Video walls have become indispensable in operation centers, offering a centralized hub for critical information in environments such as law enforcement, military command centers, tactical operation centers, global operation centers, and emergency response teams. These dynamic displays are not just screens—they are powerful tools for enhancing situational awareness, improving decision-making, and driving collaboration. Organizations need to optimize both the technology and the content they display to maximize their value. Here’s how you can get the most out of your video wall solution.

Understand Your Mission and Design Accordingly

The first step in optimizing your video wall is tailoring its functionality to your mission’s unique needs. For law enforcement, this might mean displaying real-time surveillance feeds, crime mapping, and automated alerts to help monitor unfolding incidents.

In military environments, it’s essential to prioritize tactical maps, live drone feeds, and intelligence overlays, ensuring immediate access to mission data and information.

Operation centers used by large technology companies or global transportation companies like Maersk benefit from dashboards that consolidate KPIs and performance metrics into easily digestible visuals as well as monitoring social media, stock markets, and other necessary trends for analysis, while emergency operation centers need content that adapts to rapidly changing situations, such as live weather tracking and resource allocation maps.

Prioritize Real-Time Updates and Accessibility

Real-time information is at the core of effective video wall usage in operation centers. To support quick decision-making, your content must be updated seamlessly and presented in a format that’s instantly understandable. Clear visuals, bold fonts, and high-contrast designs help operators process critical data instantly, especially in high-pressure scenarios. Ensuring that your system supports multilingual displays or uses universally recognized symbols (like hazard and biohazard symbols, clocks, map pins, a medical cross, or the symbol of an ambulance, fire truck or police car to indicate emergency response vehicles) can also enhance accessibility for diverse teams working collaboratively.

Leverage Content Management to Meet Workflow Demands

The flexibility of your video wall technology is only as good as the content management system behind it. A robust system allows operators to customize what they see based on their specific tasks. For example, law enforcement teams might want to sync live feeds with GIS mapping tools to monitor incidents in real time, while military operations require integrated intelligence data layered on interactive maps for strategic planning. Enterprise teams can benefit from dashboards that dynamically update financial metrics alongside productivity data, while emergency response teams need systems capable of prioritizing alerts for natural disasters or crises as they occur.

Enhance Situational Awareness with Smart Integrations

Operation centers thrive on actionable insights. Video walls should be integrated with tools that enhance situational awareness, such as AI-driven analytics, predictive modeling, and geo-tagged visuals. In law enforcement, for instance, heatmaps can provide insights into crowd control or track criminal activity hotspots. Military teams can use live operational dashboards paired with satellite data to make critical decisions on the battlefield. Emergency response teams may rely on AI tools to analyze traffic patterns during an evacuation, while enterprises benefit from predictive analytics that highlight trends in performance metrics.

Secure, Reliable Systems are Non-Negotiable

Given the sensitive nature of the information displayed in operation centers, security must be a top priority. A video wall system optimized for defense-grade security ensures data integrity and prevents breaches. Centralized video wall control software can streamline updates across multiple command centers while maintaining strict security protocols. Backup systems and redundancy measures also ensure continuous operation, even in the event of hardware or network failures.

Adapt to the Environment

Video wall technology must be optimized for the physical environment in which it operates. Military and emergency operation centers often require displays that are more geared towards rugged environments to withstand harsh conditions, whether in mobile and tactical command units or outdoor settings. For enterprise and law enforcement centers, displays should be calibrated to accommodate various lighting conditions, ensuring content remains visible without overexposure or glare. Additionally, the viewing distance and operator layout should inform the size and configuration of the video wall to avoid unnecessary viewing strain on users.

Invest in Training and Ongoing Iteration

Even the most advanced video wall technology is only as effective as the people who use it. Comprehensive training ensures that operators understand how to utilize the system’s features to their fullest potential. Simulation exercises are particularly useful in testing how content performs under real-world conditions, providing valuable insights into areas for improvement. Feedback loops between operators and system administrators can drive iterative updates, ensuring the video wall adapts to evolving needs and workflows.

