98 Chapter 6 – Creating a BrightWall
Note: The BrightWall Type (Stretched or Regular) is not specified in the BrightWall Configuration file. Instead, you set
this option for each individual BrightWall presentation.
o By percentage: Enter the bezel width and height as percentages. Use the following calculation to determine
bezel percentages:
 Width: The width of the bezel between active screens (i.e. the total of both left and right bezels)
divided by the width of an active screen. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, a video wall
made up of screens with a width of 42 inches and a 1 inch bezel on each side would be calculated as
follows:
(2”/42”)*100=5%
 Height: The height of the bezel between active screens (i.e. the total of both top and bottom bezels)
divided by the height of an active screen. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, a video wall
made up of screens with a height of 23.625 inches and a 1 inch bezel on each side would be
calculated as follows:
(2”/23.625”)*100=8%
Note: Bezel width and height percentages must be specified as integers (i.e. whole numbers that are
positive).
o By measurement: Enter the bezel width, bezel height, screen width, and screen height in millimeters (mm).
BrightAuthor will make the calculations automatically.

• Type: Choose whether the BrightWall presentation is Regular or Stretched:
o Regular: Each panel of the BrightWall presentation is made up of a different video file. To create a single
video surface out of multiple screens, video assets will need to be tailored for the video wall using the source
application (e.g. Adobe After Effects): You will need to split the videos into their respective screens and
adjust for bezel width before adding the assets to BrightAuthor.
