    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).

  • Spreading one video asset across multiple boxes - using BrightWall only
  • Playing multiple video assets (pre-sliced) on multiple boxes - using BrightWall with the Multi Asset widget
    • 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
