Userful Corp., a provider of centralized, interactive display software, has made its Userful Network Video Wall control center software available online for anyone to access directly from a Web browser, according to a company announcement.

Last December, Userful unveiled what it called "the world's first video wall to deliver real time, 4K content over the network on up to 25 screens," aimed at simplicity, flexibility and ease of use as key features. Now Userful has put its video wall management tool online, it says "to publicly demonstrate how easy it can be to set up, deploy and manage artistic or grid video walls."

The Userful Network Video Wall controller outputs a broad range of 4K content, including video, HTML5, 3D, Flash and more. The control center also ties in with a variety of third-party content management systems to enable real-time and scheduled live content to the video wall, and it can be accessed from a browser from any device, even a smartphone or tablet, the company said.

Userful has released a short instructional video showing how easy it can be to configure and manage a video wall, and in conjunction, has launched an online self-service test site, according to the announcement. The control center is designed to make it simple to navigate, align and color-calibrate a video wall – either in a grid layout, or an artistic-style video wall with a heterogeneous mix of individual displays placed at any angle – the company said.

"For years video walls have been complex, expensive and intimidating," said Tim Griffin, founder and CTO of Userful, in the announcement. "We set out to change all that by delivering a video wall that is flexible and powerful but also comes at an affordable price. It's the easiest to use solution on the market, and we are ready to prove that. Now anyone can use our online tool and see how easy deploying and managing video walls can be."
