How to Set Up Vdeo Wall Software

1) What is a Video Wall?

A Video Wall lets you combine multiple screens into a single visual layout — for example 2×2, 1×2, or custom arrangements.
Inside a Video Wall you can:

• place different content in each tile (zone).
  
• group multiple screens into one big display.
  
• build slides (multiple scenes that change over time).
  
• preview everything before publishing.

Option 1 — Windows Video Wall

Maximum Performance & Full Control (Recommended for Professional Installations)

This setup uses a Windows PC connected to multiple displays configured in Extended Desktop mode, where Windows combines all screens into one large digital canvas.

Why choose Windows?

Choose this option when you need:

• A powerful 2×2 up to 10×10 video wall
• True 4K output per screen
• Multiple independent videos playing at the same time
• Complex layouts with grouped screens and dynamic slides
• Long-term scalability for enterprise environments

With Windows, each screen becomes part of a single high-resolution workspace.
AIScreen can then divide this space into zones and run different content streams simultaneously.

This setup is ideal for:

• Retail flagship stores
• Corporate lobbies
• Control rooms
• Large digital menu boards
• Event backdrops
• High-traffic commercial environments

If your wall must run continuously, display multiple 4K videos, or scale over time — Windows is the most reliable and future-proof solution.

Option 2 — Video Wall Controller + AIScreen Player

Simple & Cost-Effective Setup

This setup combines:

• AIScreen Stick (or other AIScreen player)
• A video wall controller (such as J-Tech)
• Multiple connected displays

The AIScreen player outputs one signal, and the controller splits or stretches that signal across the wall.

Why choose this option?

Choose this setup when:

• You want a fast, plug-and-play installation
• You are building a simple 2×2 or 2×3 wall
• You mainly display one video across the entire wall
• You need a more budget-friendly solution
• You do not require multiple heavy 4K streams simultaneously

This setup is ideal for:

• Retail promotions
• Restaurant menu boards
• Small showrooms
• Trade show booths
• Temporary installations

⚠ Important:
A video wall controller distributes the signal — it does not increase resolution or processing power.
If you plan to run multiple independent high-resolution videos, a Windows setup may be more appropriate.
