VuWall's main product offering is TRx, software that combines AV-over-IP distribution, KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) management, and centralized control for multiple video walls.

Notable Events
[edit]Support for first responders during COVID-19 pandemic
[edit]In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, VuWall made its proprietary control room software free for organizations that needed it in order to create emergency video wall control centers.[17]At the time, VuWall CEO Paul Vander Plaetse was quoted:
"In this time of crisis, coordination teams within municipalities, newsrooms and healthcare facilities are actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and managing response efforts. These decision-makers need to access all kinds of information in order to make fast decisions and share information with their colleagues and in some cases, the public. We hope that by offering our VuWall2 for no cost as a way to create a temporary emergency video wall control center, we can aid key organizations in managing this influx of data and help keep people informed. We want to assist as many organizations as possible, which is why we will be offering first come, first served setup and support.”[18]
Security for the G7 Leadership Summit in 2022
[edit]VuWall was a supplier for the G7 Leadership Summit in 2022, which took place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. VuWall software was used by organizers of the 2022 G7 Summit for control room visualization.[19] Over 18,000 police officers were responsible for safeguarding the event and protecting delegates. The local municipality's skating arena was turned into a makeshift command center from where officers could oversee activity sourced from camera feeds and other devices. VuWall's TRx software was implemented to provide the control room team with a system that supported AV-over-IP protocols (h.264, SDVoE, NDI) and was compatible with over a dozen brands of AV equipment.[20]
Acquisition
[edit]In January 2025, VuWall was acquired by Naxicap Partners, a European private equity firm specializing in growth-stage technology companies. The acquisition was part of Naxicap’s strategy to invest in mission-critical control room technologies and expand its footprint in the audiovisual and IT integration sector. According to industry reports, the deal was intended to accelerate VuWall’s international growth, bolster its research and development capabilities, and strengthen its position in the AV-over-IP and video wall management markets.[21][22]
