I’ve never done one. Would it make sentence to assemble with TV’s face down on the floor. Then unhook the frame from the TV and mount it to the wall. Lastly pick up each TV and hang it. Did you say the top TV’s may need to flip over?
That’s one of my thoughts on this too. I get why manufacturers make wall panels for companies but they could do the same for homes but they price way too high for mid-high end home use.
Looking at putting a 2x2 video wall in my bar. I can watch it as a big display or watch 4 separate games at one. Couple questions. 1. Do you need a computer for the set up or just the matrix switch? 2. What is the best way to run the TVs individually, one remote would essentially change them all which seems frustrating. 3. Could a fire stick work as an input source for the video wall?
Hi Jonathan , yes make sure you get a video wall / matrix controller . If it is just a video wall controller you can only have it set for one image. The controller has to have the option to run in matrix mode . With the matrix option it would give you 4 seperate inputs or more depending if you are going to have a 2 x2 configuration( 4 TVs) or 3 x 3 ect. A fire stick or Apple TV work great. and most controllers are just plug and play. You don't need a computer to run the video wall. You can run cable boxes into each input . Some cable providers have a compressed signal and may be a not perfect image if you use large displays 65" or bigger and switch to video wall mode. The image is a little pixelated up close but fine if you are a little farther away.
The controller allows you to rotate image on any of the 4 displays. It's a very user friendly front panel interphase. The controller I used is Video Wall option only . You can get controllers that have a Matrix /Video Wall option that will allow you to have 4 separate inputs to go to each display or switch to a single image over the 4 displays.
thanks for the video. I'm slowly learning. If I used 2 16x9 screens in portrait to display a 16x9 video, would it smush the video to accommodate the mismatched aspect ratio or is there a way to display without distorting? My goal is 2 TVs hung on a wall in portrait to simulate a view through 2 windows.
Great video, thank you. With this set up, is it possible to watch something separate on individual TVs and at the press of a button use it as a video wall from one source?
Yes , absolutely I use this unit right now , It has matrix capabilities , 4 inputs to 4 TV's and the ability to quickly change to a Video Wall.brightlinkav.com/brightlinks-4x4-4k-hdmi-matrix-with-built-in-4k-video-wall-controller-and-multi-viewer.html

The two most common options for audio # 1 The controller has an audio output 3.5 mm / 1/8" that you can run to a bluetooth speaker or home theatre system. # 2 your source would also have an audio out. Hope that helps .
Hi Scott, thanks for taking the time to make the great video! I see you're still answering questions after a year, so I though I'd give it a try. I'm a total novice at this video wall thing, but have spent a TON of time and money doing what you have. My intent is for stage use, as I'm a musician. I'm trying to use my laptop, to play video content, through a 3X3 matrix switcher ($700 Chinese no-name), onto 9 LCD (4K) TVs. Sometimes...some of the TV's show content, but sadly, most of the time, none work at all. I get a lot of "no signal" messages. I'm using all brand new equipment, (switcher, laptop, TVs), including HDMI cables of varying lengths of 6'-15'. At this point, I'm MISERABLE and ready to give up and ditch the whole idea. If you were me...what would you think the problem is? Thanks so much!
Hey , sorry to hear , you are having issues. Don't throw in the towel yet ! The main issue people have with the " no signal" problem is HDMI cables . HDMI cables have ghosts in them . Some controllers and TV's have troubles making that hand shake connection. and for whatever reason some HDMI cables will just not work in that particular combination of controller and TV. I have had that issue with brand name cables and switched them out to Amazon's HDMI cables ( they seem to be good quality) and problem goes away . I would start there. Use same brand and length for all TV's . Hope this helps!
You could do 2 x 2 ( 4 TVs ) per side or 3 x 3 ( 9 TVs aside . A LED setup might be best for your setup . Much more durable than LCD . brightlinkav.com/video-walls/led-video-wall.html
yes absolutely , but you would need to make a custom graphic / video size because it would not be the usual 16:9 aspect ratio. I have done 1 x 3's that work great.
