, engineered around the project

FACET is configured from the project brief: source formats, wall geometry, resilience requirements and integration interfaces define the delivered system.

Project questions

What integrators and operators usually ask first

01Is FACET a video wall controller or a matrix switcher?+

FACET is a video wall controller and processor with multi-window composition. It can also perform modular matrix switching as part of the configured workflow.

02Which display technologies are supported?+

FACET works with display systems accepting its supported output formats, including LCD panels, LED processing systems and projectors. The output design is validated for each project.

03Can FACET be integrated with an existing control system?+

Yes. FACET provides a REST API and supports integration with third-party control systems. The required command set is reviewed during system design.

04Can the interface be localised?+

Yes. FACET has been delivered with Russian, English and French interfaces, and additional project localisation can be discussed.

05How is the configuration selected?+

The engineering team reviews the number and type of sources, wall geometry, resolutions, network streams, redundancy and operator scenarios before recommending the final configuration.
