Polywall Reflects on an Outstanding 2024 and Looks Ahead to 2025

2024 was a defining year for Polywall, with exceptional milestones in product development, international expansion, and high-profile projects that cemented our reputation as a leader in control room solutions.

Product Innovations: Launch of Polywall 3.9

In September 2024, we unveiled Polywall 3.9, a groundbreaking release that redefined the possibilities for control room management. Here are the key highlights of this major update:

1. Polywall Personal VR Control Room
Introducing an executive-level virtual control room, Polywall now allows decision-makers to access and manage data from geographically dispersed video walls and workstations in a VR environment. This innovative feature offers unparalleled situational awareness and customization for remote collaboration.

2. Tailored touch Interfaces and No-Code Automation
The update includes a no-code automation platform, enabling users to create tailored role-based interfaces for different usage models of the control room and automate environment devices without programming skills or any proprietary control systems. Touch and voice control options further enhance usability.

3. Enhanced Polywall API v2.0
The upgraded API provides a secure REST-based protocol and expands the command set fivefold, streamlining integrations and expanding interface functionality.

4. New STANDARD+ License for Small and Medium Control Rooms
This cost-effective licensing option expands the functionality of Polywall Standard, a cost-efficient license for small and medium-sized videowalls in NOC or SOC rooms, adding advanced live high-quality PC desktop and app window sharing features, previously available only in higher-end licenses. Using Polywall Streamer, you can make even more cost-effective control room projects, removing the need for a capture card, minimizing video-cabling in the control room, and adding content from workstations across the whole company, not limited by distance between videowall and PC.

5. Windows 11 Compatibility
Ensuring future-proof operation, Polywall 3.9 fully supports Windows 11, aligning with the latest industry standards and security bulletin recommendations. Components like the .NET framework were also upgraded to meet the security recommendations.

6. Magewell Capture Card Integration
Enhanced integration introduces features like cropping, rotation, and naming, improving content manipulation in AV projects for the Magewell capture card, very popular in many countries.

7. General Enhancements
The update also includes performance optimizations, such as faster file transfers, increased connection limits, and improved security features, ensuring a smooth user experience.
