ISE 2014!

EDITORIAL

Dear customers, staff and friends ofthe eyevis company,

last year was one of the most exciting for eyevis in the whole history of the enter-prise. Important signposts towards future successes were installed and new devel-opments set in motion. We now start the year 2014 eager for action, with more new ideas and full of energy, looking forward to the challenges it brings, which we will deal with using all our skills and the op-portunities it offers, which we will grasp whole-heartedly. With this first issue of eyevision in 2014 I wish you all, together with your families, a healthy and success-ful New Year .

On the international scene the year in-deed starts excitingly when the major ex-hibition Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) takes place from the fourth to the sixth of February in Amsterdam. This trade fair,

a fixture in the calendars of our business sector for the past ten years now, is seen as one of the most essential, pivotal events for AV-technology and electronic systems. On page 6ff you can read more about the variety of new products, solutions and innovative developments eyevis will pres-ent on this occasion.

Worldwide air-traffic and its execution is becoming ever more complex. The demands made on staff, not only on pi-lots and flight crews, are tremendous; in airports, too, and especially in the tower, the tightest security and highest depend-ability are an absolute must. On page 20ff we present to you one of the most perfect simulations for the instruction and train-ing of air-traffic controllers.

The announcement caused a stir not only in the German capital: Microsoft is open-ing a new IT-Sector-Venue in Berlin! On page 19 you will find more details.

And last but not least, we begin in this is-sue a new series “Culinary Travels in Swa-bia”, in which we hope to introduce you to the favourite dishes of our region. The first article is dedicated to the Swabian dish par excellence – Maultaschen. Enjoy your meal!

Your Michael W. NagelCEO

EYEVIS VIDEO WALL ENABLES CENTRAL MONITORING OF MORE THAN 90 CAR PARKS

SAEMES (Société Anonyme d’Economie Mixte d’Exploitation du Stationnement, a semi-public parking system operator for the City of Paris) conducts more than 90 car parks in the city area of Paris. More than 4 million visitors use the parking each year.

For the central surveillance and the manage-ment of the car parks SAEMES has installed a new control room. There, the signals of the CCTV cameras are centrally displayed. Ad-ditionally the control room staff answers all service-requests and emergency calls from the clients in the car parks. Thus, no human

presence in the car parks is necessary. For the visualization of the CCTV cameras eyevis has installed a 7 sqm video wall, consisting of twelve 46”-displays type EYE-LCD-4600-M-USN-LD. The incoming signals are controlled with a netPIX 4800 graphics controller and the eyeCON wall management software.

Goal of the new control room was to increa-se the surveillance of the car parks and thus to increase the safety for the parked cars. To reach this the control room operates around the clock. This way more than 3000 ser-vice-requests and emergency calls are ans-wered each week. Therefore, the reliability of

the displays is really important. With full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 px), direct LED back-light technology for best brightness and contrast, and a minor resulting bezel bet-ween neighbouring display in a video wall of only 5.7 mm the 46”-Displays from eyevis offer a homogeneous picture quality along the entire video wall.

NEWS FROM THE MARKETS – IN A NUTSHELL

EYEVIS DELIVERS squareTILES SETUP FOR SWEDISH SHOPPING MALL

Since October 2013 the newest shopping mall in the provincial capital Umeå has opened its doors. In the Utopia Shopping Mall, several retail stores and restaurants invite visitors to shop and to relax.

At the entrance area a video wall setup consisting of 19 squareTILES from eyevis develops an attractive living atmosphere. The squareTILES and two projectors at the second floor were installed by the Swedish integrator Hans Johansson from Mindspace Group. Together the squareTILES and the projectors create a multiscreen installation.

The displays are controlled via DISE8 soft-ware from Mindspace. Thanks to the inter-nal image processing the representation of the content can be adjusted to the position of each display in the wall setup. Thanks to their thiin bezel design, squareTILES enab-le a good depiction of contents even over several displays. The quadrilateral 21.6-inch screen with 1:1 aspect ratio supports crea-tive setups. Whether they are installed in a vertical column, side by side or diagonally shifted, with squareTILES video walls can be adjusted to every content.

Thanks to the local presence, the integrator and eyevis Nordic were able to find suitab-le products for the specific application. “As always, we had to understand the architect and the customers need to be able to pre-sent a topnotch solution from eyevis com-prehensive product range”, concludes Trond Solvold, eyevis Nordic.

EYEVIS PARTNER OF B-E-C FOR MOTION-SIMULATORS

In order to make virtual worlds realisti-cally experienceable, Buck Engineering & Consulting GmbH (B-E-C) is designing special robot-based motion simulators. Unlike hexapod simulators the motion si-mulators of B-E-C consists of a simulator cockpit that is connected to a robotic arm. This way, it was possible to realize a complete motion simulation for the development of excavators, in which the user gets an experience of all acting forces.With its extensive motion envelope and the possibility to simulate flying upside-down the solution of B-E-C is suitable for different

areas of application from perceptual re- search to helicopter simulation.

For the visualization the virtual environment is directly projected onto the inside of the simulator cockpit through two eyevis DLP projectors of type ESP-LWXT-1000. Since the entire simulator is subject to realistic motions and forces, eyevis’ projectors con-vince through their robust design. Thanks to the durable LED lighting and the innovative Heat-Pipe-Cooling without mobile parts the projectors additionally provide long main-tenance intervals and lower operating costs of the simulators.

