DisplayNet systems consist of multiple transmitter and receiver endpoints, a 10GbE network switch and a DisplayNet Server®, which provides the interface layer required to control and manage the entire system. The server runs the DisplayNet API Engine service, enabling clients with a network connection to the server to control the system. Using DisplayNet Server® (model no. DNS-20), systems can be managed using several control methods, which enables the technology to be seamlessly integrated into a variety of applications workflows. DisplayNet Server® provides a central interface between the control equipment/software and the DisplayNet endpoint devices and is a required component of every DisplayNet system.

The DisplayNet Server (DNS-20) is a Small Form Factor (SFF) embedded Linux server. The unit fits in a 1U rack space, occupies less than a half-rack width and includes rack mount hardware. The DisplayNet API Engine is pre-installed on the server and supports the use of DisplayNet Manager®, a web-based software application for system setup and configuration. DisplayNet Manager includes tools to route signals, configure device settings, build Video Wall configurations, build MultiViewer layouts and configurations, perform EDID Management, generate and save scripts and presets, as well as view and test DisplayNet API commands. Both DisplayNet Manager and the DisplayNet API include rapid application deployment features that are designed to facilitate the use of third-party control systems. These features enable DisplayNet to be easily integrated into a wide range of professional AV applications and workflows.
