Video Walls.

Pixels at the scale of architecture.

Direct-view LED, fine-pitch LCD and rear-projection video walls for command centres, lobbies, broadcast studios, control rooms and event venues.

Video Walls — premium installation context

/ The discipline, in detail

How we approach video walls.

A video wall is not a row of screens — it is a single, calibrated canvas. We specify pixel pitch to the closest viewer, brightness to the ambient light, and colour gamut to the content. Mullions are eliminated where the design requires it; bezels are accepted where they earn their place.

We commission with calibration probes per panel, a documented uniformity report, and a controller capable of source-routing without latency. Servicing access — tools-free panel removal, redundant power, hot-swap controllers — is designed in.

On record

Every video walls engagement is documented end-to-end — design, programming, commissioning, calibration — and handed over with the files our successors would need if we were never to return.

/ Where we deploy this

Active across 4 sectors.

Video Walls is rarely a standalone brief — it sits inside a wider sector practice with its own codes, expectations and operating rhythm.

/ Sister services

The rest of av.

A serious brief usually crosses two or three of these. Read across the discipline — we deliver them as one contract.

Video Walls on the ground.

The reference projects below carry a video walls layer engineered as part of an integrated stack. Each case study walks through the engineering challenges that were solved, the standards the work was held to, and the operational outcome on the day-two team.

/ Frequently asked

Video Walls — what buyers ask first.

What pixel pitch do I need?

Pixel pitch matches viewing distance — minimum viewing distance in metres roughly equals pixel pitch in millimetres (P1.5 needs 1.5 m, P2.5 needs 2.5 m). Minimum viewing distance in metres ≈ pixel pitch in millimetres. A P1.5 LED wall is comfortable from 1.5m; a P2.5 needs 2.5m. We measure the actual sightlines before recommending.

Direct-view LED or fine-pitch LCD — which should we specify?

Direct-view LED is the right answer for any application where the wall is visible from far enough that the LED's pixel pitch (P0.9, P1.5, P2.5) suits the closest viewer. LCD video walls remain useful where ultra-thin bezels (1mm) and 4K-per-tile resolution at close distance matter — typically command-and-control rooms. Cost crossover is now around the 110-inch mark.

What's the right pixel pitch for a given room?

Rule of thumb: closest-viewer-distance in metres × 0.5 ≈ maximum pixel pitch in mm. A boardroom wall viewed from 3m comfortably needs P1.5 or finer. A lobby wall viewed from 8m can run P3. Outdoor signage is a different calculation again — we model each project.

How do you handle calibration across a multi-tile video wall?

Every panel is calibrated for colour, brightness and gamma at the factory and re-checked on site after installation using a spectroradiometer. The video processor (Userful, Datapath, AMX) handles edge-blending and uniformity correction. Quarterly recalibration during AMC keeps the wall looking like a single canvas as panels age.

What's the lifecycle of a direct-view LED wall?

Indoor LED walls run 80,000–100,000 hours to half-brightness — about 11–14 years at 16 hours/day. Power-supply modules are the typical first replacement at year 5–7. We hold spare LED modules and PSUs for active deployments so a panel failure is recoverable in hours.

Can a video wall display content from multiple sources at once?

Yes — a video processor (Userful, Datapath FX4, AMX N-series) routes any source to any region of the wall, in any layout, with low-latency switching. Most command-centre walls run 4–12 sources tiled simultaneously; lobby walls typically run a single curated channel.
