Polywall is proud to introduce the latest version of its video wall management software – Polywall 3.10 – shaped by the real-world needs of modern mission-critical environments.
Today’s organizations are moving rapidly through digital transformation with their control rooms evolving into dedicated decision-making hubs – KPI rooms, Data-Driven Decision-Making Rooms, multi-purpose command centers, etc. - with dozens of dashboards and web applications on video walls. Smooth visualization is becoming vital. Whether it’s for day-to-day operations, high-level executive briefings, or guest demonstrations, the ability to flexibly open and control large numbers of browser sources on a video wall is no longer optional — it’s expected.
Polywall 3.10 now makes this possible by offering:
Quick on-demand creation of new browser sources for video walls
Simultaneous opening of dozens of dashboards and other browser content on video walls within a single authentication
Seamless switching between layouts without session disruption
Real-time access to web portals, without the need to re-authenticate
Improved day-to-day operations comfort
It isn’t just another update — it’s a strategic leap forward for your decision-making hub operations, security, and visual data management.
What’s Inside Polywall 3.10
1. All-New Embedded Browser: Persistent, Secure, and Built for Real-time Dashboard Visualization
The browser engine in Polywall 3.10 has been completely rebuilt, using the latest Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) — an industry-standard for secure, stable, and high-performance embedded browsers.
This upgrade makes Polywall a go-to solution for environments where real-time dashboards or other browser objects are displayed directly on video walls.
1.1. Session Persistence: No More Re-logins, Faster Dashboards
Credentials, tokens, and preloaded data persist as long as the video wall PC is active — improving load speed and user experience.
When re-opening a particular dashboard, the browser resumes the previous session, avoiding login prompts and reloading delays.
Sessions remain active even after a layout switch or browser window is closed.
Login to one dashboard is used to all dashboards under the same account, so the complete layout of multiple dashboards needs just 1 set of credentials entered
Whether you’re switching between 10 or 30 dashboards, the session is maintained until the workstation is rebooted or the server terminates it — making work smoother and dramatically faster.
1.2. Multiple Profiles Support: Keep Settings and Simultaneously Share Content from Different Profiles
Polywall now supports multiple named browser profiles with stored logins, scaling preferences, plugins, and unique configurations.
Assign different dashboards to different profiles based on access level or function. The same dashboard can be shown on the video wall several times with different credentials.
Ideal for shared environments where various roles access dashboards with distinct credentials and permissions.
Incognito mode for sensitive credentials and data
Example: Use one profile for internal monitoring tools, and another for public-facing dashboards — each with its own saved sessions and visual tuning.
1.3. Advanced Scaling & Layout Control
Many web dashboards aren’t optimized for 4K or large-resolution video walls. The new browser profiles in Polywall 3.10 store individual scaling preferences per domain, so dashboards always appear pixel-perfect and readable — no blurry text, no weird alignments.
1.4. Secure by Design: Latest CEF Engine
Browser-based dashboards have become the default interface for data. And virtually every major video wall software vendor now supports browser integration in some form — but not all solutions are created equal.
We’ve upgraded our browser module to the latest Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) — the same engine used by leading enterprise platforms.
This means:
Eliminating the need to use external browsers (like Chrome or Edge)
Named profiles for granular control
Maximum compatibility with modern web standards
Full support for encrypted connections, cookies, tokens, and scripts
Up-to-date security patches — a key requirement for mission-critical and high-compliance environments
Your dashboards now run on the most current and secure version of CEF— no outdated rendering engines or workaround hacks.
Now, you can launch and manage all your dashboards — securely, quickly, and inside the same control room platform, without switching apps or breaking context.
Polywall 3.10 introduces full support for Single Sign-On (SSO) — a key feature designed to streamline user authentication, reduce friction, and integrate Polywall into enterprise IT ecosystems more deeply than ever before.
Polywall now supports integration with Identity and Access Management systems, allowing system administrators to simplify the access routine and handling of user rights. This will drastically improve the speed and fluidity of workflows — which is particularly important for large organizations
SSO is available in Polywall PRO, PRO+, and ENTERPRISE license tiers, where advanced access control and role-based user management are mission-critical.
3. Video & Image Playlist Source: Now More Versatile
In Polywall 3.10, the Playlist Source has been significantly upgraded. Previously limited to video files, this source type can now include both videos and images — making it a powerful tool for creating dynamic content carousels on video walls.
With the updated playlist engine, you can now add video files (e.g. MP4, AVI), add image files (e.g. PNG, JPG), arrange them in the desired sequence and automatically cycle through the content on a video wall.
Use the built-in Playlist Source tool to:
Navigate to the content repository
Create a new Playlist Source
Select and add any combination of videos and images
Define the playback order and timing (images default to 10 seconds each)
This feature is designed for quick setup of rotating visuals without the need for editing tools or video production. It’s perfect for:
Info screens in lobbies and campuses
Safety alert rotations
Scheduled operator briefings
Visual storytelling during presentations
Whether you’re running a dynamic control room, digital signage zone, or mission-critical monitoring space — the new Video & Image Playlist Source makes it easier than ever to deliver engaging, rotating content on your video walls and information screens.
4. RSS Feed Source: Real-Time News Tickers Made Simple
Need real-time updates on your video wall? With Polywall 3.10, you can now turn any RSS feed into a live, auto-updating text ticker — perfect for control rooms, public info displays, and command centers.
Whether it’s breaking news, service alerts, or internal communications — if it's available via RSS, it can now be displayed automatically and dynamically across your layout.
5. Enhanced User Experience: More Visual Comfort, Less Setup
Polywall 3.10 introduces several quality-of-life upgrades to simplify operator workflows and improve content styling — especially when working with Text and Browser sources.
5.1. Dark Mode for Improved Visual Comfort of Operators
We’ve standardized the dark UI theme across all built-in browser windows. Why?
It reduces glare on large video walls.
It ensures better visual harmony with dashboards like Power BI, Grafana, and Kibana.
It’s easier on the eyes for operators working long shifts, thus increasing their efficiency.
⠀
5.2. Text Source Improvements
Color Picker: Choose any color for text directly from a built-in picker — in addition to RGB values.
Font Suggestions: The system now offers a curated list of fonts, streamlining design and ensuring better readability across large screens.
⠀
6. General Updates: Security Hardening, Usability Enhancements, and More
Polywall 3.10 includes important under-the-hood updates aimed at improving security, compliance, and system customization. From patching a critical vulnerability to providing more flexible display behavior, this release brings several must-have improvements — especially for enterprise and high-security environments.
Polywall previously used this component to handle layouts (Scenes and Scenarios). In version 3.10, we've fully replaced the vulnerable archiving engine, mitigating the issue.
If you're running older versions of Polywall, we strongly recommend updating to 3.10
Customers under active support contracts will receive this update free of charge.
For those outside warranty coverage, the update is available via extended support packages through your integration partner.
Reach out to your system integrator for assistance in applying this patch.
This is not just a best practice — it’s a critical update for any organization concerned with cybersecurity hygiene, especially if Polywall is part of a partially or fully accessible network.
6.2. Datapath "No Signal" Window: Fully Customizable Appearance
Previously, when a Datapath capture card encountered an empty input, users saw a default green-screen message with the words “NO SIGNAL” — often disruptive on a live video wall.
In Polywall 3.10, this behavior is now customizable:
Change background color (from green to black, grey, or brand-themed colors)
Customize or remove the “No Signal” text
Match your video wall fallback state with your environment's aesthetics
This feature was added by request from enterprise users who wanted cleaner, less distracting fallback visuals on wall-mounted displays.
