DisplayNyx
Video walls

Many screens. One big, seamless picture.

Group 2 to 64 screens into a video wall that plays one image or video across all of them, in sync. Bezel compensation hides the picture behind each frame, so the wall looks like one display, not a row of TVs.

Everything a video wall needs, without a hardware controller

Screen groups turn ordinary screens running the DisplayNyx player into a single display you manage from the same dashboard as the rest of your screens.

Any grid, 2 to 64 screens

Pick the rows and columns and DisplayNyx creates a screen for every position. Each one shows exactly its own slice of the picture.

Every screen in sync

Every screen works out what to play from the clock, not from the others, so the wall stays in step and a screen that restarts joins back in at the right moment.

Bezel compensation

Enter each screen's frame widths in millimetres and the picture carries on behind the frames, so a diagonal line or a logo crossing a seam stays perfectly straight.

A rotation, not just one file

Build a sequence of images and videos for the wall, each with its own duration, transition, playback speed, and sound settings.

Deploy the same wall to many stores

Add a location and every screen in the group gets its own pairing code there. Roll the same wall layout out to as many sites as you like.

Orientation and rotation per screen

Mix landscape and portrait screens in one wall, and set each screen's own rotation to match how it is mounted, without changing the rest of the location.

Why bezel compensation matters

The frames around each screen leave gaps in the picture. Split the picture evenly and every diagonal, circle, or line of text jumps at the seams. Treat the frames as part of the picture instead, and the wall reads as one display seen through a window frame.

Landscape, portrait, or both

Every screen in a wall has its own orientation and its own rotation. Put a portrait screen between two landscape ones, run a column of portrait screens beside a landscape grid, or turn a single unit that had to be mounted upside down. The picture still flows across all of them.

  • Orientation per screen: portrait screens get a tall slice, landscape a wide one
  • Rotation per screen (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°), overriding the location for that screen only
  • Screens sit centred in a mounting grid, so a mixed wall never overlaps

How it works

From separate screens to one wall in three steps

01

Create a screen group

Name it and choose rows and columns. A screen is created for every position, and you set each one's orientation and rotation to match how it is mounted.

02

Measure the frames

On the Bezels tab, enter the screen size and each screen's frame widths. A live test pattern shows exactly how the wall will look.

03

Add media and pair the screens

Build the wall's rotation, add a location, and enter each screen's pairing code on its display. The wall starts playing straight away.

Frequently asked

What is bezel compensation?

Every screen has a plastic frame (the bezel) around its picture, so a wall of screens has dark gaps between them. Without compensation, each screen shows an even share of the picture and anything crossing a gap looks broken. With compensation, DisplayNyx treats the gaps as part of the picture and hides the part that would sit behind each frame, like looking through a window frame, so straight lines stay straight.

Do I need special video wall screens or a hardware controller?

No. Any screen running the DisplayNyx player on Windows, macOS, or Linux can be part of a wall, with Android players on the way. Narrow-bezel commercial panels give the most seamless look, but regular TVs work too, and bezel compensation makes their thicker frames far less noticeable.

How do the screens stay in sync?

Each screen calculates what should be on screen from the current time and the wall's rotation, so they all land on the same item at the same moment without depending on each other. If one screen reboots or drops offline, it rejoins at the right point instead of starting from the beginning.

Can I mix portrait and landscape screens in one wall?

Yes. Each screen in a wall has its own orientation. A portrait screen gets a tall, narrow slice of the picture and a landscape screen a wide one, and DisplayNyx lays them out like a mounting grid, with each screen centred in its slot, so the picture still lines up across all of them.

What if one screen is mounted sideways or upside down?

Set that screen's rotation to 90°, 180°, or 270° from the wall's Grid tab. It overrides the location's rotation for that one screen only, so the rest of the screens at the location keep their own setting. Leave it on Location default to follow the location.

Can different screens in the wall have different frame sizes?

Yes. You can set the top, right, bottom, and left frame width for each screen separately, which helps when a wall mixes panel batches or one side is mounted differently.

How many screens can one wall have?

Anywhere from 2 to 64, in any rows by columns grid, for example a 2x2, a 3x3, or a 1x4 strip. Each screen in the wall is billed like any other screen.

Can I show an urgent announcement on a video wall?

Yes. Announcements, text-to-speech, and live voice broadcasts take over a wall's screens just like any other screen, and the wall resumes its rotation afterwards.
