2.1 Design
A
TLAS 
CS4 is a modular rear projection system for the construction of large Display Walls. The
technologies used guarantee the best optical properties for high-quality presentation of information
with very simple integration into higher-level systems.
Technology
A
TLAS 
CS4 combines the latest modern projection technology with sophisticated electronics and
solid mechanics. This design results in high image quality and reliability.
Application Fields
A
TLAS 
CS4 can be used wherever a large-area presentation of computer data or video is required.
It is designed for continuous operation (24h).
High-quality and large-area displaying of monitor contents is becoming increasingly important
Simple data presentations are being increasingly supplemented by multimedia applications with
video displays. A
TLAS 
CS4 provides optimum solutions which also satisfy the highest demands.
A
TLAS 
CS4 is multimedia-compatible since it can be connected to any current source (digital and
analog camcorder sources, analog video tape sources, DVD, Laserdisc, digital video tape sources,
computer data sources). Audio reproduction is possible by connecting amplifiers or active boxes to
the audio socket. Personal computers with the following graphics adapters can be connected as the
data sources: SXGA, XGA, SVGA, VGA. Workstations, Apple Macintosh and Power Macintosh
are also supported. Remote real-time switching is possible between all sources.
User Friendly
The rear panel of an A
TLAS 
CS4 projection cube gives free access to all control elements. The only
maintenance work, i. e. cleaning the dust filter and replacing the lamps, can be done within few
seconds and makes no re-adjustment necessary.
Environmentally Friendly
The burning life of the used 100 Watt lamps is very high at 8000 hours. This long lamp lifetime
and the low power consumption do not only reduce the cost of ownership but also contribute to
saving energy and natural resources.
Flexible Configuration

ALLS 
consists of a modular aluminum structure on which mechanical and
optical components are fixed. This makes it possible to build curved display walls with any size of
screen.
