WBC110 remains one of the largest controllers in range

Video wall specialist Ultimate Visual Solutions has launched a new generation of its Lucidity controllers for traffic control rooms.

UVS said that the expanded range of controllers is faster and more powerful, using latest CPU - central processing unit - processing power.

The relaunched Lucidity range includes a new three-slot WBC30 controller with an i9 processor, ideal for smaller systems requiring physical inputs.

A new five-slot WBC50 controller has the powerful Xeon W3 processor and 64GB RAM. UVS said that this is ideal for medium-sized configurations requiring the processing of more web pages and physical inputs.

The WBC10 controller becomes the WBC10-W3, with the more powerful Xeon W3 processor and 64GB RAM. 

The WBC70 becomes the WBC70-W3, with the more powerful Xeon W3 processor and with 128GB RAM, this is a very powerful controller for multi-inputs and outputs and large quantities of web pages.

The WBC90 and WBC110 remain the largest controllers in the range, with huge expansion capabilities and with the latest upgrades they have moved from 7th Gen i7 to 12th Gen and DDR4 RAM to DDR 5.

All WBC controllers, except the WBC90 and 110, have moved to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. The WBC90 and 110 are currently Windows 10 LTSC 2021.  

UVS said that the WBC40 model will be phased out over time. However, the company will support all existing installations and maintain service stock.

“Lucidity has been an incredibly popular solution for our clients and partners since it was first launched in early 2019,” said Steve Murphy, managing director of UVS. “But the demands of modern control rooms mean we have decided to enhance and add to the range of controllers we offer while ensuring that our high standards remain for the service and maintenance of existing installations.”
