The Benefits of Using Video Walls at Live Events

Video walls provide a stunning visual element that enhances your presentation and engages audience members. You can incorporate video walls into your event lighting and stage design to develop a more immersive experience for guests.

Programmable LED walls offer an opportunity for real-time interactivity. Use a video wall for interactive polls, or collect audience feedback in seconds. You can even get creative with interactive art displays or gamification of event activities using a video wall.

Key Considerations When Planning a Video Wall Setup

When planning a video wall setup, there are a few key considerations. Screen resolution and layout can affect the appearance and interactive capabilities of your video wall. You may also need to adjust the venue’s lighting conditions to optimize screen visibility.

Before your event, you’ll have a discovery meeting with Studio46 to discuss these considerations, and you’ll get a customized solution based on how you plan to use the video wall.

Creative Ways to Use Video Walls at Your Event

There are plenty of creative ways to use video walls that go far beyond simply broadcasting main-stage events or showing ads. Here are some ideas you might want to try with a video wall at your next event:

• Creating vibrant, immersive stage backdrops for speeches and performances
• Developing live social media feeds
• Creating custom branding throughout the event
• Making interactive video montages with photos and video provided ahead of time or captured at the event
• Providing extra information about performers, players in sporting events, or event attendees in real-time
• Broadcasting onstage events to give an up-close look even for attendees watching from a distance

Technical Requirements for a Successful Video Wall Installation

Setting up a video wall can get complicated when you consider sourcing the necessary hardware and software, providing power to the wall, and keeping everything connected during your event.

Fortunately, Studio46 makes the process simple by handling all the set up and testing steps for you. The Studio46 team remains on-site during your event to provide technical support and then dismantles the equipment and cleans up the site when you’re done.

Working With a Professional AV Team for Your Video Wall

Partnering with a professional AV team ensures that your video wall is successfully installed and operational before your event begins. Content optimization with aid from your team helps everything run smoothly, and you can use scheduled pre-event testing and rehearsals to identify potential issues before you start. This pre-event check helps prevent synchronization errors and mismatched content formats that could cause disruptions.

Once your event starts, your AV team can monitor the video wall and make changes as needed. From technical support to live adjustments, having an AV team on-site lets you concentrate on other aspects of your event. In addition to video wall support, you can also contract for event production and management, including lighting, audio and video production, venue logistics, and online streaming of the event.
