To create a new BrightWall presentation, navigate to Create > BrightWall(if the Create a new Video Wall window doesn’t open automatically, click File > New BrightWall). A BrightWall presentation requires a BrightWall Configuration file to set the platform, dimensions, and layout of the video wall. Once you create a BrightWall Configuration file, you can use that file to quickly generate BrightWall presentations with the same video-wall setup.

  • Save As: Enter the name of the new BrightWall project.
  • Where: Choose where to save the BrightWall project file. Note that the project file is different from the presentation files that will actually be published to the players.
  • Configuration file: If you have created a BrightWall Configuration file, you can use it to generate settings for the BrightWall project.
  • Create BrightWall Configuration: Click this button to create a new BrightWall Configuration file. Use this option if you haven’t created a BrightWall Configuration file yet, or if you would like to create an additional BrightWall Configuration file with new settings.

    • Portrait – bottom on right: Video is rotated clockwise 90 degrees. Select this option if the bottom of the each monitor is on the right when it is portrait oriented.

  • Monitor overscan: Select an overscan setting to determine how each video fills the display screen.
    • No overscan – use full screen: Displays video to the edge of the video signal.
    • Overscan – action safe: Restricts the image display to an area that is compatible with most displays.
    • Overscan – title safe: Restricts the image display to an area that is much smaller than the image generated by the video signal.

    : Specify a domain number (between 0 and 127) for the video wall. This number must be unique for each video wall on the local network. This will ensure that multiple video walls can run on the same local network without synchronization messages interfering with each other.
  • Bezel Width and Height: Account for the bezel size of the monitors that make up the video wall. This allows for better alignment of videos in the video wall. These measurements only apply to Stretched BrightWall presentations. For Regular presentations, bezel width and height will need to be accounted for in the content creation application.
