Product

Barco is developing large video wall solutions based on LED, LCD and RPC tiled display modules. All display tiles of a video wall are managed by a central video wall manager talking to all displays via an internal rest/json API. For large scale video wall support next to real systems display simulators are used to validate the system performance and to define the overall system limits. This display simulator itself runs on Barco's custom Linux platform to host a micro-service-based application software for a single display management which can simulate various functionalities of the display.

Your Tasks
Your task would be to extend the application software layer of the display simulator to provide more accurate display device specific information via the API as well as taking care of the static and dynamic system behavior. By using and extending the existing API test automation suite you will proof the accu-racy of display simulator against the response behavior of a real system and finetune it.
