Video walls set your visuals apart from the rest. Whether you’re displaying your branded company content, interactive art, or the big game, people want to see it larger than life. The Best Buy 75” TV just isn’t going to cut it anymore… Let’s go epic!

LED Video Walls

LED video walls are the new standard within the video wall space. Their image is much brighter and more vivid compared to projectors or LCD video wall panels. LED video walls require less maintenance than LCD video walls. And without the lines (bezels) between the screens, viewers enjoy one massive media experience. If you’re going for a high tech, cutting-edge solution, then LED video walls are your answer.

Pixel Pitch

Pixel Pitch defines space in between each individual LED. The higher the pixel pitch, the further away the viewer needs to be from the wall for it to appear seamless, but this also makes for a more affordable LED screen. Below are common pixel pitch sizes and a good rule of thumb for viewing distances.

LCD VIDEO WALLS

Although they look similar to a “normal TV”, LCD video walls contain special-made displays that have much thinner bezels than consumer displays. The bezel size depends on the make and model of the display. While LCD video walls have been more affordable in the past, LED video walls are quickly becoming price competitive. The biggest drawback to LCD is the bezels on each panel that will cause the end result to have thin black lines compared to the seamless look of LED video walls.

CONFIGURATION

The configuration of a video wall is listed as number of displays wide by number of displays tall. For example, a 4×3 LCD wall is made up of 12 displays total- 4 displays across, and 3 displays tall.

    Hard Rock Hotel Resort Audio Video System

    We recently completed an exciting project for the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios Orlando, where we installed a stunning 3×3 video wall as part of their resort audio video system upgrade. This impressive video wall consists of nine 55″ displays while creating a striking centerpiece in the hotel’s newly renovated lobby.

    The entire system is powered and controlled by our custom programmed interfaces. This includes all hardware, including video wall processors, audio and video sources. We used durable cat-5 cables to connect the displays, saving our client from the expense of running new power lines. This design also allowed us to integrate the video wall with the hotel’s existing audio video system, meaning the content displayed on the wall can be seen and heard throughout the hotel.

    Customized Control with Ascend Studios’ iPad App

    At Ascend Studios, we provide custom-branded iPad apps to control all of our resort audio video systems. For Hard Rock Hotel, we completely updated their existing control system and added new features. Now, they have easy control over the video wall, hotel-wide audio zones, and video sources, all with real-time feedback.

    The app also includes integrated help files, improved Wi-Fi signal strength, HD graphics, and seamless access to our 24/7 Help Desk support. With our remote monitoring system, we can troubleshoot issues from anywhere in the world, ensuring that the system runs smoothly for guests.

    Resort-Wide Audio Video System Overhaul

    In addition to the video wall, our team redesigned the entire resort audio video system, covering the pool area, five ballrooms, and all public areas of the hotel. We replaced outdated equipment from the 1999 installation and installed our preprogrammed DSP processors and Crestron control system. This upgrade provided the hotel with a fully customizable audio system, allowing easy updates and scalability.

    The system, controlled via a 10″ touch screen and iPad, includes 96 audio zones, each with EQ, leveling, compression, and individual zone controls. We completed the system switch-over in a single night, minimizing disruption, and had everything up and running before 5 AM.

    Key Features of the Resort Audio Video System:

    • Nine 1920×1080 HD video wall displays with remote power and video connections
    • Custom themed iPad app for seamless control of audio and video systems
    • Integration with six cable boxes, a Blu-ray player, and a music video server
    • Full integration with the hotel’s existing audio system
    • Additional high-output speakers and subwoofers for enhanced sound
    • Local video DJ HDMI input for live events at the video wall
    • 96 controllable audio zones with advanced EQ and individual zone settings
    • Free 24/7 access to Ascend Studios’ Help Desk and remote support

    This upgraded resort audio video system ensures that Hard Rock Hotel provides a top-tier guest experience, with cutting-edge audio and video technology throughout their property.
