4 by 4 = 12mp
After I've sold a number of the Eizo terminals to some friends I started making plans for a very large photo frame. Because I have plenty of screens I designed a plan for a 4 by 4 frame.
By using 16 screens I could maintiain the 4x3 aspect ratio of most of my pictures. Next to planning the size and weight of the final product, I also started making function plans with a friend for a .NET application custom build for this frame.
Because the resolution of each LCD panel is 1024x768 it was not hard to calculate the number of total pixels: 4096x3072, and this is ofcourse 12 megapixels!
The software should run on a single screen and able to retrieve a picture from a remote server. It should be able to communicate with other terminals so that it can time the picture views. Last, it should be able to show a piece of a picture. With the correct server configuration it should then be possible to display a single picture using all screens at the same time.
I quickly dissambled a large number of LCD panels from the Terminals and went out to buy some building materials. After some measuring and trial-and-error DIY work I got this with 12 screens:
From the back the whole thing looks like this:
There should be enough space inbetween the pillars to mount all electronics for each screen...
