Solutions such as the Userful platform, and its integration to LG webOS-enabled displays, allow digitally transformed enterprises to visualize IT-managed services from virtually anywhere. Delivering a solution that is built on standard IT protocols for the aggregation, distribution and management of AV and IoT sources provides integrators and end users a powerful, streamlined display network management experience that puts available information at their fingertips – whether it’s providing video and data through realtime streaming protocols (RTSP) for control rooms or managing 8K content across hundreds of displays. Information can be fed to a center’s digital displays from virtually any number of sources, including control, alarm or HVAC systems, live surveillance cameras, environmental sensors and more. The most robust visual management systems then allow all the info to be shared externally with first responder agencies or stakeholders. With use cases such as a university, the private entity may want to provide local police or fire agencies with the ability to access critical information from within the university SOC. By deploying a software-defined platform such as Userful’s solution, all that is needed is a LG WebOS enabled display and/or access to a HTML 5 enabled browser that is connected to the local area network (LAN) directly or via VPN to view real-time information that is broadcast from the SOC. Future Proofing for Reliability, Lower Costs As with any technology-heavy space, the specific components and organization of SOCs can vary widely. A new generation of advanced video wall and commercial large format displays that leverage intelligent software solutions are poised to help improve performance, reduce costs, save energy and simplify installation and long-term maintenance. Consolidated display and software solutions can help reduce the total number of components required, which helps simplify designs and can reduce total energy use. Knowing that these monitoring systems must exhibit bulletproof reliability for uninterrupted 24/7 operation, it’s vital to deploy commercial grade displays that maximize visual performance, longevity and interoperability. Another key factor in ongoing operations is whether technology is proprietary and how easy it is to integrate with future components or systems. By relying on non-proprietary systems with powerful APIs, operators can better prepare for and manage equipment upgrades and expansions, further reducing costs and reducing complexity to deliver greater value and usability. o Chris Feldman is senior business development manager, LG Business Solutions USA.
