Setting up an LED video wall in your Cincinnati-area conference room or boardroom can be a complex process. Your best bet is to use a local video wall installation company such as Midwest Audio Visual.
We install and set up video walls every day, and know all the tricks.
First, we discuss the purpose of the video wall, which will influence the size, resolution and type of displays you need.
Choosing a display panel is the next, very important step. Each display type has different characteristics. Brightness, resolution, and aspect ratio are some of the factors that help you make an informed choice.
Selecting the video wall size and aspect radio comes next. You want to be sure the wall fits the dimensions of your displays, and the aspect ratio suits your content and layout.
Once the right-size video wall is ordered, it is time to plan for mounting. Midwest AV will guide you in choosing the best wall mount, floor stand and/or custom frame.
It is critical to choose a mounting structure sturdy enough for your wall, that can handle its weight. This is one of the reasons it is smart to use a professional to install your video wall.
Planning for the inputs (e.g., computers, media players) upfront will guarantee compatibility with your video wall system. When you use a Midwest AV installer, we use high-quality cables to ensure signal integrity, are scrupulous about organizing and managing the cables to prevent clutter and interference. We use appropriate signal distribution methods and hardware (e.g., video processors and splitters) to give you consistent and high-quality image across all displays.
Fine-tuning after the installation and setup of your video wall
We take extra time to:
- Calibrate each display for color consistency and uniformity across the video wall.
- Blend edges. If your wall uses displays with bezels, we adjust the settings to blend edges and minimize visible lines between screens.
- Adjust the resolution.
Determining the best controller
Your video wall controller will manage input sources, allow you to switch between various pieces of content and control display settings. Your Midwest installer will recommend one that supports your desired configuration and content types.
Training, support and maintenance
Typically, a few additional panels come with your package (typically 10%). This will allow for quick swaps of panels in case a panel has an issue. We make sure your displays and components are accessible for maintenance and repairs.
If your video wall requires service, your Midwest installation team will integrate these features, ensure they function reliably, and train your operators on them.