Since 2009 B-E-C equipped four of their mo-tion simulators with eyevis DLP projectors, most recently at the University of Montpel-lier in France. There, the simulator is used for experiments in the area of motion coordina-tion since April 2013.

EYEVIS IN BIG APPLE - NEW VIDEO WALL FOR THE MAIN NEWSROOM OF AL JAZEERA AMERICA

On August 20, 2013 Al Jazeera America (AJA) new news channel went live in North America. In this new main New York studio is where the main part of the live production takes place.

AJA chose Clickspring Design for their bro-adcast studio design and Diversified Sys-tems, as their primary studio systems inte-grator. The studio itself is oval shaped and arrange around a central news desk. Our US partner Aydin Visual Solutions installed two slightly curved video walls consisting of EC-60-LHD rear-projeciton cubes from eyevis as studio backdrops. The larger one is made of

a 12 × 3 cube arrangement, the smaller one of a 3 × 3 arrangement. Located directly be-hind the moderator’s desk they are used to display live videos, graphics or the weather report.

The eyevis cubes meet high requirements. Thus, with technical features like the Auto-matic Color Tracking or the Matrix Shading Processor, the cubes have consistent colour representation and a steady brightness con-trol. The long lifetime of the LEDs with more than 60,000 hours enables long service in-tervals and a reliable operation of the sys-tem. High quality screens guarantee stable

brightness and colours from various viewing angles and hence camera shots from diffe-rent angles. Five full HD signals are displayed on the video walls. This way, one full HD sig-nal is available for each camera angle.

FLEXIBLE AND RELIABLE DECODING OF 4K STREAMS

EYEVIS EXPANDS PORTFOLIO OF IP DECODER BOARDS

In order to meet the upscale require-ments on the transmission of AV sig-nals in control and conference rooms, showrooms and in the field of broad-casting, eyevis expands their portfolio of IP decoder boards by the new IPD-32HQ. The new IPD32HQ comple -ments the existent IPD32 and is able to decode up to two 4K signals or 16 HD signals simultaneously. Moreover, eyevis as a member of ONVIF has inte-grated the ONVIF profile s-standard and so enables the support of more than 2500 camera models of various manufacturers.

With the increasing distribution of the 4K standard and the growing complexity of AV technology in control and conference rooms, showrooms and the broadcasting sector, the requirements on the transmis- sion of AV signals is ever increasing. There-fore, eyevis have expanded their portfolio of IP decoder boards. The new IPD32HQ as high quality IP decoder board is able to de-code two 4K signals, 16 HD signals or 32 D1 signals simultaneously. Furthermore, both the IPD32HQ and its little brother IPD32 support flexible individual codecs as well as customised systems. As an ONVIF-member, eyevis furthermore has integrated the ONVIf profile s-standard. Both eyevis decoders thus support more than 2500 camera models of

various manufacturers. Just like the IPD32 decoder, the new IPD-32HQ can be integrated in all netPIX systems thanks to the open architecture of the net-PIX family. Through the use of external hard-ware architecture it is possible to display up to 512 D1 streams, up to 256 HD streams or up to 32 4K streams with a netPIX system. Combined with eyeCON V 5.1 software and its MetaWall features thus a nearly unlimited number of decoded streams can be achie-ved. What is more, also with the IPD32HQ it is possible to combine the decoder on the netPIX with all kinds of input signals, for example analogue video input cards or RGB/DVI cards.

Owing to these many-faceted extensions and features, the eyevis IP decoder boards are virtually universally usable. The possibili-ty to combine all individual elements allows to create an extremely efficient controller system with a huge number of different in-put signals without the requirement for an additional system. This functional system architecture allows later extensions without any problems because it is not necessary to exchange the entire hardware. Through support of individual codecs or customised systems it is possible to respond specifically to individual customer demands.

EYEVIS INTEGRATED AC TIVE-DIREC TORY-SUPPORT IN WALL MANAGEMENT SOFT WARE

eyeCON V5.1 BECOMES EVEN MORE USER-FRIENDLY

V5.

1 With the current version update the eyeCON V5.1 wall management soft-ware becomes even more user-friend-ly. The newly integrated Active Direc-tory support enables the transfer of existing user structures and user rights into the rights management of eyeCON V5.1.

Authorized users who have registered on their computer can directly open and con-trol the software without having to register again. Additionally, with the rights manage-ment of eyeCON V5.1 group assignments, authorizations, hierarchical structuring or areas on the large scale video wall can be freely defined for each user. Thus, the wall management software can be implemented in exisiting network structures even more easily.

In addition to the new extension, eyeCON V 5.1 offers the established features for user-friendly and flexible operation and management of large scale video walls in control rooms and presentation areas.

Thanks to the complete network integration of the eyeCON V5.1 software, flexible cont-rol of large scale image systems, control of all connected sources and the distribution of information in control and presentation rooms are possible. In this way eyeCON V5.1 is completely based on client/server techno-logy which makes all information in the net-work globally accessible and thus offers the possibility to exchange this information bet-ween displays, large scale video walls and workstations. Even beyond local facilities all information and sources are accessible. The integration of eyevis eStreaming solutions furthermore makes all sources (analogue, RGB, DVI, HDSDI, HDMI etc.) available in the network and makes the distribution to the single reproducers easier.

