Video wall management software gives operators a controlled way to choose sources, arrange layouts and recall room states without needing direct access to the underlying display processors. Commandant is Harp Visual's touch-panel control platform for operational video wall environments. It is configured around the room workflow, allowing operators to route sources, move windows, recall presets, trigger salvo switching and manage permitted actions through role-based access. In a typical deployment, Commandant sits above the video wall processing layer and presents only the controls required for that room, reducing operator complexity during live operations. It can also integrate complementary AV systems such as audio, microphones, room lighting and collaboration equipment where scoped. Commandant is used in control rooms, mission operations spaces, transport environments and secure briefing rooms where predictable source control and rapid display layout recall matter.
Commandant. Video wall management software built for operational environments.
Commandant is Harp Visual's video wall and room control software - providing touch screen control of video wall layouts, source routing, preset management and salvo switching for operational environments. It can be configured to control audio systems, microphones, lighting and other complementary AV products where scoped per project, creating one unified control platform for the room environment. Based on Mura Control and configured by Harp Visual to the client's specific branding, operational workflows and use cases.
What Commandant delivers
Touch screen control
Operators manage the room from a touch screen interface configured around the operational workflow.
Real-time layout management
Video wall layouts, window positions and displayed sources can be managed in real time from the touch interface.
Source routing and management
Sources are selected and routed to the required wall areas or display outputs.
Preset and salvo recall
Operational scenarios can be recalled quickly through defined presets and salvo switching.
Role-based access
Controls can be structured around operator roles, room requirements and permitted actions.
One control platform - beyond the video wall
Beyond video wall control, Commandant can integrate audio systems, microphone management, room lighting and other complementary AV products into a single unified touch-panel interface.
Hardware configurations
Commandant runs on touch screen hardware in all configurations. Secure configurations use touch screen hardware selected without camera, WiFi or Bluetooth where required by the installation.
Where Commandant is deployed
Commandant gives operators a consistent control experience across Harp Visual display system deployments.
Operational rooms
Commandant is deployed across defence command rooms, government operations centres, transport control rooms and corporate operations environments.
Operator control
It is used where a video wall needs to be controlled reliably and quickly by operators who are not AV engineers.
MERLIN integration
Commandant runs alongside MERLIN Processor, providing a consistent control experience across Harp Visual display system deployments.
Maintenance and support
Commandant software updates, configuration changes and operational adjustments are managed by Harp Visual as part of system maintenance and support packages. Client-specific configurations are documented and changes are managed through the support process.
Common questions
What is Commandant?
Commandant is Harp Visual's video wall and room control software for touch screen layout control, source routing, preset recall and salvo switching.
Is Commandant suitable for non-defence environments?
Yes. Commandant is used wherever operators need reliable control of video wall layouts and sources, including commercial, transport, education and corporate environments.
Can Commandant be customised to our branding?
Yes. Commandant is configured by Harp Visual to reflect client branding, operational workflows and use cases. Commandant can also be configured to control audio systems, microphones and other complementary AV products, creating a single unified control platform for the room environment.
Can Commandant control audio and microphones as well as the video wall?
Yes. Commandant can be configured to integrate audio system control, microphone management and other complementary AV products alongside video wall control, creating a single unified control platform for the room environment. Operators manage AV systems from one touch panel interface. Custom integrations are scoped per installation based on the specific systems and operational requirements of the environment.
