Overview
A leading operator in gaming and integrated leisure that operates sports betting, casinos, and gaming channels required a powerful yet flexible system to distribute 40 live video sources to 40 different destinations, including sports bars, control rooms, and event spaces across the country.
Their goal was to simplify control and routing, while maintaining maximum flexibility, real-time performance, and high reliability in a 24/7 operational environment where speed and stability are critical.
Project Objective
The operators needed a centralized control solution capable of handling dozens of simultaneous signals with minimal latency, and to easily switch, monitor, and distribute them across multiple outputs.
Additionally, they wanted the ability to create and send custom multiview layouts to sports bars and remote locations, allowing staff to monitor multiple games or events on the same screen, all without adding extra external processors or complicated setups.
As the product area operates non-stop, 24 hours a day, reliability was a key factor. The system needed to be rugged, hardware-based, and independent from any PC or operating system to ensure reliability, high image quality and high image processing.
The Solution: ScreenBridge 40x40 Integration
Craltech’s new ScreenBridge 40x40 was the perfect fit for this demanding application, offering an all-in-one solution that combines Matrix, Multiviewer, and KVM functionalities in a single, compact, and fully hardware-based device.
Built on FPGA technology, ScreenBridge guarantees real-time video processing with zero operating system dependencies, ensuring a stable, reliable performance 24/7, ideal for mission-critical environments.
With its 40 inputs and 40 outputs HDMI, the ScreenBridge enabled the operator to centralize all video signal management within one unified platform.
The integrated Matrix feature allowed fast and flexible routing between any source and any destination, while the powerful Multiview engine made it possible to generate and distribute custom multiview layouts directly to output screens, providing dynamic monitoring configurations for each venue.
Why This Matters
The ScreenBridge 40x40 has become the core of the product area , bringing together what was once a complex, multi-device setup into a streamlined and efficient centralized system.
- 24/7 reliable operation thanks to FPGA-based hardware design
- 40x40 Matrix routing, Multiview, and KVM in a single unit
- Centralized management of all sources and destinations
- Reduced installation complexity and rack space optimization
- Custom, intuitive control via Stream Deck interface
- Fast reconfiguration of outputs and layouts in real time
Simplified Installation and Space Optimization
With this solution, the operators were able to eliminate the need for multiple external devices such as separate multiviewers, external KVM controllers, and matrix switchers.
As ScreenBridge integrates all these functions into one single unit, they achieved a cleaner and more efficient installation, dramatically reducing cabling and power consumption.
In fact, the implementation allowed them to remove an entire 19” rack cabinet previously filled with multiple individual devices, now fully replaced by a single ScreenBridge 40x40 unit.
From Chaos to Control. Customized Control with Stream Deck Integration
To ensure maximum efficiency, Craltech provided a custom Stream Deck configuration tailored to the customer’s workflow.
This intuitive control interface allows operators to recall layouts, re-route sources, and switch outputs with just a few clicks, providing instant visual feedback and real-time control over all 40 outputs.
The result is a fast, smart, and user-friendly control environment, perfectly adapted to the customer’s needs, enabling them to react quickly to live events, promotions, or content changes across their entire network of displays.
Looking Ahead
This deployment showcases how Craltech’s ScreenBridge continues to redefine flexibility, reliability, and control in professional AV environments, offering powerful integration and simplified operation for even the most demanding multi-source applications.