The eyeCON-Capture-Module allows for an even faster transmission of desktop contents onto the video wall. The wallserver which handles all sources through the netPIX con-troller can, if necessary, be flexibly adjusted and configured through any user worksta-tion. Video wall presets for different condi-tions, situations and contents can easily be defined and be made accessible globally for all systems. Thus, for example, an alarm preset for a wall can be created and then transferred to other walls. Through the fea-ture “MultiView” several video walls can be controlled simultaneously or several sources can be handled at once. Additionally, the Multi-Mouse feature enables any number of users within a network to access the lar-ge scale video wall system with their own mouse and keyboard.

INTELLIGENT NETWORKING OF VIDEO WALLS

eyeCON METAWALL 2.0 AND NEW INTELLIGENT DISPLAYS ENABLE FLEXIBLE EXPANDABILIT Y OF VIDEO WALLS

The requirements on AV technology in control and conference rooms are get-ting more and more complex. If, for example in the field of security, indivi-dual control rooms are consolidated into integrated control centres, AV technology has to be able to manage the additional tasks and the increa-sing number of signal sources.

This requires premium video wall and dis-play systems. Here, seamless rear-projecti-on cubes, LCD displays with LED backlight, high brightness, full HD resolution, brilliant colour representation and 24/7 reliability are a standard. But advanced control rooms or modern office concepts, like flex-office, re-quire more than just premium visualization.

Complete systems that enable a trouble-free installation, simple controls and flexible ex-pandability are required. Basis for this is the network architecture for the signal distribu-tion and the control of the video walls and the single displays. These have to be flexibly adjustable to changing requirements and to be easily extended as needed. Moreover, an easy real-time transmission of data over the network has to be possible. In order to fulfil these standards, eyevis has developed eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 and the new series of the intelligent EPU LCD displays. In the new EPU displays all image processing electro-nics are integrated into the display through the eyeProcessing Unit (EPU).

INTELLIGENT NETWORKING OF VIDEO WALLS AND DISPLAYS

eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 is a flexible soft-ware-based system for signal transmission and the control of video walls and single displays. Through eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 se-veral video walls and single displays can be interconnected to a single user interface beyond the limits of single graphics control-

lers. In addition to graphics controllers from the netPIX series eyeCON MetaWall 2.0 also supports the new intelligent eyevis EPU dis-plays. Combined with the eyevis streaming solutions, the installation and operation of virtually unlimited video walls and display installations on basis of standard IP networks is possible.

In the process, input signals are transferred via a standard IP network, internet or cloud and are extracted from the network by graphics controllers or intelligent displays, depending on the installation at hand. Ma-nagement, scaling and assignment of all in-put signals are controlled through eyeCON V5.1. The software visualizes all sources on a desktop surface and in htis way enables the somple distribution of the signals to any video wall or display within the system.

INFINITE FLEXIBILITY FOR INTEGRATORS

Since both intelligent displays with direct control as well as video wall displays that are controlled through graphics controllers can be integrated into eyeCON MetaWall 2.0, integrators receive unforeseen flexibili-ty. All components can be combined with each other as needed. For control rooms with SCADA applications the use of graphics controller solutions is the recommended choice, whereas displays with embedded processing units are ideal if several single displays are allotted to different rooms or for a cost-efficient extension of existing sys-tems. Due to integrated image processing the installation becomes much easier. In addition to the power cable only a simple network cable has to be connected to the EPU display.

eyevis offers the new EPU displays as stand-alone displays with screen diagonals from 46” to 65” type EYE-LCD-4600-LE-EPU, EYE-LCD-5500-LE-EPU, EYE-LCD-6500-LE-EPU as well as seamless video wall display type EYE-LCD-5500-USN-LD-FX-EPU. With full HD resolution, edge or direct LED back-light, high brightness up to 700 cd/m², a contrast of 4000:1 the eyevis displays are perfectly suited for demanding applications. With a minimal bezel of only 5.3 mm the EYE-LCD-5500-USN-LD-FX-EPU is also ideal for the construction of fixed modular video walls. Suitable for all fields of applications eyevis also offers three different configura-tions of the eyeProcessing Unit.

LCD-XXLPRODUC T TEST: 90”-LCD-MONITOR EYEVIS EYE-LCD-9000-LD

“There’s no replacement for displace-ment” – is this old wisdom of engine designers in a figurative sense also va-lid for the screen diagonal of large scale displays?

To a certain degree this is surely true, at least when it comes to the attraction of attention. Here, “the more diagonal, the better” holds true - and if necessary, even larger video walls are used. When it comes to detailed in-formation, however, the format may indeed be smaller, since a 40” Full HD-Display pro-vides the same information content like an 80”-Full HD-Display – only for a shorter vie-wing distance. An upper limit will probably be around 160” since the maximum palet-te height in air freight service is 96”, which would cause massive logistic disadvantages for a display that exceeded this size inclu-ding packing and palette. A reference point for reasonable dimensions might be the possibility to depict life-size people which would probably be interesting for a whole range of applications in trade fair and store construction as well as digital signage. With an according width of the screen area of about 2 m we would end up with a screen diagonal of about 90” – which is exactly the dimension of the new large scale display EYE-LCD-9000-LD by eyevis.

