Designing Video Wall Solutions Massive 8x7 Video Wall in NYC
Questions to Ask… • What’s the Video Wall going to be used for? Lobby signage, NOC, Presentation System, Rental Unit • One large image (across the entire video wall) or multiple sources (one per screen)? • What sources will you be using? PC, Sat or CATV, BluRay DVD? • Will there be a control system (AMX, Crestron, PC controller)? • Who will be using or managing the video wall after it is installed? • If you’re intending to wall mount the video wall, is the existing wall structurally sound? Are you willing to add or reinforce the existing wall structure? • Do you currently have electric outlets at the location, or can you have outlets added? • LCD monitors come with different bezel widths, which one looks best for the budget you have? (See next slide for comparison)

Display Wall Color Calibration (part # KT-46UN-CC) Displays can be easily calibrated for color & brightness uniformity across the video wall. Highly recommend using digital inputs. Analog inputs (VGA, RGBVH,etc) show signal noise degradation . This will make it more difficult to calibrate for uniformity.
Unistrut might be cheap…Installation Labor is Expensive! Unistrut is relatively inexpensive to use as a wall mount. However, it takes 4 technicians to service this video wall. Two people in the front on a lift, and two in the back with socket wrenches.
