At ISE 2025 in Barcelona, Megapixel VR’s Ventana LED display tile platform was honored with AV Technology’s Best in Show award. Andrew Beaudet from Megapixel expressed enthusiasm about the event’s high attendance and the sustained interest in advanced LED technologies, even on the final day. He highlighted the industry’s focus on both LED tile innovations and processing advancements, particularly with Megapixel’s Helios processor.
The Helios processor has garnered significant attention from leading LED tile manufacturers. Companies such as Sony, LG, AOTO, Absen, Jupiter, Unilumin, and ROE Visual have integrated Helios into their displays at the show, underscoring its versatility and performance. This widespread adoption emphasizes the processor’s compatibility and the strong partnerships Megapixel has cultivated within the industry.
Megapixel’s proprietary Ventana tiles, designed for high-performance fixed installations, are available in both gloss and matte finishes with pixel pitches of 1.2mm and 0.8mm. The tiles feature a user-friendly design, utilizing magnetic attachments and pogo pins for electrical and data connections, allowing for rapid and straightforward assembly. This innovative approach enables the construction of LED walls efficiently, reducing installation time and complexity.
A notable feature of the Ventana tiles is their hot-swappable capability. Tiles can be removed and replaced seamlessly without disrupting the overall display. Once reattached, a tile undergoes a brief boot-up process, typically around 60 seconds, before resuming full functionality. This design ensures minimal downtime and maintenance flexibility.
Central to the Ventana system is the integration of Megapixel’s PX1 card, a tile-side processor that manages functions such as color calibration and registration directly within each tile. This decentralized processing approach reduces the load on the main Helios processor and allows the system’s processing power to scale with the addition of more tiles. As a display expands, each new tile contributes additional processing capacity, ensuring consistent performance across large installations.
At ISE 2025, Megapixel collaborated with partners like Hive and Crestron to showcase the Ventana tiles’ capabilities. The glossy finish was displayed at the Hive booth, while the matte version was featured at the Crestron booth. These demonstrations provided attendees with a comprehensive view of the tiles’ visual quality and versatility in different applications.
The Helios processor’s advanced features include native support for SMPTE ST 2110, enabling seamless integration into IP-based media environments. With a full 8K video pipeline, modular inputs, and fiber distribution capabilities, Helios is engineered to meet the demands of large-scale, high-resolution displays. Its design emphasizes resilience and reliability, incorporating dual-path redundancy and real-time health monitoring to ensure uninterrupted performance.
Megapixel’s commitment to innovation is further evidenced by their ongoing projects, such as a significant installation in Manhattan. This project involves deploying 16 Helios processors to drive an extensive LED display in a corporate lobby, highlighting the system’s scalability and suitability for large, high-profile installations. The combination of Ventana tiles and Helios processing technology positions Megapixel at the forefront of the LED display industry, offering solutions that are both technically advanced and user-centric.
