Patent number: 10600384Abstract: An electronic system having an assembly of a plurality of electronic devices each driven by a local power unit and a power sequencer control circuit for controlling the power on or off operation of the local power units. The electronic devices can be for example display units of a display wall. An advantage of such an assembly, e.g. a tiled display or display wall, is that a low level or as little energy as possible is dissipated by the local power units such as DC power supplies associated with the electronic devices, e.g. tiles of a display, and the associated “housekeeping” electronics. A further advantage is a limitation of the inrush current at start-up.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignees: BARCO NV, BARCO CONTROL ROOMS GMBHInventors: Mahesh Chandra Joshi, Marcos Otero-Gensheimer, Subhash Chandra Dhyani

Publication number: 20160357493Abstract: A method and a device for synchronizing the display of video frames from a video stream of a video insertion of a video image source, which is simultaneously presented on two or more displays of a display wall. The synchronous, tearing free display is realized by means of a video frame queue for the video frames, a mediation function which is commonly used by the network graphics processors involved in the display of the video insertion and which, during a mediation period that extends over a plurality of vertical retraces of the display wall, determines which video frame is displayed by the displays and establishes a balance between the vertical display frequency and the video stream frequency, and synchronization messages which are sent before the start of a mediation period by a master network graphics processor of a display to the slave network graphics processors of the other displays.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2013Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Barco Control Rooms GmbHInventor: Udo ZERWAS
