    Video Walls with Multiple Players

    If you plan to create the BrightWall with multiple Series 3, 4, and 5 players, select one of the following two methods . 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).

    1. Use the Mosaic BrightWall method to spread one video asset across multiple boxes
    2. Use the Multi Asset BrightWall method to play multiple, pre-sliced video assets on multiple boxes
    Both of these methods allow you to use the BrightWall Configurator (a video wall software wizard) to interactively adjust your display
