The average video wall has a lifespan of 5-7 years. During this time, one or more LCD panels will likely need to be repaired or replaced.
The mounting apparatus of the video wall should accommodate easy access to the LCD panels, facilitating easy removal if necessary. As with cooling, panel access usually goes unnoticed unless it is done incorrectly. And it probably won’t be apparent until panels begin to fail or require maintenance. Knowing what to expect ahead of time, and being able to anticipate issues before they become serious problems, distinguishes the professional video-wall installer from the amateur. |

Video Walls: Then and Now |
The next major innovation in video walls was the development of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology. Video wall users were coming to the full realization of the limits of CRT technology. As you might expect, the first LCD displays were less-than-perfect. Full-motion video was far from spectacular. And the color was awful to say the least. On the other hand, LCD displays provided benefits such as clearer graphics and 100%l image stability.

Although rear-projection displays and LCD technology are no longer state-of-the-art, their development eventually led to todays video wall technology. So whats the point in learning about the past use of Laser Discs and PICBLOC to operate video walls? It will help you to appreciate todays video wall technology better. Powerful multi-monitor computers have solved the memory problem. And digital technology has replaced the analog variety.

Getting continuity shots right is at the core of shooting a seamless sequence which will edit together well. The three principles of geography, crossing the line and direction of movement are the cornerstones of what makes it all work.
This takes a lot of effort and co-ordination as well as preparation. The idea is to set the scene with cutaways and close-ups, and lots of extra footage. While shooting like this, keep consistent shot sizes, heights and looking room in order for them to be spliced and edited effectively. This collects a lot of usable footage for the geography element of continuity. |
