Please note:
1. Monitors AnyWhere can be installed on a PC or a virtual machine (VM).
For more information on VM see our guide : how to install Monitors AnyWhere on a virtual machine.
2. For all cases it’s recommended to use a Gigabit switch to connect the zero clients and controlling PC.
3. Installing an additional display card would off-load the CPU and act to improve performance when video content is displayed.
Our solution was tested successfully with the following video cards:
Please note:
NVIDIA’s Super cards are supported by MAWi Spacewall only.
The specifications for the host PC depend on the type of content, the size of the video wall and the number of video walls that will be run from a single PC.
Please see below a number of use cases and the relevant PC specs that are recommended for them.
Example use cases | 3x1,4x1,2x2, 3x2 | 4x2,3x3, 4x4, 10x1 | 5x5, 6x5, 10x2 |

Please note:
1. Running a video wall on a virtual machine (VM) is not recommended.
Since our zero clients rely heavily on the CPU and GPU of the hardware on which it is installed, running a video wall on a virtual machine is not recommended or supported.
2. For all cases it’s recommended to use at least a Gigabit switch connecting the endpoint devices and host PC.
In cases where more than 16 are being used, we recommend using a 10gig switch and NIC on the PC.
3. Installing an additional display card would off-load the CPU and act to improve performance when video content is displayed
Our solution was tested successfully with the following video cards:
Please note:
– Video walls, Grid or Creative are supported only by MAWi Spacewall.
– NVIDIA’s Super cards are fully supported as well by Spacewall.
The option to group screens and mirror the same content on all screens in that group is available in MAWi Spacewall and MAWi ZERO.
The specifications for the host PC will depend on the type of content and the number of screens per group.
Please see below a number of use cases and the relevant PC specs that are recommended for them.
Example use cases | Create 4 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content | Create 8 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content | Create 16 groups, each group is showing a different cloned content |

Please note:
1. Running the Clone feature on a virtual machine (VM) is not recommended for dynamic content.
Since our endpoint devices rely heavily on the CPU and GPU of the hardware on which it is installed, running a screen cloning setup for showing videos on the displays is not recommended when a host is a virtual machine. For a static type of content, there should be no issue to use the clone feature.
2. For all cases it’s recommended to use a Gigabit switch connecting the zero clients and host PC.
3. Installing an additional display card would off-load the CPU and act to improve performance when video content is displayed.
Our solution was tested successfully with the following video cards:
Please note:
NVIDIA’s Super cards are supported by MAWi Spacewall only.
Monitors AnyWhere use HDMI over LAN zero clients technology. Our endpoint devices replace graphic cards and connect a central computer to each display, through a local area network.
Please see below a number of use cases and the relevant network utilization they can be expected to take.
Example use case | Up to 4 different content channels or 4 cloned groups and Video Walls | Up to 8 different content channels or 8 cloned groups and Video Walls | Up to 16 different content channels or 16 cloned groups and Video Walls |
