4.4-Adding Video to a BrightWall Presentation

The process of creating a video playlist for a BrightWall will differ depending on whether you created a Regular or Stretched presentation.
For a Regular BrightWall
Each screen in a video wall has a distinct playlist. You can switch among screens by selecting them in the Screen section.
To create a regular BrightWall, you will need to add a different video file (or Streaming/Live Video state) to each screen. The Media Library of a Regular BrightWall has special properties that help streamline playlist creation:
- A video with a file name in the format “VideoName_Number” appears only in the Media Library of the screen corresponding to its number.
- Adding a video with a “VideoName_Number” file name to a screen will add all other videos with the same format to their respective screen playlists. This behavior will only occur if the quantity of “VideoName_Number” files corresponds to the number screens in the BrightWall presentation.
Example
Your BrightWall project consists of four screens. The video is split into four files, each file representing ¼ of the entire wall: “Intro_1.mpg”, “Intro_2.mpg”, “Intro_3.mpg”, and “Intro_4.mpg”. Only “Intro_1” will appear in the Media Library of Screen 1. Adding “Intro_1” to Screen 1 will automatically add “Intro_2” to Screen 2, “Intro_3” to Screen 3, and “Intro_4” to Screen 4. If your BrightWall project is expanded to six screens, then adding “Intro_1” will not affect the playlists of the other screens because there are only four “Intro” video files.

For a Stretched BrightWall
The entire video wall has the same playlist. Adding a video file, Streaming Video, Live Video, or RF Input to the playlist will split the video among the screens during playback.
