EasySignage Video Wall

A video wall joins several screens into one large display: one image or video is split across all of them. You set it up in two places:

  1. A video wall playlist (Playlists > Video Wall) holds the content, at the size of the whole wall.
  2. A video wall (Screens > Video Wall) says which screen is in which position, and plays the playlist.

Note: Connect the screens to the same wired network for the best result. Wi-Fi might not keep them in step. Only Android, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen screens can join a video wall.

 

Step 1: Create a Video Wall Playlist

  1. Click Playlists in the menu on the left, open the Video Wall tab, then click Add Video Wall.

The Video Wall tab in Playlists

  1. Type a Name (at least 3 characters) and choose the Screen Orientation.
  2. If you use teams, choose the Team that can use this playlist.
  3. Choose the Size: the number of screens across (X) by the number of rows (Y). For example, 2 by 1 is two screens side by side. You can have up to 7 screens in one row, or up to 4 across and 3 rows.
  4. Click Add, then click the new playlist in the list to open it.

Add Video Wall

 

  1. Add your content. A video wall playlist takes images, videos and documents from Upload media, Media Assets, Canva or Image Libraries. See Upload Media .

Content for a video wall playlist

 

  1. Wait while each file is processed: it is split into one part per screen, named by its position (1-1, 2-1 and so on). Design your content for the full size of the wall, for example 3840 x 1080 for a 2 by 1 wall of HD screens.
  2. Click Publish changes of this playlist.

 

Step 2: Add the Screens

Install the player on every screen and add each one to your account. See Screens . A 2 by 1 wall needs 2 screens.

 

Step 3: Create the Video Wall

  1. Click Screens in the menu on the left, open the Video Wall tab, then click Add Video Wall.

The Video Wall tab in Screens

  3. Click Back.

 

Step 5: Play the Playlist

  1. On the video wall’s row, click Set Screen Content.
  2. Click the video wall playlist from Step 1.
  3. Click Publish. The screens download the content and play it together.
