Philadelphia Video Wall Packs 10M Pixels Into 27-x-87-Foot Display

Comcast Center Video Wall
When you're Comcast and you have some serious cash to throw at an installation in your new Philadelphia-based Comcast Center, you go all out on a $22 million high-definition video wall, of course. The giant display measures 27 by 87-feet and mashes 10 million pixels across modules linked by a central system that contains 27,000-gigabytes (GB) of info, six DX700 LED digitizers, seven Encore video processors, and three Matrixpro routers.

So what does it do? It's kind of a giant screensaver that may get old over time, if you ask us. It displays the time, shows figures pushing the panels open, and plays with the space in surreal, 3D-esque animations that are, admitedly, fun to watch. Check the video after the break.