The panel of the new eyevis 90” screen has a native resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD) and, according to the data sheet, pro-vides a maximum brightness of 700 cd/m² -

in this way it is also suitable for applications in brighter surroundings. But more on that later. The backlight is implemented as a so called Direct-LED-Backlight. That means that the LEDs for background lighting are not only attached to the edges, but are evenly distributed over the entire display area which is supposed to provide a parti-cularly even lighting. The native contrast is specified as 4000:1 which should ensure an intense black in surroundings with low am-bient light or in night operation. Our mea-surements will show the performance under ambient light conditions.

A switchable local dimming feature is to a lesser extend designed to further reduce the black levels – like in consumer and home cinema devices – but is rather an energy-sa-

ving measure since the brightness of the backlight is adjusted to image contents.Mechanically, the EYE-LCD-9000-LD has a robust metal housing, by default in black (RAL9005), other RAL colors are available on demand.

In terms of inputs the EYE-LCD-9000-LD is well equipped, since it provides inputs for the standard formats DVI, HDMI, VGA as well as Composite and S-Video. Of course there is also a RS-232 interface for remote control. On the backside of the screen a membrane keypad can be used for local operation. As a matter of course the display can also be controlled using an infrared remote control.

A monitor with an image area of no less than 199 cm × 112 cm is of course perfectly sui-ted to replace a projection with a 5000-AN-SI-Lumen-Projector on the same screen size – with significantly higher ambient light tolerance, since the reflectance of the dis-play surface is at least 20× lower than the reflectance of a projection area with Gain=1. Admittedly, this will only be particularly in-teresting for applications that require exac-tly this ambient light tolerance because the display solution will still be more expensive than the classic front projection.An advantage of the EYE-LCD-9000-LD for the application in the areas of training and education, but also in museums, exhibitions and digital signage is the possibility to opti-onally equip the display with an optical inf-rared touch surface that is capable of multi-

touch operation with up to 32 simultaneous touch events. This is not only interesting for exhibitory applications, but for instance also allows for the construction of an interactive table with a surface of more than 2 m² which not even overstrained by six simultaneously operating persons. Is this also imaginable for interactive team meetings? It is!

MEASUREMENT RESULTS

Our measurements showed a maximum lu-minance of 778 cd/m² which is even above the manufacturer's specifications. A black value of 0.18 cd/m² results in a dark room contrast of outstanding 4322:1. The measu-rement of the practically more important ambient light contrast values (top right fi-gure) are also very convincing: Under diffuse light incidence without reflected light sour-ces the contrast does not drop below 20:1 (!) even for an ambient light illuminance of 80.000 Lux. If light sources or bright areas are visible as reflections on the screen surfa-ce, the contrast will obviously drop in these areas. Up to a luminance of 7000 cd/m² of an ambient light source the contrast does not drop below a still useful value of 3:1.

The color space of the EYE-LCD-9000-LD corresponds in good approximation to sRGB or Rec 709 so that even without calibrati-on no visible color shifts are to be expec-ted. Thanks to the Direct-LED-Backlight the mean deviation of brightness is no higher than about 11% - in photographic terms

this corresponds to a 1⁄6 aperture stop and is thus measurable but not visible.The angular dependence of contrast shows the typical behaviour of an IPS panel with a wide viewing angle in the horizontal as well as the vertical plane. Thus, the display offers flawless images in landscape as well as por-trait format with a wide viewing angle.

CONCLUSION

With the new 90”-LC-screen EYE-LCD-9000-LD eyevis succeeded in adding an interes-ting and useful complement to their pro-duct range. The display is visibly larger than a 65” screen, it is able to display life-size people in portrait format and in this way is an eye-catcher for trade fairs and digital sig-nage applications. All of this in eyevis’ usual-ly high manufacturing quality. What more could we want?

NEW netPIX 4900 SETS STANDARDS FOR GRAPHIC CONTROLLERS

The requirements for AV technology in control and conference rooms be-come more and more extensive. Due to increasingly complex tasks and gro-wing data formats the volume of transmitted data increases as well. The new netPIX 4900 graphic control-ler sets performance standards for the operation of video walls and the sig-nal transmission in this field.

With new input and output cards, a new Switch-Fabric-Backplane and an optimized housing concept the new netPIX 4900 ma-kes input and output processing of 4K/Ultra HD signals and the transmission of audio via HDMI possible. Moreover, maintainability and service have been improved which lo-wers downtimes.

THAT’S NEW OFTHE netPIX 4900:

New high-end hardware allows for faster processing of 4K signals. With the combi-nation of the new input and output cards and the new backplane with 11 PCle G3.0 x8 slots the netPIX 4900 offers outstanding per-formance for signal transmission and data processing. The new NPX-4900-IN4-DVI-1 capture cards with a maximum bandwidth of 3.2 Gbyte/s provide input transmission of signals with a resolution of 4096 × 2048 pixels. At the same time the input cards sup-port video, RGB / DVI, HDSDI and IP signals. Moreover, the transmission of audio signals via HDMI is possible for any DVI input signal. Four capture processors per card guarantee a fast processing of all signals. The new out-put card supports output signals with a re-solution of four times 2560 × 1600 pixels or two times 4096 × 2160 pixels per card (Per-formance-Mode).

