A video wall

Overview

Video wall creation usually consists of

3 primary disciplines

:

  1. Preparing the
first is content production (the slicing of video to distribute to multiple screens); the second is leveraging software tools to dist. that content to hardware; the last is the config. of hardware to render these slices to present a cohesive canvas known as a video wall. BS has looked at these 3 disciplines and has created software and hw to simplify this otherwise complex task
  1. content - usually by dividing it for multiple screens
  2. Using software tools to distribute that content to the players
  3. 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

BS

BrightSign customers to create video walls using

BS software and hw. Legacy method: VideoWall Link/Synchronization

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

completely

unconstrained in terms of the number of screens and

the

screen rotation.

  • Using BrightWall with multiple players with Series 3, 4, and 5 players. This is not limited to the number of players, but is limited in that it can only produce a videowall of rectilinear nature (all screens must be portrait, landscape, all in the same orientation).
    1. Spreading one video asset across multiple boxes - using bw only
    2. Playing multiple video assets (pre-sliced) on multiple boxes - using brightwall with the mutli-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.
  • Using BrightWall with a multi-headed player (for users of the XC5). This method is currently limited to 4 screens, also of rectilinear nature (all screens must be portrait, landscape, all in the same orientation).

    • BrightSign allows users to create video walls in a number of different ways. There are three primary methods, which are described on the pages below:

    You can use BrightWall, which works or the VideoWall Link/Synchronization method to create a video wall presentation in BrightAuthor:connected. 

    These methods, as well as the BrightWall Configurator (a video wall software wizard which easily lets you execute what would be a manual process), which lets you view and adjust your presentation onscreen, are described on the pages below:
