Abstract
It is expected to provide a display system, display control method and computer program for effectively outputting sound with plural display apparatuses in a two dimensional array. A control apparatus 2 is connected to a two dimensional array display apparatus unit made with display apparatuses 1, 1, . . . configuring a multivision system. A controlling unit 20 of the control apparatus 2 obtains position information for the display apparatus unit in the two dimensional array. Based on the position of each display apparatus 1 in the two dimensional array display apparatus unit, the controlling unit 20 decides the presence or absence of output sound and selects the channel for the output sound.
Claims6
A display system for outputting a sound and an image, comprising:
- plural display apparatuses, each of which comprises a panel for displaying an image and a loudspeaker for outputting a sound;
- and
- a control apparatus comprising a cpu and memory containing a control program, wherein the control apparatus controls sounds output from the plural display apparatuses, and identifies a relative position of each display apparatus relative to the plural display apparatuses,
- wherein
- the control apparatus refers to a position of each display apparatus to control a sound output from each loudspeaker and, if a sound is to be output, select a channel for the sound that should be output from each loudspeaker in accord with the relative position of the display apparatus as identified,
- each display apparatus is formed with two integral loudspeakers, a first loudspeaker being located on the left side of said each display apparatus and a second loudspeaker being located on the right side of said each display apparatus, and
- the control apparatus receives information whether one side loudspeaker or both sides loudspeakers are utilized by each display apparatus and the received information represents the presence or absence of sound output from such loudspeaker.
