Adding a video with a “VideoName_Number” file name to a screen will add all other videos with the same
format to their respective screen playlists. This behavior will only occur if the quantity of “VideoName_Number”
files corresponds to the number screens in the BrightWall presentation.
Example: Your BrightWall project consists of four screens. The video is split into four files, each file representing ¼
of the entire wall: “Intro_1.mpg”, “Intro_2.mpg”, “Intro_3.mpg”, and “Intro_4.mpg”. Only “Intro_1” will appear in the
Media Library of Screen 1. Adding “Intro_1” to Screen 1 will automatically add “Intro_2” to Screen 2, “Intro_3” to
Screen 3, and “Intro_4” to Screen 4. If your BrightWall project is expanded to six screens, then adding “Intro_1” will
not affect the playlists of the other screens because there are only four “Intro” video files.
For a Stretched BrightWall
