Some Background
Samsung Group is the largest corporation in Korea and the leading supplier to the video surveillance industry. It is the inventor of the narrow- bezel LCD, with only 2.4 mm (right and bottom) of the screen and 4.3 mm (left and top), allowing tiling of multiple units with only 7.3 mm between the live screen areas.. This narrow-bezel spacing between the multiple units of the displays provides an almost seamless video display wall. 

Jupiter Systems is one of the largest suppliers of display wall controllers used in China with sales across industries including air, rail, port and highway traffic management, water, power, public security, mining, telecommunications, broadcast, finance and enterprise markets.  Its processors are used in some of the country’s largest, most important installations, such as the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (a wall comprised of 56 individual displays, originally serving as the Security Command Centre for the 2008 Summer Olympics) and the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (a large display wall of 16 x 7 or 112 displays built originally for the 2008 Summer Olympics), as well as a great many smaller projects used by local business.  Jupiter was an earlier investor in China and among the first in the industry to set up manufacturing in the country and a wholly-owned subsidiary.
