Overview

Video wall creation usually consists of:

...

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 the Standalone publishing method, because you must be connected to a network (additional configuration is required after publishing the presentation).

Video Walls using XC5 Players

...

  • Players in a sync configuration should be of the same model family. Mixing model families can work but is not recommended. For example, players in the XT4 family are similar enough to be used, but players with very different performance like XT4 and LS4 may yield inconsistent results.

  • All media must strictly conform to supported specifications. Even media that is slightly out-of-spec may play back fine on its own but can cause issues with synchronized playback. For example, if the bitrate is too high, it may affect playback on one of the synchronized players.

  • The leader player must have OS/firmware version that is the same or older than the follower players.

  • Synchronization cannot be used simultaneously with roStreamQueue for seamless clip-to-clip transitions, so sync presentations that have a playlist including more than one video will have a slight pause between the videos.

  • Seamless looping of a single video is supported with synchronized playback. The seamless looping requirements are:

    • Use an MP4 or MOV container

    • There must be no audio track, or SOWT (PCM little-endian) audio track

    • All tracks must be exactly the same length (including the sample length)

  • We recommend using only one zone of video per player to ensure best results.
