It is more than likely you have already seen video walls in action. You may have seen one at a local pub where the pub has a variety of professional sports being displayed at the same time or all of the screens incorporated into one large screen when the local team is playing. Maybe you saw a video wall in a waiting area or on the end wall inside an arena. If not in these type of venues, you have surely seen video walls in office buildings, shopping centres, or entertainment complexes. The truth is, the applications for video walls are endless due to their flexibility.
The magic behind video walls is in the Content Management Software, or CMS, which allows the separate video panels within a video wall to be broken up into zones. Each zone can display its’ own content or can be incorporated into one, or several, larger zones. Examples of what these zones can display:
- Static images like .jpg, .gif, .png, .jpeg, and many more
- Digital movies like .mov, .mpeg, . mp4, .avi, .swf and many more
- Powerpoint presentations
- RSS feed information such as athletic scores, weather, stock tickers, emergency alerts, etc.
- Live video from a cable box, satellite, DVD/Blueray player, etc.
The different formats of content can be displayed at the same time on different zones within the video wall.
