How medialized mesh works

By June Bisantz

LED lights, or “profiles,” are woven into intelligent cabling and inserted into the metal mesh fabric, becoming almost invisible. Power and display data are supplied via cables connected either to control units installed near the media wall or to a remote server, allowing the screen to display a variety of programmed or streaming Internet content controlled locally or from a remote location.
