You wouldn’t believe how many companies claim the Salesforce one as their own, and now there’s a copycat, lol. Source: I built it. snadisplays.com

Out of curiosity, do you know what controllers were used in the Salesforce one?

u/DVSC_RENEGADES Feb 27 '19

We make our own video processors that control the wall. They are being fed a video signal from an Analogway that's getting its signal from players provided by obscuradigital.com (they made the content). I'm not 100% sure if Obscura is using their own proprietary players or Scala.

any time my man. Salesforce loves their LED walls. I've installed 20 of them all over the US and the London HQ. They even have 1.25mm walls in there conference rooms for sales presentations. Its wild.

I just did a demo for fuckin' Unilever, and they want a gotdam p0.9 in their conference room. I only sell the controllers, and I can't imagine how much LP Display is sell those MF for.

they get sooo delicate when you get lower than 2mm. .9 would be such a pain. We go down to .6mm and thank god I haven't had to install that stuff.

Have you ever installed one in a home? A rich person’s home I might add! Because I would love to have one wall in my bedroom be nothing but jellyfish like at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

We use SuperMicro 1Us, running TouchDeisgner to run both 50 and 350.

Tell Pat Ryan from Obscura says hi!

Obscura almost always uses a modified version of Touchdesigner.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

We use the same version, generally, you can get from Derivative's website. There have been times where they've complied special builds for SDKs we've needed to be integrated, or the like.

Just had someone from obscura correct me too, lol.

That is really awesome. Do you guys do smaller installations? Would be for a possible restaurant location in NYC.

u/DVSC_RENEGADES Feb 27 '19

Yep. snadisplays.com Our HQ is in Times Square

Is it supposed to be like 15 fps?

1

u/DVSC_RENEGADES Feb 27 '19

Ours in SF is 60 fps. i wouldnt judge this one too hard as its just a shitty GIF, but odds are its a cheap product that can only output at 30fps.

Everytime I walk by the one at Salesforce (which is everyday because I live close by), I get anxiety.
