System Components
The OMNIS is a specialized rack mount network appliance designed to manage large arrays of video walls. It
aggregates up to 200 video processors into a single map view. The 'at a glance’ real-time system status
information can monitor a wide range of system status information including monitoring the temperature, link
status, power supply status, and integrity of data owing into and out of display devices. This assists, with
rapid diagnosis and in some cases resolving issues before a failure impacts the visual quality of the display.
The OMNIS provides four key services:
• System overview of all connected devices
• Notications of events for connected devices
• Quick access to common tasks (Brightness, screen blanking)
• In depth device status details
