Project Overview
Clarity Matrix Video Wall is Key to Efficiency of Demanding Control Room
EPB (Electric Power Board) is the municipal utility for Hamilton County, Tennessee. It takes power generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and provides it to 170,000 residential, commercial, government and industrial customers, making EPB one of the largest publicly-owned power distributors in the country. Its state-of-the-art EPB Control Center in Chattanooga is the hub of a 100 percent fiber optic network, which delivers electricity and also feeds two large Clarity™ Matrix LCD Video Walls that operators use to keep constant tabs on every aspect of the electrical grid and ensure that customers receive reliable, cost-effective power.
Operators also employ the Clarity™ VCS, a flexible and easy-to-use video wall processor, which allows the smallest data point — and there are more than 2,000 of them in this network - to be displayed on a portion or all of a single Clarity Matrix display, or scaled up to fill the entire 40-unit video wall in 1080p resolution. This gives a single operator or the entire control team quick, clear, instantaneous visibility to any point in the network where there could be a problem.
