Chapter 6 – Creating a BrightWall
CHAPTER 6 – CREATING A BRIGHTWALL™
The BrightWall™ feature allows you to easily create, publish, and edit video-wall deployments. Video walls are created by
synchronizing the playback of a number of units, each connected to a different screen on the wall, over a local network
connection. Simple video playlists are the only presentation type supported by BrightWall; interactive presentations are
not supported.
The process of publishing BrightWall presentations to players is significantly different from publishing standard
presentations. See Chapter 9 > Publishing a BrightWall for more information.
Note: The BrightSign Network does not currently support upload or distribution BrightWall presentations.
BrightWall Video Requirements
For best results, we recommend using the .mp4 container for video files that make up a BrightWall presentation. If
Transport Stream (.ts) files are used, they must begin with a presentation timestamp (PTS) offset of zero.
Creating a BrightWall Presentation
To create a new BrightWall, navigate to Create > BrightWall™.
• Save As: Enter the name of the new BrightWall project.
• Where: Choose where to save the BrightWall project file. Note that this is different from the presentation file that
will actually be published to the players.
• BrightSign Model: Choose the BrightSign player model that will display the video wall. All players that are part of
the video wall must be the same model type. The following models can play BrightWall presentations: HD220,
HD1020, XD230, XD1030, XD1230.
• Connector type: Choose the connector (HDMI, VGA, Component) that each player will use to connect to its
screen. All players that are part of a video wall must use the same connector.
