dVnet

dVnet™ is a pixel mapper, providing digital video-to-network conversion. It is available as software-only, or optionally with a server. dVnet is aimed at retail and architectural applications where a media facade or pixel display is to be controlled by video, while avoiding the complexity of a media server.

dVnet is available in several variants depending on the number of Universes and size of the required pixel array – see table in the product detail below.

Detail

dVnet™ is a pixel mapper, providing digital video-to-network conversion. It is available as software-only, or optionally with a server. dVnet is aimed at retail and architectural applications where a media facade or pixel display is to be controlled by video, while avoiding the complexity of a media server.

dVnet is all a light artist needs to convert their video creation or HDMI source to light. Configuration is straightforward, with less than ten mouse clicks required to render video to a media wall.

dVnet can also play back video clips loaded onto its internal hard drive, either manually or using its play list manager. Output is via a gigabit network connection with Art-Net 4, sACN E1.31 and KiNet protocols supported.

dVnet is available in several variants depending on the number of Universes and size of the required pixel array, as shown in the table below.

Below are some example videos showing dVnet converting video files onto a pixel grid.

Example: 20,000 RGB Pixels (200w x 100h)

Example: A Circular Grid

Example: 5,000 RGB Pixels (100w x 50h)
