Chapter 6 – Creating a BrightWall
• Screen resolution: Choose the resolution of each screen in the video wall. All video wall screens must have the
same resolution. You can view all available screen resolutions on the Support Section of the BrightSign website.
Note: Individual screens only support video files in landscape mode.
• Monitor overscan: Select an overscan setting to determine how each video fills the display screen.
o No overscan – use full screen: Displays video to the edge of the video signal.
o Overscan – action safe: Restricts the image display to an area that is compatible with most displays.
o Overscan – title safe: Restricts the image display to an area that is much smaller than the image generated
by the video signal.
• Type: Choose either a Regular or Stretched BrightWall presentation:
o Regular: Each panel of the BrightWall presentation is made up of a different video file. To create a single
video surface out of multiple screens, video assets will need to be tailored for the video wall using the source
application (e.g. Adobe After Effects): You will need to split the videos into their respective screens and
adjust for bezel width before adding the assets to BrightAuthor.
o Stretched: The video wall is made up of a single video. BrightAuthor automatically splits the video among
the screens. This option also allows you to display Streaming Video, Live Video, and RF In as a stretched
video wall. You can make adjustments to bezel width in the BrightWall Properties menu.
put
• Number of rows: Specify the vertical length of the video wall (in number of screens).
• Number of columns: Specify the horizontal length of the video wall (in number of screens).
• Domain: Specify a domain number between 0 and 127. This number needs to be unique for each video wall on the
network. This will ensure that multiple video walls can be installed on the same local network without
synchronization messages interfering with each other.
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.
