Video Wall Overview

A video wall is multiple screens arranged together to create one large display. GoVista supports video wall configuration and content management.

What is a Video Wall?

A video wall uses multiple individual displays arranged in a grid to show:

  • One large image or video stretched across all screens
  • Different content zones on different screens
  • A combination of both

Supported Configurations

Grid Layouts:

  • 2x2 (4 screens)
  • 3x3 (9 screens)
  • 4x4 (16 screens)
  • Custom grids (any MxN arrangement)

Orientation:

  • All landscape
  • All portrait
  • Mixed (for artistic installations)

Hardware Requirements

Displays:

  • Commercial-grade displays with thin bezels
  • Matched models for consistent color and brightness
  • VESA mount compatible

Controllers:

  • NovaStar TU15 Pro — For LED walls
  • NovaStar TB40 — For larger LED installations
  • MCTRL controllers — For professional LED setups
  • Android players — One per screen for matrix configurations

For the best visual result, use displays from the same manufacturer, model, and production batch. Even slight color differences between screens are noticeable on a video wall.

GoVista Video Wall Features

  • Grid configuration — Define rows, columns, and screen positions
  • Bezel compensation — Adjust for the physical gap between screens
  • Content zones — Assign different content to different areas
  • Sync methods — Synchronized playback across all screens
  • Timeline-based layouts — Change wall configuration over time

Content Resolution

Video wall content should match the total resolution:

  • 2x2 wall of 1080p screens = 3840x2160 total
  • 3x3 wall of 1080p screens = 5760x3240 total

GoVista handles the splitting and distribution automatically.

LED Walls

For LED walls with NovaStar controllers:

  • Content is sent to the controller as a single feed
  • The controller distributes pixels to LED modules
  • Supports extreme aspect ratios common in LED installations

Video walls require careful planning. Consider the total resolution, content creation workflow, mounting, cabling, and controller setup before purchasing hardware.
