I'm Nick Matthews, director of business development with Vewall. Vewall provides solutions for video wall monitoring and management, whether it's a single wall or an entire ecosystem of displays throughout a facility, we have an easy toolkit for delivering all of your types of video from wherever they're coming from to any number of displays. For a long time, video wall processors have been a big complicated box. You've needed a big video wall processor where you gather all that video together combine it into that single bubble so you can rearrange the video and spin it out to a wall. And while that worked well in the days of baseband video, That box is big and expensive and it's a single point of failure. So now with the power of IP video, we can get rid of that box. So it's not part of the equation anymore in distributing video. Our core products are TRx, which is the management software that helps direct traffic to all of your video destinations and pack, which is our video wall decoding node. Around that, we have some peripherals like control panels, encoders, some other accessories. So whether it's a direct view LED wall, a large format single display, we can provide the right pixels to the right spots on those displays. We're still kind of in the frontier of of IP video. There's so much more that we can do with moving traffic over a network, and that's still being discovered. Every few months, we have a firmware release on our products where we update add new features in addition to, you know, general fixes and things. But each time we have customers saying, Hey, what if you were able to do this or, hey, how can we move this content over here? And we find creative new ways to get that done. For example, we had a user with a large IP KBM network. And they said, hey, we like this solution, but we can't afford to buy two hundred encoders for all of your content. We called up the KBM company, and we decode that KVM on our products. So the ability to leverage this content in more and more ways is really exciting throughout mission critical spaces. It helps bring down the cost and make smaller control rooms a more viable solution for more users.