INNOVATIVE HOUSING-CONCEPT OPTIMIZES THE PERFORMANCE

The new netPIX 4900 additionally convin-ces with its optimized and for professional applications customized housing. In cont-rast to previous netPIX graphic controllers, eyevis developed a special housing for the netPIX 4900. Redundant and failsafe the new housing furthermore simplifies maintenan-ce and service and in this way lowers down-times. The new input and output cards for instance are cooled by two large coolers wit-hin the housing. Those coolers can be disas-sembled and cleaned or exchanged during operation due to the hot-plug principle. The power supply is redundant and in case of malfunction can be exchanged during ope-ration as well. This is also true for the integ-rated hard drives. If at least two hard drives are installed in Raid1-Mode they can also be exchanged during running operation.

WITH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND WELL THOUGHT OUT FEATURES EYEVIS INCREASES PERFORMANCE OF THE netPIX SERIES

MICROSOFT OPENS NEW MEETING POINT FOR THE IT SECTOR IN BERLIN

EYEVIS INSTALLS VIDEO WALL IN FIRST MICROSOFT CENTER WORLDWIDE

With the first public Microsoft Center worldwide, the IT corporation current-ly opens a central meeting point for customers, business partners, the me-dia, founders, political and social net-working. For visualizations during events, lectures and presentations eyevis in cooperation with the IT inte-grator PRO VIDEO installed a 13 m² vi-deo wall in the central event area of the building.

On four floors and a total area of around 3,000 m² Microsoft created a meeting point for the IT sector. It resembles the significan-ce that IT has in private, public and econo-mic life and serves as a network for users, developers and the manufacturer. At the center of the ground floor an event area for more than 400 spectators can be used for different formats of presentations and exhi-bitions. An integral part of the event area is the 13 m² video wall consisting of 16 55”

LCD displays made by eyevis. According to the event, video data, static image contents or presentations will be seen on it. Due to the high brightness of the eyevis displays, the detailed full HD resolution, the distingu-ished color and contrast values and the mi-nimal distances between active image areas all contents can be presented on the video wall in high quality.

For the new center Microsoft has rebuilt and renovated a landmarked building at the location “Unter den Linden 17” since the end of June 2013. On November 7, it was inaugu-rated by Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer and the head of Microsoft Germany Christian P. Illek. A café with an innovative gastronomy concept on the ground floor will be the cen-ter for the exchange of private end users. On the upper floors further reception and pre-sentation areas for events with politicians and business customers as well as offices for Microsoft employees are situated. The top

floor is dedicated to founder promotion and start-ups. Students and developers receive optimal working conditions and rooms for their business ideas as well as the necessary infrastructure, state-of the-art presentation technologies and counseling for their reali-zation.

NEW PROJECTORS IMPROVE TRAINING SIMULATIONS

INTEGRATOR ANTICYP INSTALLS EYEVIS PROJEC TORS IN SKYGUIDE TOWER SIMULATOR and higher resolution which benefits sky-guide and the tower flight controllers who train at the STC. The tower simulator is part of the STC’s air navigation service centre in Dübendorf.

With a highly modern simulation facility that includes twenty-four workplaces in radar simulators, three tower simulators and two smaller basic simulators on a floor area of 950 sqm, STC is skyguide’s centre for basic and advanced training. Using the detailed si-mulations flight controllers, trainees are pro-vided with the ability to practice and refresh their skills, knowledge and abilities in real- istic surroundings. They may even be trained for certification or re-certification.

ANTYCIP SIMULATION INTEGRATES NEW PROJECTION SOLUTIONS

As the previous lamp projectors had reached the end of their life-cycle, skyguide decided to modernize and upgrade the projectors. Antycip Simulation was selected to provide integration expertise for this purpose, im-proving the STC’s resolution while achieving better life-cycle and operational effective-ness. Antycip Simulation was required to keep with the existing projection infrastruc-ture with screens, projector mountings, light

paths, etc. To achieve this, the new projec-tors not only had to offer better simulation quality, but also had to be compatible with existing mountings. Antycip Simulation, identified the eyevis projector solutions as most ideal under the circumstances and set about developing suitable optical and pro-jection solutions for the modernisation.

The Antycip Simulation team also had to accommodate ongoing training in neigh-boring simulators and keep downtimes to a minimum. Thanks to perfect collaboration of the involved partners and precise planning, the project could be realized in a short peri-od of only nine days.

EYEVIS LED PROJECTORS IMPROVE SIMULATION QUALITY AND REDUCE OPERATING COSTS

The new eyevis ESP-LWXT-1000 projectors with a WUXGA resolution of 1920 × 1200 px enable a 30 % higher pixel density per screen area. The increased reolution of 1.9 megapi-xel per displayed image provides an increa-sed level of detail for the simulation which allows trainees to better recognise smaller, training-relevant objects such as small air-planes on the horizon or points of reference in the landscape. The increased brightness

of the LED projectors and the eye-catching colour displays also provide a more realistic representation of the airfield, improving the situational quality. “The colour homogenei-ty, geometrical calibration, excellent cont-rast and especially the higher pixel density are highly appreciated by our customers and perfectly fulfil our requirements”, confirms Patrick Diezi, project manager at skyguide.

