It is especially powerful because it lets you manage displays that are not in line-of-sight. In addition, it can spread content across groups of displays for [mini-video walls](https://connect.hiperwall.com/essentials-packages). But the name, HidraLink, seems to be spelled a bit funny. The basis for the name is the mythical multi-headed Hydra, since the software uses a single PC with multiple heads (displays). Then, in keeping with [Hiperwall’s naming tradition](https://connect.hiperwall.com/newsroom/blog/hiperwall-whats-in-a-name) (see the linked post on the Hiperwall name), we took the Highly Interactive part of the Hiperwall name and came up with “Hidra” as the product family name. HidraLink is the first Hidra product and it is well suited to visual communications in lobbies, hallways, and high traffic areas. A timely and useful application for HidraLink is displaying thermal camera feeds in lobbies for temperature screening of employees and visitors. As such, we added the capability to flip the application feeds as they are shown on the [LED video wall](https://connect.hiperwall.com/led-video-wall) displays to provide a natural view to the people being seen by the thermal detection camera.
