Overview

Video wall creation usually consists of:

Preparing the content - usually by dividing it for multiple screens
Using software tools to distribute that content to the players
Configuring the players to render the content into a cohesive video wall

BrightSign software and hardware simplifies these tasks. This documentation describes the primary methods available to BrightSign customers to create video walls using our software and hardware. Select a method based on your BrightSign player(s) and the 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 using XC5 Players

XC5 players can distribute video to up to four screens. All screens must be in either portrait or landscape 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 unconstrained in terms of the number of screens and screen rotation.
