Chapter 6 – Creating a BrightWall
• 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: A 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. The BrightWall project is now expanded to six screens. 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 In to the playlist
will split the video among screens when the BrightWall screen is published.

Configuring a BrightWall Presentation
To configure a BrightWall presentation, navigate to File > BrightWall™ Properties.
Main
• Connector type: Modify the connector (HDMI, VGA, Component) that each player will use to connect to its screen.
• Screen resolution: Modify the resolution of each screen in the video wall. All video wall screens must have the
same resolution.
• View mode: Choose the view mode of the presentation. In Regular presentations, this option applies to videos on
individual screens, similar to the View Mode option found in the Zone Properties menu. In Stretched presentations,
this option applies to the entire wall. The following descriptions apply to Stretched presentations only:
o Scale to Fill: The video will be stretched over all screens in the video wall. If the aspect ratio of the video
wall does not match the ratio of the video content, the video will likely appear stretched or distorted.
o Letterboxed and Centered: The video will not be stretched. Instead, it will appear at the center of the video
wall at its original resolution, which may cover one or multiple screens. Areas of the video wall that are not
filled by the video will display the background color of the presentation.
