An introduction to Video wall types

Once you have decided on the size of your wall, There are two main options of how to display video content on a videowall; using tiled video or spanned video.

Tiled videos will look exactly as it sounds; with images tiled across the video wall, with a different video appearing on each screen. This can be quite an intense viewing experience if the videos are the same on each screen and they are all playing back at the same time, so if you use the same video for this technique, we recommend that you choose to stagger the start times of the videos. You can also have a different video appearing on each screen, or give us just a few videos, and have a few screens showing each one.

This is a great technique for drawing people in, as there is lots of content playing simultaneously, so makes for a really interesting and dynamic installation.

A spanned video will spread out across some or all of the screens in the video wall, using 2 or more CRT screens each displaying a section of the video. With this technique, you can display your content much larger, and with the gaps between the screens, creates a fantastic and sought-after retro TV wall appearance. 

The 2 different options can also be mixed together, for instance having a 2×2 spanned wall in the center of a 4×4 array, with single tiled videos around the outside. Your imagination is the only limit here, so feel free to go wild with your plans, and we will come up with the solution.
