ADVANCED VIDEO WALL CONTROL
Video wall deployments require a number of users to interact
simultaneously with a large number of inputs across a multiple screens to
get the data where they require.
WallControl 10 provides users with the interface required to quickly and
effectively manage content that include video captures, IP streams and local
applications. Users are able to place any input source on any part of the
Video Wall using a simple drag and drop operation. Precise positioning of
each piece of content can be achieved through the mouse and keyboard,
or via the revolutionary template tool.
The Template Tool allows users to not only place their own templates
across an entire wall which evenly distributes content but WallControl 10
also allows users to apply a template to an individual window so multiple
windows can be grouped together and moved as a single item.
WallControl 10 also allows you to save and recall layout files quickly and
easily ensuring the video wall is always showing the correct information.
SIMPLE INTERFACE - ADVANCED FEATURES
WallControl 10 will allow any piece of content, whether from a Datapath
capture card, IP via the PC processor or an ActiveSQX card or local media
to be placed in anywhere on a video wall. WallControl 10 also allows
administrators to deploy multiple unique videos walls from a single
Datapath VSN system.
Using User Rights Management administrators can determine which users
on their network can firstly access each wall and secondly determine what
level of permission each user will have. Restrictions can include the number
of sources and layout files available to each user, which templates they can
deploy and whether the desktop capture is available or not.

WEB INTERFACE
The web interface allows users to connect to the video wall from any compatible browser. As long as the
browser and the Datapath wall controller are on the same network, users are able to connect through a
browser on their laptops, phones or tablets. Users can select which wall they wish to change and then will be
presented with the available layouts. They can use the ‘Snapshot’ feature to receive an image of what is being
displayed on the wall.
The Web Interface is compatible with Chrome and Safari browsers. Systems administrators can also choose
which walls can be accessed via the Web Interface, giving the ability to disable web access on sensitive walls.
KVM
Keyboard and Mouse (KVM) functionality gives WallControl 10 operators the ability to manipulate sources
from their workstations. In Command and Control environments, sources being captured may derive from
unmanned workstations processing data for display onto a wall. With WallControl 10 software, operators can
use their local keyboard and mouse to manipulate the remote machine. This allows high quality capture to be
placed on a video wall, whilst the KVM is performed locally via an IP based Datapath Agent window.
ADVANCED WEB PAGE CONTROL
Advanced web page control gives operators the ability to view and manipulate web pages. The advanced
functionality includes the auto-refresh of web pages allowing for up-to-the-minute monitoring, vertical
and horizontal scroll ability to position the web page view, and a zoom function to focus only on the most
important sections of a web page.
MULTIWALL
WallControl 10 allows multiple walls to be delivered by a single VSN system. Walls in separate areas of a
building can be independently driven from a single location.
Multiple walls can be easily set up using the wall creator wizard and if required each wall can be assigned a
unique set of sources or video resources.
Layouts can be accessed via the web interface

USER RIGHTS MANAGEMENT
User rights management can be deployed on each VSN system. Users can be assigned roles on a per wall basis
based on their Windows log in, with each role allowing access to a subset of sources or layout files. A user may
have unrestricted access on Wall 1 but be confined to pre-determined layouts on Wall 2.
TEMPLATES
WallControl 10 allows users to create templates that subdivide the video wall. Users can drop content into
each area and the content will automatically fill the template space. Users can also use templates on active
Windows to create groups of content that can all be moved, resized and managed together.
CROPPING
WallControl 10 includes the ability to crop both SQX and Vision sources. With a user-friendly interface,
cropping is done by selecting the area of interest from a snapshot of the source. Save the crop to make it
available for instant deployment to the video wall, and as part of a layout file.
ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)
The On-Screen Display feature allows users to place text over Vision and SQX windows. This allows operators
to name windows so viewers can quickly identify what they are seeing on the video wall. The OSD also allows
users to add variables to the window such as Time and Date, Frame Rate & Source resolution as well as being
to set the text size, colour and font. OSD is available on Windows 7 and Windows 10 using the Datapath
WDDM driver.
BORDERS AND FRAMES
The Borders and Frames feature allow users to add a colour surround to the images on the video wall. Adding
a border will surround the content with a chosen colour irrespective of the aspect ratio, whilst adding a
frame will add a colour around the window on the video wall. Borders and Frames can be used to signify the
importance of a piece of content, to quickly identify the source type or to categorise sources that may look
similar but are monitoring different subsystems.
Borders are available on Vision and SQX windows, frames are available on all windows. Borders and Frames can
also be controlled via the Command Line Interface.

BANNERS
Create banners for display on the video wall. Users specify the banner text (either by entering manually or by
specifying an RSS feed to automatically parse), text scrolling direction (or setting as static) and the background
colour for the banner. Transparent backgrounds are also supported.
Create banners with text or RSS feed content to scroll across the video wall.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Once created, banners can be saved in the new Asset Manager included as part of WallControl 10 Pro, for
re-use in different layouts across multiple video walls. Configured windows (with crops, OSD, borders and
carousels) can also be saved as an Asset for quick recall as needed.
SQX DECODING
Playing many locally stored media files can be difficult due to processor limitations. However, WallControl
10 has the ability to decode media files by using ActiveSQX cards. By assigning media to “Decode via SQX”
Datapath and WallControl 10 offer more scale allowing lots of media files to be decoded by SQX cards at once.
Each ActiveSQX card is capable of decoding 6 Full HD videos or 3 4K 30 videos or a single 4K 60 video that uses
H264 compression, to get more media onto the wall simply add another ActiveSQX card into the system.
SOURCE STREAMING
WallControl 10 Pro users can now stream captured Vision sources over the local network to a Datapath
ActiveSQX card or any standard RTSP decoding software (such as VLC) for remote monitoring, processing or
recording.
ANY SOURCE ANYWHERE
WallControl 10 allows users to position any piece of content anywhere on the video wall. The content can
cross multiple screens, or multiple pieces may be seen in a single screen. WallControl 10 allows content to be
received from Datapath capture cards, IP streams, VNC sources, local videos and image files as well as allowing
browser windows to be opened and positioned on the wall

IP DECODE
WallControl 10 will allow users to effectively decode IP streams using either the onboard processor or
dedicated Datapath ActiveSQX decode card(s).
COMPATIBILITY
Windows 7*, Windows 10, Windows 11 (Client Only) Windows Server 2019.
AVAILABLE LANGUAGES
WallControl 10 software is available in Chinese, English, French, Japanese, Portuguese & Spanish
