Chapter 6 – Creating a BrightWall
o Fill Screen and Centered: The video will be stretched to the height or width of the video wall (whichever
length is greater). If the aspect ratio of the video wall does not match the ratio of the video content, the video
will be cut off at the height or the width (whichever length is lesser).
Dimensions
• Rows and Columns: Modify the height and width of the target video wall.
o Number of rows: Modify the height of the video wall (in number of screens).
o Number of columns: Modify the width of the video wall (in number of screens).
• Bezel Width and Height:(Stretched Only) Account for the bezel size of the monitors that make up the video wall.
This allows for better alignment of videos in the video wall. This option is only available for stretched BrightWall
presentations. For regular presentations, bezel width and height will need to be accounted for in the content
creation application.
o By percentage: Enter the bezel width and height as percentages. Use the following calculation to determine
bezel percentages:
 Width: The width of the bezel between active screens (i.e. the total of both left and right bezels)
divided by the width of an active screen. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, a video wall
made up of screens with a width of 42 inches and a 1 inch bezel on each side would be calculated as
follows:(2”/42”)*100=5%
 Height: The height of the bezel between active screens (i.e. the total of both left and right bezels)
divided by the height of an active screen. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, a video wall
made up of screens with a height of 23.625 inches and a 1 inch bezel on each side would be
calculated as follows: (2”/23.625”)*100=8%
Note: Bezel width and height percentages must be specified as integers (i.e. whole numbers that are
positive).
o By measurement: Enter the bezel width, bezel height, screen width, and screen height in millimeters (mm).
BrightAuthor will make the calculations automatically.
