LED wall controllers

Why an LED wall is different

LED walls stand out outdoors, in mall atriums and on stages thanks to their brightness and size. But they do not work like a TV: they are usually fed through a sending card or controller, their pixel dimensions differ from standard TV resolutions, and brightness needs adjusting to daylight. An LED wall fed at the wrong size looks blurred or has part of the picture cut off.

How it could work with MIA

Many LED controllers take their picture from a computer. Today MIA runs on Windows and Linux PCs in a browser in kiosk mode, and the Windows desktop app also has its own fullscreen player window. An LED wall could build on this: a program layout for the wall's exact pixel size, a schedule that sets the controller's brightness by time of day, and monitoring that shows the controller's status in the panel. Content would still come from folders and programs, and free zones are a good starting point for non-standard sizes. The LED wall would then be updated through the same deployment flow as your other screens. Which settings can be managed remotely depends on the controller make and model.

What we need to know to scope it

• The pixel size and physical size of the wall
• The make and model of the controller or sending card
• Indoor or outdoor, and how bright it must be
• The computer that will feed the picture
• How many LED walls you have

With this we would suggest a short test on the wall itself first. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