Hi Rob , I used 49" Brightlink Displaysbrightlinkav.com/brightlink-s-new-49-1080p-4k-w-multi-screen-video-wall-display-ultra-thin-3-5mm-bezel-super-bright-450cd-m.html
The documentations seems to say the output from the splitter is only 30hz is that correct? I also don't understand why it is splitting to 4K@30hz, is it up sampling? and if so why not let the TV do that they already have dedicated hardware to up sample which is probably better then this device can do. It does say it supports downscaling but does not specify the hz if downscales to. The last thing I want is to provide 60hz input and get my video wall running at 30hz. Can you clarify if the documentation is wrong?
Yes any (TV)display with an HDMI input will work , the source input quality is the most important part of a video wall . The better the input image ( 4K) the better the results of your video wall.
Hi Mic , you can use 1 1/2" square extruded aluminum (80/20) bars or buy the kit from Brightlink AV brightlinkav.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=wall+mounts
Thanks for your interest . The brackets that mount to the TV's are called TV Hooks . I am not sure if you can purchase TV Hooks seperate.The hooks I used were from Brightlink and were supplied to me for this video. If I can find the hooks sold separate I will let you know. You can purchase complete kit here: brightlinkav.com/aluminum-mounting-brakcet-for-video-wall-displays.html
@@AVquestions Thank you for your response. Are those brackets exclusive to brightlinks complete mounting kit? I have talked to hardware stores and local AV installers and they have never seen them before. I also looked on Amazon and haven't found them. I've already purchased the t-bars and other brackets based on your video and would be interested in purchasing those brackets separately.
This is a great idea! While I can find sources for the 1.5" extruded aluminum, I can't seem to find any of the brackets used. Could you provide me with a bit more detail as to where you found those for both the main extruded aluminum frame but also the bent aluminum bracket used to mount the TV's the extruded aluminum. Thanks!!!
It also depends on the bolt patterns for your TV's these brackets can be drilled to work in your application. You can email me at scott@vancouvervideowalls.com and I can show you more info.
I would like to have a video wall with option to either see one image across the 4 screens or four different Cable channels. Is that possible with your hardware?
Yes Gregory , what you need is a Video Wall Controller that has a Matrix option . This will allow you to have 4 HDMI inputs for 4 different sources . Then you can have each TV displaying a separate image or choose video wall mode and have 1 large image . I can give you more information if you would like, you can email me at scott@brightlinkav.com
Hi Joshua, the TV,s pretty much mount the same way upside down ,so thats straight forward. Rotating the image is done in the interface of the controller. It depends on the video wall controller you will be using , it must have the ability to rotate images ( most on the market should have that ability now) very easy to do on the Brightlink controller used in the video.You go into settings , choose the TV ( 1-4) that you want to rotate, choose rotate and thats it. Hope this helps !

Hey Scott, would it be a good idea to make a video wall with 2 tvs only with your product? I wanna do it to play video games and maybe watch some sports so…is there anything i need to know?
Yes you can create a video wall with 2 TV's but what you have to keep in mind is aspect ratio.What you would like to achieve is 16.9 or 4K 21.9 aspect ratio. This would not be achievable with only 2 TV's unfortunatly .It will strech the image out a little too much and look a little differnt than what you're use to.If you can go to 4 TV,s you would have a much better result.
Hello I know that your video was only how to set up a 2X2 setup for a TV wall is there a way to do a 3X3 setup or even a 4X4 setup similarly to the way you did your wall or is there a lot of more added steps?
This controller will allow you to have 4 different sources ( 4 inputs)that can be sent to each monitor or have 1 large image over the 4 monitors. Unfortunately you would need a cable box for each Chanel. brightlinkav.com/brightlinks-4x4-4k-hdmi-matrix-with-built-in-4k-video-wall-controller-and-multi-viewer.html
