Configuring video display walls used to be a complex process, but with the MuraControl for iPad app from Matrox Graphics, unlocking the power and flexibility of the Mura MPX Series video display cards has never been easier.  This iPad app is the perfect companion for setting up and configuring any of Trenton’s Matrox-validated video wall controllers, including the TVC4403, which supports up to six Mura MPX Series cards, providing up to 24 hi-definition video inputs and 24 hi-definition outputs.

This instructional video demonstrates the ease with which an end user can configure a video wall with just a few simple touch commands.  Users have the ability to switch, scale and manage input sources using an iPad and wireless network connection, and their commands affect the video wall in real time.

Drag, drop, and tap on windows to create unique media configurations on the video wall, or choose from a large number of previously saved layouts to switch instantly from one layout to another. Add, remove, or resize inputs using the icons and slide bar located at the bottom of the screen.

Functions supported on MuraControl Version 1.01:

  • Pinch to zoom in or out of the simulated video wall layout
  • Use two-finger scroll to navigate the layout in zoom mode
  • Double-tap with two fingers on the screen in zoom mode to return to the original-sized view
  • Add or remove inputs by tapping on the ‘Plus’ and ‘Trash’ icons respectively
  • Tap on inputs to select them, or drag and drop to reposition them
  • Intuitively resize inputs by selecting one and then using the slide bar
  • Manually resize inputs by selecting one, tapping on the ‘Settings’ icon, and entering the custom input size using four separate fields
  • Select pre-saved layouts by tapping on the ‘Demo’ arrow
  • Lock the position and size of windows by selecting a window and tapping the ‘Padlock’ icon
  • Tap and hold a layout to copy it
  • Work on and preview new layouts before implementing them using the ‘Current’ on/off switch
  • Overlap windows and control the Z ordering by tapping and holding an overlapped window to bring up the Z order menu1

Everyone has experienced the nightmare of automated call routing, where the options presented are often vague and many layers must be traversed before ever reaching someone who can help resolve your problem.  But that’s not how we operate at Trenton Systems, where every call is answered by a real person who will connect you with an account manager or technical support engineer.

Technical-Support-QuestionsHaving designed and manufactured mission critical computer systems for over 35 years, at Trenton we understand the importance of getting to the bottom of your technical issue, so instead of reaching a call center located on another continent, our technical support personnel are based in the same building as the team of electrical and mechanical engineers who designed the product in the first place.

Another thing to remember is that we provide free phone support for the entire life of your product, so no matter how many years have gone by, you can always speak with our technical support engineers, and no matter how difficult the support issue, we will work together to resolve it as fast as possible.

But our commitment to customer service goes beyond answering the phone, which is why we offer a 5-year factory warranty on all board-level products designed and manufactured by Trenton Systems.

Customer Support KeyboardWhile all of Trenton’s single board computers, PCI Express backplanes and embedded motherboards utilize the latest industry standard technology and long-life Intel multi-core processors to ensure the broadest level of compatibility with any third-party hardware, there are situations in which a support issue highlights the need for a custom solution.

One of the most common examples involves the need to provide a custom BIOS.  As we maintain complete system BIOS control on all board-level products, and employ our own BIOS engineers, Trenton is in a unique position to resolve issues involving compatibility with a range of I/O cards.

So rest assured, that when you by a customer-driven computing solution from Trenton Systems you’re also getting the best customer support team in the industry, and should you ever encounter an issue, there’s a real person waiting to help on the other end of the line.  You can also check out the support page on our new website for links to drivers and datasheets.