Through eyevis’ integrated Auto-Colour-Tra-cking (ACT ) technology which constantly measures and, if required, regulates colour and brightness values automatically, all 14 projectors can be adjusted without ha-ving to interrupt the simulations. The ACT also continuously monitors the data on the system status and hence enables a compre-hensive analysis and an early detection of possible malfunctions. This form of preven-tive maintenance reduces downtime and improves the overall performance of the sys-tem. In addition, the newly installed eyevis projectors are almost maintenance-free due to the cluster-LED light source and the in-novative heat-pipe cooling. With an average lifetime of 60,000 hours, the LEDs have to be replaced significantly less often compared to the previously used projector lamps. This further reduces operating costs and downti-me and improves the life-cycle costs of the projectors.

Antycip Simulation has collaborated with eyevis to upgrade and modernize the tower simulator of skyguide Trai-ning Centers (STC) in Dübendorf near Zurich. Fourteen new eyevis LED pro-jectors now provide improved trai-ning simulation experience at the STC tower simulator with higher resolu- tion, more detailed color depiction and better brightness.

Antycip Simulation worked with eyevis in the integration of the system as the previous projector solution had reached the end of its life-cycle. The latest improvements now have resulted in higher simulation quality

A culinary

journey through

Swabia

our beloved Maultaschen!*

Every country and every region have their own specific character, which often finds expression in loveable or even rather quirky featu-res. These include the typical dishes which belong to the area. With our new series “Culinary Travels in Swabia“ we would like to make you better acquainted with the tastes of Swabia. So let us start with

Maultaschen! The not only in Baden-Württemberg highly valued, fil-led pasta dish has become known and popular far beyond our regio-nal borders. But what is the origin of the Swabian delicacy and which stories are told about them?

The Legends

Homemade

Maultaschen: Ingredients: For the pastry (similar to pasta dough):

300 g plain white flour, 2 eggs, pinch of salt, pinch of grated

nutmeg, ca. 60 ml water, 1 desert spoon of vegetable oil

For the filling: 1 onion, finely chopped, ½ a bunch of parsley,1

tablespoon of vegetable oil, 250 g of spinach or stinging nettles, one

old (white) bread roll, 250 g of sausage meat (mix with minced meat

if desired), 1 egg, salt, pepper, pinch of ground nutmeg.

Method: For the pastry: Make a smooth dough from the given ingre-

dients. Form into a ball and put aside.

For the filling: fry the onion gently with the parsley until glazed. Dip

spinach or nettles briefly in boiling water to soften. Drain well then

chop finely. Soak bread roll in cold water. Squeeze out excess water.

Stir meat and egg with spices. Add other ingredients and mix well. On

a lightly floured surface roll out the pasta dough thinly to a rectangle.

Spread out the filing evenly over half the dough. Fold the other half

over and press down lightly. (Alternatively, spread the filling over the

whole of the pastry and roll up. Cut slices from the roll.) Use the

handle of a wooden spoon to press in lines ca. 7 cm apart in a grid

pattern, beginning with the edges of the rectangle. With a pastry

cutter (roller) or sharp knife, cut down the middle of the internal lines

in both directions to form your square Maultaschen. Remove these

from the surface one by one and press the sides together firmly. Pla-

ce them in plenty of boiling water (salted) or stock, allow to boil up

again, then simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes. Take out with a

slotted spoon or strainer and drain well.

Tip: Serve the Maultaschen

in some of the stock with

potato salad (with an oil and

vinegar dressing) as a side dish.

Enjoy your meal!

There are numerous myths and legends about the origin of Maultaschen. Perhaps the most popular story refers to the Cister- cian monks of the monastery of Maulbronn. In the seventeenth century the Thirty Years War engulfed the land with hunger and depriva-tion.There was often nothing to put on the dinner table. So it was a real blessing when the monks of said monastery were given a hunk of meat. But it was in the middle of a period of fasting and the eating of meat was strictly forbidden by the rules of their religion.

But the crafty monks chopped the meat into small pieces, mixed it with herbs and spinach from the monastery garden and thus made a greenish mixture which had little resemblance to meat. And so that their Heavenly Father would definitely not notice anything, the shrewd monks even packed the paste, pressed into small portions, into pastry cases. This well-known anecdote exp-lains why these pasta squares are still today often playfully referred to in Swabia as “Little God-cheaters”.

THE HISTORY OF MAULTASCHEN

No matter who really invented Maultaschen, we are definitely concerned with Swabian speciality with a centuries-old tradition.

The first written mention can be found in a document of the year 1831, where the royal Württemberg Prelate Johannes Christoph von Schmid describes the Maultasche as “a stuffed noodle from Swabia“. This is also the description given in the great German Dic-tionary of the Grimm brothers in 1885. In Swabia the first written recipes for the pre-paration of Maultaschen have been found in documents dated 1844 and 1905.