How to Manage Your Video Wall Workflows with Haivision Command 360 https://www.haivision.com/blog/enterprise-video-answers/video-wall-workflows-haivision-command-360/ Wed, 26 Feb 2025 16:00:28 +0000 https://www.haivision.com/?p=46420

Operation and command centers are essential for enabling teams and organizations to make swift and precise decisions during critical situations. For these decisions to be effective, operators and managers need access to the right information, presented in the correct format, and available in real-time.

In our previous blog, How to Manage Your Video Wall Content with Haivision Command 360, we learned that Command 360 has UI features that help users easily manage content on their video walls. However, the user experience goes beyond managing individual sources. In this blog, we will show how Command 360 extends the same ethos of ease-of-use and simplicity to the management of the entire system environment. As a result, Haivision’s Command 360 integrates seamlessly into your operation center and helps support your team with any workflow and processes you already have in place.  

Let’s delve into how that works in practice: 

Workflow Management Features 

Command 360 has three main features that contribute to simplified and efficient workflow management in operation centers; Layouts, Behaviors, and Rooms

Layouts
There are many reasons why content needs to be arranged on a video wall in a specific configuration, whether it’s the time of day, the operators on duty, or the type of event being responded to. In all these instances, it’s imperative that command center operators have complete control over what content is displayed on the video wall and in what orientation. Command 360 solves this problem by allowing administrators to create and save various arrangements of content types and sizes as layouts that you can access at any time. 

 

Layouts enable distinct video wall configurations for different functions, roles, or points of view. For instance, an emergency operations center (EOC) can quickly toggle between different incident response scenarios at the click of a button. Layouts empower users to make changes while still actively using the system with no delays to updates or a need to log out and then come back into the system with the new view. 

Behaviors
Often, the varying functions of an operation center are cyclical, allowing the needs and schedule of operators to be predicted ahead of time. For example, during the shift change between day and night operations, the assets requiring monitoring, or the role of the operation center, might change. To aid in these situations, users can leverage Command 360’s Behavior functionality to create unique macros within the system. This enables non-technical users to create a single button within the user interface to execute a sequence of actions. These macros can be scheduled down to the minute in the local time zone, helping automate processes within the system. Here’s how they work. 

 

Behaviors can be used to mute or change audio sources, adjust camera orientations, add, remove, or replace assets on the video wall, control third-party devices, or rotate between layouts as necessary. Behaviors empower users to incorporate system automation without third-party custom-programmed solutions. This improves the overall efficiency of the operation center while reducing long-term costs associated with system reprogramming. 

Rooms
One of the core benefits of Command 360 is its ability to display and control content across multiple sites from a centralized location. To make this process as easy as possible for system administrators and operation center managers, one of the central UI pillars of the platform is Rooms – a management feature that helps organize the video wall and all peripheral displays into separate areas of the UI. With Rooms, users in specific areas of the operation center can access the displays and content sources relevant to their needs. Here’s Rooms being used within the UI: 

 

Although Rooms seems like a simple concept, its power is fully realized when combined with Layouts and Behaviors. Both features can be defined and executed in individual Rooms within the operation center or across the entire site as needed. No matter the situation, Command 360 users can operate in their designated area of the operation center without interrupting the workflow of others. 

Restricting Workflow Management with User Access

As we’ve seen, Command 360 has workflow features embedded within the UI that can transform the entire operation center with the click of a button. Given this level of control and its wider implications, it’s imperative for operation centers to manage user permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to these features. To address this, Command 360 supports both user and group permissions to restrict access to content sources, displays, and UI elements as necessary. This provides the most flexible and comprehensive access model for operation centers, ensuring that individual feature access is limited to those who need it.

Adapting to Operation Center Workflows

A video wall is a vital element of any operation center. It should be able to adapt to the needs and workflows of the users within the center, becoming a tool that enhances collaboration and operational efficiency, leading to faster remediation of mission-critical situations.
