We make and sell these controlling computers, a unit the size of a small briefcase, and it splits a video signal up into multiple signals to create a wall. One source can be split into as many as 64 different sources, in case you wanted an 8 by 8 wall, or something huge like that.

But it's not always easy to see how the whole thing fits together. Also there are always issues that come about when people are trying to convert the signal from one type to another.

In the case of the TV station, they bought a box to convert their old standard def signal into an HDMI signal, and then they converted that to DVI to use our box. The gear that they used to do the first conversion didn't do it in a way that supported a digital signal that our box could interpret correctly.

In the case of the World Series, they had correctly built content that was a moving stripe, and couldn't figure out from our setup guide how to build a 3x1 horizontal wall to show the stripe.
