Video Wall for Institute of Sound&Vision

Printer-friendly version

Brightsign digital signage players are delivering synchronised video and still images for a 20m panoramic display at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (Beeld en Geluid) in Hilversum.
 
Hilversum is the Netherlands’ major centre for broadcast media production. Here, the “Beeld en Geluid Experience” offers 250,000 visitors per year a permanent exhibition of 15 themed multimedia areas. Temporary exhibitions complement the permanent displays, and one of the most popular shows this year is introduced on the huge panoramic video wall.
 
To drive this eye-catching exhibit, six Full HD BrightSign Media Players were supplied by system integrator Visual Hardware Services BV. Each unit delivers 1080p resolution output to a video projector. By dividing each screen into 24 zones, tiled six horizontally by four vertically, the exhibit simulates a long video wall of 108 individual displays. Video and moving still images tell the story of one of the Netherlands’ best-loved entertainers, and are displayed along the timeline of his 40-year career.
 
Five of the BrightSign players are synchronised to the sixth, which operates as the master unit. Slave players are linked so that they get a simultaneous start command when the exhibit is refreshed. During playback they all run according to their own schedule and timing.
