TechRockies interview with Mersive CEO Rob Balgley

Last month, Denver-based Mersive Technologies (www.mersive.com) announced it had raised a round of funding for the firm’s technology for managing multiple projection displays and turning them into one, seamless image. We spoke with Rob Balgley, the firm’s CEO and the former CEO of SkyeTek, to learn more about what Mersive is all about, and how he got involved with the company.

Last week AMD launched the ATI FirePro V9800, which it hopes will help bring down the cost of large scale visualisation on powerwalls by driving up to six HD displays from a single graphics card.

The theme continued this week with the news that Mersive Technologies, a specialist in so-called ‘beyond HD display solutions’, has launched a new display system called the M-Series. It uses six HD projectors, which sit at the rear of the system, to produce one seamless image that is stitched together.

The 11-megapixel display delivers a whopping 157-inch diagonal image, almost six times the resolution of HD, while using a footprint that is only 24 inches deep. According to Mersive, the big selling point of the M-Series is that it “eliminates the need for room reconfiguration and specialist HVAC and building infrastructure.” The company also reckons that the system costs 70 percent less than a typical 11-megapixel display. It uses Mersive’s SOL Harmony display management software engine that automatically aligns, color balances, and maintains image quality across multiple projectors.

Imagine having one of those in your living room to hook up to your PC gaming system

If 4K resolution isn’t enough, Mersive is willing to show you how to blend a 5 x 3 array of relatively low cost HD projectors into a whopping 27 million pixels. The blending calibration for geometry, brightness and color is automatic and takes about 30 minutes for the 5 x 3 array.

Professional AV BUYERS' GUIDE

Mersive will lead the creation of a standard that is hardware independent yet will address the challenge of managing media on displays that are very different from a desktop monitor or HD television.

New Developments in Display Technologies mean Cost Savings in Simulation, Changing Market Demand.” “Displays have not undergone the same technical revolution as other aspects of computing. Even today, display resolutions beyond high-definition (HD) are sufficiently expensive and complex that only select companies and industries have access to them. Many ask how this lower cost can be obtained. The answer is through software that uses cameras to automatically align multiple projectors into a single, seamless display of unlimited resolution, size, and form. In doing this, software is able to compose new display landscapes out of many off-the-shelf displays. This allows any resolution, form-factor, and size to be achieved at relatively low-cost. Displays can be constructed with little expertise and can be easily reconfigured as needed. The next step in this evolution is to redefine how these display landscapes can be used.

Imaging and display technologies have evolved over the years, and today a 50 inch HDTV certainly looks great. But imagine being able to easily view content at 16 times that resolution,” said Randall Stevens, CEO of Mersive, a leading display technology company. “By combinging NVIDIA’s industry-leading visualization solutions with Mersive’s auto display calibration technology, we can deploy affordable and reliable ultra-resolution environments.
