Video + Audio Mosaic Wall
The Audio/Video content of a Digital TV services gets displayed in a monitor tile. Several monitor tiles are combined to an A/V mosaic wall. Several A/V mosaic walls with different dimensions can be defined. The number of walls and the number of  tiles displayed within a mosaic wall are only limited by the memory and/or CPU resources of the machine where they are running on.
Beside the Audio/Video monitor tiles a tile with date, time and location info and tiles providing additional info can be defined, all arbitrarily adjustable.