Maultaschen were originally mainly favou-red by poorer people because they could be stuffed with all the left-over kitchen scraps which were still edible. But the humble Maultasche has in the meantime come up in the world and is – filled with choice ingre-dients – today also popular with gourmets. Quail, sweetbreads or ceps (the mushroom boletus edulis) are just some of the luxury ingredients one can find in the Maultaschen of good restaurants. Mediterranean and even Asiatic variants have reportedly been spotted. So the time is long gone when Maultaschen were mainly eaten during fasting periods in order to cheat the Almighty. They are enjo-yed in Swabia on any occasion and at any time of the year – preferably home made or bought from the local butcher. But of cour-se you can get them today, industrially pro-duced, from any supermarket.

THE MAULTASCHEN WAY

For all those who appreciate our Swabian delicacy as much as we do the Swabian Alb region even provides a Maultaschen path- way for enthusiastic walkers, Beginning and ending in the spa town of Bad Urach, a circular route of five 20 kilometre stretches leads to five gourmet destinations for your overnight stops. The tired pilgrim is rewar-ded at each station with mouth-watering Maultaschen delicacies.

The Maultaschen-Queen:Since the beginning of the new millenni-um the small town of Baiersbronn in the Black Forest has regularly chosen a Maulta-schen-Queen to represent this regional spe-cialty.

The European Maultasche:Application has been made to the Europe-an Union to register the name Schwäbische Maultasche with the intention of gaining the status of a protected geographical speciality. The proposal defines this Maultasche ex- actly in terms of form, size and content. One might well speculate on the outcome – after all, from one village to another the Swabians themselves often disagree on what should – and definitely should not – go into a Maul-tasche.

SHOWROOM PRESENTS APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES AND USE OF EYEVIS PRODUC TS

TOUCHABLE EYEVIS SOLUTIONS

different application possibilities of eyevis displays are illustrated. 3D displays and pro-jectors show how eyevis solutions can be used in simulators and the VR sector.

A control center installation demonstrates the advantages of eyevis rear projection cubes in a video wall. With innovative Clus-ter LED illumination for higher brightness, screen diagonals up to 100 inches and reso-lutions up to WQXGA, the cubes were espe-cially designed for demanding 24/7 operati-on. Through a netPIX graphic controller and the eyevis streaming solutions eStreamer and eyeGATE the cubes are connected to a standard IP network and subsequently to eyevis LCDs, squareTILES and omniSHAPES. Centrally controlled by the eyeCON wall ma-nagement software image and video signals can simply be transmitted via network and flexibly distributed to different reproducers. In order to ergonomically adjust resolution, screen diagonal and brightness of the cubes to the future control room architecture, dis-tance markers were embedded in the floor in front of the video wall.

For event and show installations the squa-reTILES and omniSHAPES are additionally shown in all their creative possibilities. If concave and convex, overhanging, as di-rection sign, in the shape of an “i” or as floor installation. The creative eyevis displays offer diverse combinations for attention-drawing video walls.

High-quality eyevis solutions for de-manding visualization projects: This is shown by the extensive multifunction showroom at the eyevis headquarters in Reutlingen. Planners, architects and integrators can catch up with their customers on application possi-bilities and the use of eyevis solutions. Moreover, eyevis engineers offer sup-port for the planning and realization of current projects.

The foyer already presents a big range of LCD displays with full HD and 4K/QHD reso-lution and different screen diagonals. eye-vis’ displays are applicable as stand-alone devices or with minimum bezels of only 3.7 to 5.3 mm for video walls. From a 22” trans-parent display that is perfectly suited to be integrated into shop windows or trade fair booths and combines a real object in the background with digital information, over displays with a color temperature of 3,200 Kelvin for broadcast applications, up to a 3×2 46” display installation with Multitouch,

EXPORT/TRAVEL ORGANISATION SECRETARIAT

ORDER PROCESSING

“There's simply no getting around us!” This quote from Sarah Gorazdza puts it in a nutshell: at the eyevis headquarters Ramona Bauer, Cristia-na Goncalves and Sarah Gorazdza make up the first point of contact for all customers. Whether by telephone, mail or in dealing with personal cal-lers, they coordinate all customer concerns and forward these to the appropriate department in the firm.

Apart from ensuring fr iendly customer reception, they also deal with all kinds of import and export matters and travel orga-nisation, booking flights and hotels for em-

ployees working on assignments outside the office. They organise the allocation of conference rooms, ensure guests are pro-vided with refreshments and manage the scheduling of Sales Training for integrators of eyevis-products.

For eyevis-employees too, Ramona Bauer, Cristiana Goncalves and Sarah Gorazdza are often the first persons to turn to. For instan-ce, if any office equipment is missing, they will rapidly ensure fresh supplies. In short, Ramon Bauer, Cristiana Goncalves and Sarah Gorazdza are our helpers in all things large and small.

They know many of our customers, but only on the telephone – our three colleagues from Order Processing.

Marina Immler has been a member of our eyevis team for nine years. For more than five years now she has been assisted by Daniela Stehlig and Birgit Krug too, for the past three years, has provided even more woman-po-wer in the Order Processing department. Indispensable, they constitute the interface between customer orders and the depart-

ments Production, Logistics and Sales. When an order comes in, they will enter all the data in the ERP-system and send confirmation of the order to the customer. The order will be forwarded to the Production and Logistics departments, which produce a produc- tion order and shipping order, ensuring the smooth functioning of the processes of pro-duction of the items ordered and delivery to the customer. Invoices are also drawn up and dispatched to customers by Marina Immler, Daniela Stehlig and Birgit Krug.

