Front Pictures, a multimedia company based in Ukraine, helped to showcase Impressionists, a touring media art exhibit debuting in Seville, Spain, by teaming with Matrox QuadHead2Go multi-monitor controllers, according to a press release.

Front Pictures designed a plug-and-play, standalone appliance capable of driving multiple full HD displays, as well as being compact enough to be quickly disassembled and reassembled to meet the travel needs of the digital exhibition. They recently teamed with Matrox, a video and components producer, to create Impressionists, featuring the work of Renoir, Van Gogh and others.

"Matrox has provided our go-to video wall technologies for some time now," Yuri Kostenko, Front Pictures CEO said in the release. "We have used the Matrox TripleHead2Go triple-display appliance for many years now, and when Matrox released the QuadHead2Go, it was perfect timing. We had been looking for a higher-density-output device to support more displays from a small footprint, and we knew that Matrox's multi-screen technology would perfectly suit our demanding installations."

The Matrox PowerWall software included with QuadHead2Go allows Front Pictures to install and customize configurations, making deployment simple.

The Impressionists exhibition features 14 screens – each being 4.4 meters in height – spanning 116 meters in total. Content for the exhibition created by Front Pictures is hosted on the company's Screenberry media server. From there, the content is routed to six QuadHead2Go Q155 appliances – each capturing an HDMI video signal from the media server for display across four HDMI-equipped projectors.

QuadHead2Go devices connect to a total of 21 projectors that cast the ultra-high-quality video onto the screens across 40,320 by 1080 pixels for a total resolution of 43.5 megapixels.

Kostenko said QuadHead2Go has enabled the company to push the boundaries of what a visual experience can be with the convenience of a flexible, easy-to-deploy, multi-screen appliance.

"With its ability to capture and display superior-quality video content, Matrox QuadHead2Go video wall controllers have enabled us to deliver a truly sublime art viewing experience," he said in the release.
