What's New in GridVue: SoftKVM, GVBrowser, Persistent Sessions & AES-256 Security

The latest GridVue release brings live wall previews and direct interaction through SoftKVM, the new GVBrowser, session persistence across layout changes, remote screen sharing, and AES-256 encryption — built for control rooms and NOCs that can't afford downtime.

GridVue is video wall management and control software used to run video wall controllers, sources, and layouts from a single interface — built for control rooms, NOCs, airports, and government facilities.

1. SoftKVM: Live Previews & Direct Interaction

Operators can now see a live preview, inside the GridVue software, of whatever is currently displayed on the video wall. There's no need to walk up to the wall or switch to a separate feed to check what's live — it's visible right from the interface.

Through SoftKVM, operators can go beyond just viewing and directly interact with whatever is on screen — clicking, scrolling, and navigating dashboards live, straight from the GridVue interface.

Why it matters: Operators get a real-time view of the wall's current state and can act on it immediately, without leaving their workstation.
New Feature

2. GVBrowser — A Lightweight Browser Built for Video Walls

GridVue now includes GVBrowser, a lightweight, purpose-built browser designed to reduce the resource overhead of running multiple web sources across a video wall system.

Auto-refresh, built in

GVBrowser supports configurable auto-refresh per source, so dashboards, web pages, and monitoring tools stay current on the wall without manual intervention.

Sessions that actually stay logged in

Website sessions are preserved according to each site's own session settings. Log in once, and GVBrowser keeps that session active on future visits — you won't be logged out unless the website itself ends the session.

  • Lightweight footprint, reducing load compared to a full browser instance per source
  • Configurable auto-refresh intervals per web source
  • Session persistence based on each website's own login/session rules
  • No repeated logins unless the session is expired by the site itself
New Feature

3. Persistent Sessions Across Layout Changes

The same session-persistence approach used in GVBrowser has been extended to standard Chrome browser sources as well, so logins can now be managed consistently across other systems too.

The problem this solves

Previously, changing a video wall layout could reset the browser sources on it — clearing logins and any in-page changes an operator had made. In a busy NOC, that meant re-authenticating and re-configuring dashboards every time the layout changed.

How it works now

GridVue preserves the session state through layout changes, so logins and in-page changes remain intact no matter how often the wall is reconfigured.

Built for NOCs: Teams that manage dozens of authenticated dashboards across shifts get a consistent experience — the wall remembers what you set up, even as layouts change around it.
Security Update

4. AES-256 Encryption & Security Improvements

This release brings GridVue's data protection in line with current industry best practice, with AES-256-bit encryption now applied across the platform.

  • AES-256-bit encryption applied to data handled by the platform
  • General hardening of the software's security posture in line with current industry standards
  • Ongoing improvements aligned with evolving security best practices

For deployments in government, airport, and critical infrastructure environments, this update reinforces GridVue's position as a security-conscious platform for control room video wall management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GridVue?

GridVue is video wall management and control software used to run video wall controllers, sources, and layouts from a single interface — built for control rooms, NOCs, airports, and government facilities.

What is SoftKVM in GridVue?

SoftKVM shows a live preview of whatever is currently on the video wall inside the GridVue software, and lets operators directly interact with it by clicking, scrolling, and navigating without physical access to the wall.

What is GVBrowser?

GVBrowser is a lightweight browser built into GridVue for running web-based sources on a video wall, with configurable auto-refresh per source and session persistence based on each website's own login rules.

Does GridVue keep browser sessions logged in after a layout change?

Yes. GridVue preserves session state, including logins and in-page changes, across video wall layout changes instead of resetting browser sources each time.

How does GridVue secure video wall data?

GridVue applies AES-256-bit encryption across the platform along with ongoing security hardening, making it suitable for government, airport, and critical infrastructure video wall deployments.