FOCUSING ON INNOVATIONS

KICK-OFF EVENT INFORMS EYEVIS PARTNERS ABOUT PRODUCT NOVELTIES 2014

EYEVIS SUPPORTS FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM CANCER TÜBINGEN

Help for the smallest when they go through hard times: due to this moti-vation the Foundation for Children Suffering from Cancer Tübingen was created. Since 1982 the foundation is committed to children suffering from cancer and their families and supports the work of the pediatric clinic Tübin-gen. This was reason enough for eye-vis to support the work of the founda-tion with a donation of 5,000 Euro.

“To accompany children suffering from can-cer requires everything from their families. Many people reach their limits during that time and not seldomly find themselves in family, psychological and financial predica-ments. Those were decisive reasons for us to relinquish customer presents completely this year and help those families with a do-nation instead”, says Michael W. Nagel, CEO of eyevis GmbH. On Monday, 16 December 2013, he delivered the donation check to Mrs Christine Hoff-mann, vice chairwoman of the foundation. With the money the work of the more than 800 members of the foundation can be sup-ported. The members accompany and look after the children suffering from cancer as well as their parents, siblings and relatives during and after the disease. Since 1987 the foundation maintains a parent house, mainly financed by donations, in which parents of children suffering from cancer are provided with assisted living close to the clinic. More- over, the foundation runs a psychosocial service to be able to look after the children and their families during and after the di-

sease psychologically. For their devotional work the foundation was also acknowledge as charitable, benevolent and especially worthy of support. “We are very glad to be able to help affected families with children and youths suffering from cancer”, Michael W. Nagel emphasizes.

Better informed for optimized custo-mer service: About 50 international partners met in December at the eye-vis headquarters in Reutlingen in or-der to be informed about current no-velties made by eyevis at the two-day kickoff event.

After welcoming our guests, eyevis CEO Michael W. Nagel started the presentations with an outlook on the market and innovati-on strategies of the company for the coming year. Afterwards Nagel handed over to the respective product managers who provided further details about the new products he had mentioned in his outlook.

The eyevis specialists presented new pro-ducts in the areas of software, controller and display technologies like the latest netPIX 4900 graphic controller, the IP de-coder board IPD32HQ, the new intelligent EPU displays with integrated eyeProcessing unit, the new XSN displays with minimum bezel of only 3.7 mm, the new eStreaming solutions eyeGATE and eSTREAMER eS200, the eyeCON V5.1 update as well as the high-quality LCD displays, rear projection cubes, squareTILES and omniSHAPES. The international partners thereby benefitted of the high information depth of product presentations and the practical tips for ope-

ration and application possibilities of eyevis solutions.

In addition, the eyevis engineers gave an overview over the new service concept and showed which regions, sectors and market segments offered the highest potential for growth. At the final Christmas party in fami-liar atmosphere the two-day kickoff event with many inspiring and informative expert discussions found its conclusion.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE FOR PLANNERS, ARCHITECTS AND INTEGRATORS

PLANNERS’ DAY 2013

EYEVIS PLANNERS’ DAY SHOWS TRENDS FOR CONTROL ROOMS AND AV MARKET

Numerous par ticipants benefited from the practical presentations at the eyevis Planners’ Day in Reutlin-gen. Planners, architects and integra-tors from the sectors of control room, AV and event received exclusive infor-mation about the new developments in visualization technology. The parti-cipants were delighted by the high practical relevance of the lectures and presentations. The internal and exter-nal speakers of TransnetBW GmbH or coolux GmbH for instance created a high-quality professional program.

TRENDS IN THE CONTROL ROOM SECTOR

Control rooms and centers more and more evolve into strongly connected and flexible control and decision centers. This was the conclusion of David Mrnak, sales engineer at eyevis. The trend was going toward the combination of single control rooms to lar-ger control centers and the separation of control rooms from the actual object. This becomes possible through the stronger in-

tegration of IT and network technology in visualization, video wall management and signal transmission. In this way not only the presentation of different signal sources, but also the free scaling and placing of signals on the video wall are possible. How this may look in practice, Günther Westhauser of TransnetBW GmbH explains. TransnetBW GmbH monitors the power supply in all of Baden Württemberg from their central con- trol room in Wendlingen near Stuttgart.

TRENDS IN THE AREAS OF DIGITAL SIGNAGE, PRESEN-TATION AND INFORMATION

Reiner Lutz, sales manager at eyevis, pre-sented the most important trends in the AV sector. His prospect for the future: in the me-dium term large format displays will replace projectors in conference rooms due to dif-ferent advantages. The displays will experi-ence faster changes of models. In addition, integrated solutions with embedded com-puters and intelligent displays will become more and more important. After that, there were insights into new developments and

application possibilities of high-resolution LED modules. eyevis is convinced that LED modules will establish themselves in profes-sional digital signage within the next year. Oliver Kilian of coolux GmbH talked about possibilities and requirements of 4K and Ultra HD. His statement: the technical prere-quisites for 4K and QHD have long been pre-sent. The awareness of users of requirements for content, data transmission and signal feed, however, is just emerging.
