Why Wall Controller Systems

Built for the applications that can't afford to fail

Freely mix Xtreme capture, XtremeImage graphics and ActiveSQX decode cards in the same chassis to match exactly what a wall needs

PCIe 3.0 switched backplane gives every slot up to 8GB/s of bandwidth — no bottleneck from cards competing for the bus

Built for 24/7 duty: redundant hot-swap PSU, hot-swappable fans, and Wall Monitor health alerting on every chassis

Expand later without replacing the system — add an expansion chassis rather than a second full controller

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between the 5-slot and 11-slot VSNV3?

Count every capture and graphics card the wall needs on day one, add a couple of spare slots for growth, then pick whichever chassis comfortably covers that total. If it fits in 5 slots, that's the more cost-effective and compact choice; once past 5, go straight to the 11-slot rather than planning an immediate expansion.

What's the difference between the current VSNV3 and the VSN1192?

VSNV3 is the current 12th-generation platform and the right default for new projects. The VSN1192 is a previous-generation, dual-Xeon chassis kept in the range specifically for its higher 128GB memory ceiling — it runs Windows 10 LTSC only and needs a different expansion chassis (VSN1100X) than the current range.

Do I need Express9 or Express11 as well as a VSN chassis?

No — Express9-G3 and Express11-G3 are standalone expansion backplanes for scaling a system beyond one chassis's slot count, not something added to every VSN build. Only specify one if the project genuinely needs more slots than a single 5- or 11-slot VSNV3 provides.

Which processor tier should I choose?

Xeon for steady-state 24/7 monitoring workloads or where the 128GB memory ceiling is needed; Core i7/i9 where multiple simultaneous 4K streams or heavier graphics processing are involved.
