Digital Signage Video Wall and Multi-Screen Software

What is a video wall?

When setting up a digital signage video wall, you typically arrange multiple digital screens on a wall in a grid pattern. This creates a large visual canvas where content is displayed. Commonly, screens are positioned in a rectangular layout, such as three screens wide by two screens tall.

However, it’s important to note that video walls offer more flexibility than just a grid pattern. Screens can be mounted in various configurations or orientations, providing versatility in design. The key lies in how you publish content across all the screens.

This is where Navori Labs’ QL digital signage software shines. QL empowers you to drive video walls and manage the viewing experience effectively. With QL, you have the capability to display content that spans across all the screens, as well as content that spans specific screens. Additionally, you can create unique content tailored to each individual screen. QL even supports mixed screen configurations, allowing for both vertically and horizontally mounted screens.

QL lets you achieve many different scenarios:

Play a single content (video or image) across an entire video wall

You treat the entire group of screens into a single virtual display. Using QL Content Manager, drag and drop individual content into a scheduled playlist and publish. A single PC or device running QL Player will then treat the connected screens as a single canvas and the content will span the screens.

Play individual content on each screen

If you want to display different videos or a combination of videos and images on individual screens, you can easily achieve this effect using QL Template Designer. Simply launch the designer and create a template that spans all the screens. Following the example mentioned earlier, you can create four content zones (playlist or media) and adjust their size and position to cover each individual screen. These four zones will have the capability to play a mix of playlists or media independently.

By default, the template will assume the duration of the longest running content in any zone. In the meantime, the content in other zones will loop continuously until the template finishes. However, if you prefer to avoid continuous looping of content, you can choose to have it pause while the longer running content plays.

Play individual content on each vertical pair of screens.

A video is shown across the two left screens while the two right screens show a series of images. To achieve this effect, launch QL Template Designer and create a template that spans all the screens. Then, you create two zones (playlist or media) that you size and position so each one covers the area of two stacked screens. The content will play independently in each zone. QL lets you even assign transitions between your images for professional results.

  1. Content Planning: Start by defining your objectives and target audience. Develop a content strategy that aligns with your goals and creates a cohesive message across the video wall. Consider factors like screen layout, resolution, and orientation.
  2. High-Quality Content: Invest in high-resolution visuals and videos that are optimized for the video wall’s resolution. Ensure that the content is visually appealing, engaging, and relevant to your audience. Use compelling imagery, clear typography, and vibrant colors to grab attention.
  3. Screen Layout: Determine the optimal screen layout based on the video wall configuration. Consider the aspect ratio and arrangement of screens to create visually balanced and seamless displays. Avoid placing important content near the bezels, as they may disrupt the overall viewing experience.
  4. Simplicity and Readability: Keep your content concise and easily readable from a distance. Avoid cluttering the screen with excessive text or complex graphics. Use large fonts, clear messaging, and minimalistic design to convey information effectively.
  5. Motion and Animation: Leverage motion and animation to attract attention and enhance engagement. However, be mindful not to overwhelm viewers with excessive or distracting movements. Use subtle transitions, smooth animations, and controlled motion to create an immersive experience.
  6. Content Scheduling: Plan your content schedule to ensure the right message is displayed at the right time. Consider the time of day, day of the week, or any specific events or promotions that may influence your content rotation. Regularly update your content to keep it fresh and relevant.
  7. Testing and Calibration: Regularly test and calibrate the video wall to ensure consistent image quality and color accuracy across all screens. Monitor and adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings to provide a uniform viewing experience.
  8. User Experience: Consider the viewing distance and angle of the video wall when designing your content. Ensure that important information is placed at an appropriate height and readable from different perspectives. Optimize the content for both close-up and far-away viewing.
  9. Maintenance and Support: Regularly maintain and clean the video wall to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Establish a support system to address any technical issues promptly and keep the video wall running smoothly.

By following these best practices, you can maximize the impact of your digital signage video walls and deliver engaging and memorable experiences to your audience.
