Emerson is a diversified global manufacturing and technology company that offers products and

services in the areas of network power, process management, industrial automation, climate

technologies, and the commercial and residental solutions businesses. Recognized widely for

its engineering capabilities and management excellence, Emerson is proud of its ability to bring

technology and engineering together to create solutions for customers. Reinforcing this brand, the

lobby of its corporate headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri incorporates an Extron Quantum® Elite

videowall processor as a critical component of the lobby’s cutting-edge videowall display. Here

visitors view visually compelling corporate content and the latest information about Emerson

technologies.

Evolving Video Processing RequirementsEmerson has maintained cutting-edge display technology in its lobby, updating its system twice.

The current installation is the third videowall system installed in the main lobby. The initial system

incorporated a VECTOR videowall processor with projection cubes. The second videowall did

not include a videowall processor, and instead incorporated projection cubes with internal scaling

capabilities. In the latest upgrade, system integrator Innovative Technology Group sought a processor

that could not only display Emerson’s corporate video content with best-of-class scaling, but could

also drive 48 Christie MicroTiles® at their maximum resolution. This challenging requirement was met

by Extron’s Quantum Elite videowall processor. Capable of processing up to 3.5 billion pixels per

second, Quantum Elite processors easily scale and magnify images across displays with high pixel

density such as Christie MicroTiles.

“Quantum Elite’s ability to match the high pixel density of the MicroTiles was a key feature that helped make the installation a success.”

from a group of pre-programmed window layouts. The Quantum

Elite Processor responds to control commands with no system lag,

allowing users to quickly and efficiently operate videowall systems

in real-time.

The Right ChoiceThe Quantum Elite videowall processor’s best-in-class image quality

coupled with its ability to drive high pixel density displays made it

an ideal solution for Emerson’s state-of-the-art videowall. It also met

the challenging requirements more cost-effectively than alternative

processors in the same class. Therefore, it was a clear choice for the

system designer. “Quantum Elite’s ability to match the high pixel density

of the MicroTiles was a key feature that helped make the installation a

success,” says George Brosie of Innovative Technology Group.

Quantum Elite Processing Makes MicroTiles Shine The main videowall is composed of 48 MicroTiles in an

8x6 array. The videowall has a total display resolution

of 5760x3240; each individual tile has a resolution of

720x540. The 48 displays are driven by 12 Christie

ECU processors, with each ECU providing signals

to four MicroTiles. Image delivery to the 3x4 array of

ECUs is accomplished with one Extron Quantum Elite

615 videowall processor equipped with 12 outputs.

Selecting an output resolution of 1400x1050 allowed

each output from the Quantum Elite to closely match

the 1440x1080 cumulative resolution of each four-tile

set, minimizing the scaling performed by the ECUs.

Corporate content, Emerson global promotional

material, and news broadcasts from three PCs and

one satellite tuner are supplied to the Quantum Elite

through four DVI inputs. Two of the PCs have a resolution of 1920x1200,

with the third at 1920x1080, and the satellite tuner operates with a

resolution of 720p.

Quantum’s flexible source windowing capabilities allow this system’s

four sources to be positioned anywhere on the videowall. These

sources can be tiled, overlapped, and placed inside one another for

picture-in-picture presentation. Quantum’s patented scaling engine

ensures that the PC and satellite sources are displayed with superior

picture quality, whether a single source is upscaled to fill the entire

MicroTile display, or multiple sources are downscaled below their native

resolution in a tiled arrangement. Included with Quantum Elite videowall

processors is intuitive control software for setup, configuration, and

system operation. Users can select sources and window arrangements
