Overview

Video wall creation consists of the following main steps:

  1. Content production (slicing the video to distribute it to multiple screens)
  2. Leveraging software tools to distribute that content to hardware
  3. Configuring the hardware to render these slices the content into a cohesive video wall

BrightSign has created software and hardware to simplify this complex task. This documentation describes the primary methods available to BrightSign customers to create video walls using BrightSign software and hardware. You should select a method based on the BrightSign player you are using and the type video assets you want to display.

Note

You cannot use BrightWall video creation methods if you are using standalone publishing, because you must be connected to a network (additional configuration is required after publishing the presentation).



Video Walls with Multiple Players

If you plan to create the BrightWall with multiple Series 3, 4, and 5 players, select one of the following two methods. There are no limitations on the number of players, but this method can only produce a rectilinear video wall (all screens must be portrait or landscape, and must all have the same orientation).

  1. Use the Mosaic BrightWall method to spread one video asset across multiple boxes
  2. Use the Multi Asset BrightWall method to play multiple, pre-sliced video assets on multiple boxes

Both of these methods allow you to use the BrightWall Configurator (a video wall software wizard) to interactively adjust your display.

Video Walls using XC5 Players

Using BrightWall with a multi-headed player (for users of the XC5). This method is currently limited to four screens. It also can only produce a rectilinear video wall (all screens must be portrait or landscape, and all must have the same orientation).

Manual/Legacy Video Wall Creation

VideoWall Link/Synchronization is a legacy method to create a video wall presentation with Series 3, 4, and 5 players in BrightAuthor:connected. This method is completely manual so it is completely unconstrained in terms of the number of screens and the screen rotation.

Video Wall Bezel Compensation

See Configuring a Video Wall with Bezel Compensation to calculate the correct bezel compensation for your video wall.
