Video Wall Processors

About us

We are a small family-run UK company. We started out in 1987 as a consultancy contracted to design a video wall processor for a leading London equipment hire company and provide them with technical support. In 1993 we decided to specialise in the design and manufacture of video wall equipment initially trading as Media Technologies partnership. In June 2006 we began trading as Media Technologies Ltd. to better handle a huge growth in business. We also established Media Technologies LLC based in Joplin-Missouri to address the North American market.

We are located in Colchester, Essex - the oldest recorded town in Britain - with a base in Joplin, Missouri on famous Route 66.

While many of our competitors have now disappeared - we love what we do and have very low overheads. We intend to stick around as long as there is a market for our video wall equipment.

The Professional ProcessorOur first video wall processor The Professional was launched into the London AV-rental market in 1988. For several years this machine was the most sophisticated processor around because it assigned a complete full-frame dynamic real-time video effects processor to each monitor in the video wall array. Amazing real-time pan and zoom effects were possible with this processor and one was still operating until recently as a licensed game machine in the Nugget Casino, Las Vegas-USA.

The Chameleon ProcessorThe professional was followed by The Chameleon, a general-purpose multiple frame store processor that found a niche market in TV game shows.

To address a wider market including retail signage we developed lower cost video wall processors such as the 'Big Picture' launched in 1996, and The Brick-1 launched in 2000.

The Brick-2 video wall processor launched in 2005 is currently the leading standard definition video wall processor on the market and is the only product you can buy that has composite-video and s-video outputs.

The Brick-2 video wall processorOur latest product is the Brick-HD building on our long experience and targeted towards the professional video signage and retail markets. The Brick-HD is designed with fully programmable hardware that's user upgradeable via software, allowing us to provide free upgrades to new features such as two video sources independently zoomed on the array, feathered projector overlaps, and fractional zoom.
