Selecting the Host PC specifications for standard Digital Signage
The
specifications for the host PC will depend on the type of content and
the number of different content
Please see below a number of use cases and the relevant PC specs that are recommended for them.
Example use cases |
Up to 4 different content
channels
|
Up to 6 different content
channels
|
Up to 8 different content channels
|
Up to 12 different content channels |
Up to 16 different content channels |

Please note:
1. Monitors AnyWhere can be installed on a PC or a virtual machine (VM).
For more information on VM see our guide : how to install Monitors AnyWhere on a virtual machine.
2. For all cases it’s recommended to use a Gigabit switch to connect the zero clients and controlling PC.

Our solution was tested successfully with the following video cards:
· Intel HD/UHD Graphics – Recommended for mainly static content use cases
· NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 / 1660 Ti – Recommend for up to 6 full HD streams
· NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060/1070 / 1080 Ti – Recommend for up to 8 full HD streams
· NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060/2070 / 2080 Ti – Recommend for up to 8 full HD streams
· NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070/3080/3090 – Recommend for up to 12 full HD streams
· AMD Radeon R7 – Recommend for up to 6 full HD streams
Selecting the Host PC specifications for a Video Wall setup
The
specifications for the host PC depend on the type of content, the size of
the video wall and the

Example use cases |
3x1,4x1,2x2, 3x2 |
4x2,3x3, 4x4, 10x1 |
5x5, 6x5, 10x2 |

Please note:
1. Running a video wall on a virtual machine (VM) is not recommended.
Our
endpoint devices (zero clients and MAWi Players) rely mostly on the CPU and GPU
of the hardware
2. For all cases it’s recommended to use at least a Gigabit switch connecting the endpoint devices and host PC.
In cases where more than 16 are being used, we recommend using a 10gig switch and NIC on the PC.

Our solution was tested successfully with the following video cards:
· Intel HD/UHD Graphics – Recommended for mostly static content use cases
· NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 / 1660 Ti – Recommend for 6K grid and creative video walls
· NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060/1070/1080 Ti – Recommend for 6K grid and creative video walls
· NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070/2080 Ti – Recommend for 6K grid and creative video walls

Please note:
Video walls, Grid or Creative are supported only by MAWi Spacewall and Zero.
Selecting the Host PC specifications for Screen Grouping (cloning)
The
option to group screens and mirror the same content on all screens in that
group is available
The specifications for the host PC will depend on the type of content and the number of screens per group.
Please see below a number of use cases and the relevant PC specs that are recommended for them.
Example use cases |
Create 4 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content |
Create 8 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content |
Create 16 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content |
