The iH4 range of graphics cards are powerful multi-screen graphics adapters providing solutions for high quality, complex data/video walls or multi-screen desktop applications.
Using multiple iH4 cards in your system it is possible to create a display which allows the Windows desktop to be spread across a maximum of 32 screens. Constructing a multi-screen data/video wall using the iH4 range of graphics cards enables the display to be arranged in any rectangular format, by introducing the iH4-PRO and iH4-DIG, the option of displaying high quality video overlays becomes available.
In effect, four graphics cards in one, the iH4 has four independent 64bit Savage4-PRO graphics processors, each with 16MBytes of memory - one per display channel - to bring superb image quality at high resolution and colour depths. With four DVI outputs, each supporting a resolution of 1280 x 1024 (digital) and 1600 x 1200 (analog) you can be sure of displaying all the applications you need. If you need more screens, simply install another iH4 card in your machine up to a maximum of 8 cards..
EMS multi screen video solutions use the latest digital technology for stunning video quality. Multiple independent video windows can be displayed simultaneously, and can be scaled to full screen with horizontal and vertical interpolation for high quality images. Chroma-key support also allows you to overlay graphics onto video and video onto graphics.
Every iH4 solution also includes Wall Control. Wall Control is the iH4 series wall control management software for the professional approach to display handling.
The iH4 can also be used with up to four VQS01 controllers allowing you to increase the number of displays from 4 to 16 from a single iH4 card. For wall applications requiring support for a large number of displays, it is possible to use up to eight iH4 cards and 32 VQS01 controllers. This configuration provides support for up to 128 displays.
Note: The maximum resolution per display when using the VQS01 is 1024 x 768.
