A few people have asked what I do here, and I finally got some pictures of my work area when it is "sanitized" (all secure stuff turn off), because we are doing some construction.. Here's a few pics..
First one is a horrible pic, (I didn't take it..) but it shows the row where Gen Petraeus takes his morning briefing.. The big video wall is very similar to what is behind the news anchors on some of the networks.
A server with about 30 something video cards runs this wall. Fourteen inputs in, twelves outs to each of the "cubes". Each input is individually croppable, and can be stretch to fill any portion of the screen. Special software manipulates the resolution of each input in order to make it presentable when stretched.
There are intercom systems at each position, and these interface with a videoteleconferencing unit that links to other sites to provide audio/video communication.
None of this is classified information, as this is no that unusual a setup for a large companies' Network Operations Center, or any other sort of command and control setup.
