Overview

A Creating a video wall consists of three 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 to present a cohesive video wall

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

Video Walls with Multiple Players

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

1. Spreading one video asset across multiple boxes - using BrightWall only
2. Playing multiple video assets (pre-sliced) on multiple boxes - using BrightWall with the Multi Asset widget
3. Use the BrightWall Configurator (a video wall software wizard which easily lets you execute what would be a manual process) with either one or multiple video assets.

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, also of rectilinear nature (all screens must be portrait, landscape, all in 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.
