A good video wall is crucial in a control room for several reasons:
Situational awareness: a video wall gives a clear view of the situation. This might mean live images from security cameras, maps of incident locations, graphs and other operational data. It enables control room operators to react fast to changing circumstances and emergency situations.
Efficient monitoring: a video wall in the control room enables operators to watch several video sources at once, so that they can monitor them more efficiently and detect suspicious activities or emergency situations more quickly.
Supports decision-making: a clear presentation of information on a video wall facilitates the decision-making process. Operators can analyse relevant information quickly and make decisions based on an overall view of the situation.
Better teamwork: a video wall makes teamwork easier by offering a shared visual context for all the team members in the control room. This facilitates communication, coordination and cooperation between operators during crisis situations.
Flexibility and adjustability: modern video walls often allow several content sources to be displayed, with adjustable layouts and interactive data manipulation. That enables operators to adjust the display to what they need at that moment.
