Multi-display apparatus
View Patent ↗The multi-display apparatus of the present disclosure is a multi-display apparatus for displaying a single image by combining a plurality of displays. The multi-display apparatus includes the plurality of displays connected to a network. Each of the plurality of displays includes a communication unit that communicates via the network and a controller. The controller determines whether a video signal can be reproduced at a predetermined display frame rate. When the video signal cannot be reproduced at the predetermined display frame rate, the controller changes a display frame rate from the predetermined display frame rate, and notifies other display of the display frame rate changed. When the display frame rate changed is notified from the other display, the controller changes the display frame rate to the display frame rate notified to reproduce the video signal.
1. A multi-display apparatus for displaying a single image by combining a plurality of displays, the multi-display apparatus comprising:
the plurality of displays that are connected to a network,
wherein each of the plurality of displays includes,
a communication unit configured to communicate via the network, and
a controller configured to determine whether a video signal can be reproduced at a predetermined display frame rate,
wherein,
when the video signal cannot be reproduced at the predetermined display frame rate, the controller changes a display frame rate from the predetermined display frame rate, and notifies other display of the display frame rate changed, and
when the display frame rate changed is notified from the other display, the controller changes the display frame rate to the display frame rate notified to reproduce the video signal.
2. The multi-display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the plurality of displays has a memory, and
the controller changes the display frame rate from the predetermined display frame rate based on a predetermined table stored in the memory.
3. The multi-display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
a master display is set from the plurality of displays,
the controller of each of the plurality of displays other than the master display notify the master display of the display frame rate to change, and
the controller of the master display notifies the plurality of displays other than the master display of a smallest display frame rate in the display frame rate notified.
4. The multi-display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein when the display frame rate to change is notified from a same display exceeding a predetermined number of times, the controller of the master display notifies the plurality of displays other than the master display of the display frame rate notified.
5. The multi-display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller gives notification of the display frame rate changed only to a display that is displaying a video signal corresponding to the display frame rate changed.
6. The multi-display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller of each of the plurality of displays obtain a timing to change the display frame rate from information included in the video signal.
7. A multi-display apparatus for displaying a single image based on a video signal by combining a plurality of displays, the multi-display apparatus comprising:
the plurality of displays that are connected to a network,
wherein each of the plurality of displays includes,
a communication unit configured to communicate via the network, and
a controller configured to send a request signal requesting other display to transmit specific information of a video signal displayed on the other display, calculate a difference between the specific information received and specific information of a video signal that is supposed to be displayed, receive the specific information from the other display, and give notification of correction amount for the specific information to the other display sending the specific information with the difference.
8. The multi-display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller of each of the plurality of displays conducts mutual time synchronization periodically.
9. The multi-display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller sets a master display in the plurality of displays through mutual communication, and controller of the master display sends the request signal to the other display.
