Wall Content
Wall Content
Creating and publishing content for video walls requires special considerations for resolution, aspect ratio, and content design.
Resolution Planning
Video wall content must be created at the total resolution of the wall:
- 2x2 wall (1080p screens): Create content at 3840x2160
- 3x3 wall (1080p screens): Create content at 5760x3240
- 1x4 LED strip: Create content at the total LED pixel width x height
Creating Wall Content
In GoVista Design Editor: 1. Create a new design 2. Set the canvas to the total wall resolution 3. Design your content considering the screen grid 4. Export and add to a playlist
Using External Tools: 1. Create content in your preferred design tool (Photoshop, Canva, After Effects) 2. Export at the exact total resolution 3. Upload to GoVista 4. Assign to the video wall playlist
Using AI Studio: 1. Generate images at the closest supported aspect ratio 2. Upscale if needed 3. Edit in the design editor for precise fit
Design content with the bezel positions in mind. Avoid placing important text or faces where bezels will cut through them. Use the bezel overlay in the editor to visualize screen boundaries.
Content Best Practices
- Bold and simple — Video walls are seen from a distance, keep designs clean
- High contrast — Text must be readable from across the room
- Motion attracts — Use video and animation to leverage the wall's impact
- Avoid clutter — Do not put too much information on the wall
- Consider zones — Not everything needs to span all screens
Publishing to Video Walls
1. Create a playlist with wall-resolution content 2. Deploy to the video wall group 3. GoVista automatically distributes content to each screen 4. Each screen renders its portion of the total canvas
Testing
Before going live:
1. Test with a grid pattern to verify alignment 2. Check bezel compensation settings 3. Verify color consistency across screens 4. Test video playback synchronization
Video wall content files can be very large due to high resolutions. Ensure all devices have sufficient storage and bandwidth to download the content. Consider using wired Ethernet connections.
