Have you ever imagined photos on a wall moving like the paintings in Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter? Now, that experience can come to your venue through Video Wall, the latest companion feature from Glava which turns a collection of monitors into an interactive gallery of video recordings from your visitors' photo booth sessions. Moving, alive, and constantly updated in real time.
What Is Video Wall?
Video Wall is a multi-monitor display system that automatically pulls video recordings from Glava photobox machines and plays them across several screens at once. Instead of a static wall of printed photos or posters, your venue can now have a digital wall showing authentic moments of your visitors: laughing, posing, jumping, and replayed like magical living photo frames.
Only one PC is needed to control all the screens, making the installation practical for mall lobbies, waiting areas, exhibition booths, and even photo walls at tourist destinations.
How Video Wall Works
1. One PC, Multiple Monitors
All display output is controlled from a single computer connected to several monitors at once. The monitors do not need to be identical. You are free to combine screens of different sizes as well as portrait and landscape orientations to suit your venue's layout.
2. Automatic Video Capture from the Photobox
Video Wall connects directly to GoPoto's server and automatically pulls the latest session recordings, with no manual process needed. This system is flexible for two scenarios:
- Single booth: suitable for a venue with one photo booth location.
- Multi-booth: combines video feeds from several booth units at once, ideal for large malls or stores with many photo spots.
3. Displaying the 10 Latest Videos
To keep content fresh and relevant, Video Wall displays the 10 most recent photo booth session videos. These videos can be played in two modes:
- Random: creates a more dynamic and unpredictable viewing experience.
- Sequential: plays videos in the order they were recorded, suitable for a chronological feel.
4. Flexible Content per Screen
Each monitor in a Video Wall installation can be configured to show the same content simultaneously on all screens, or to show different videos on each screen. As a result, the photo wall feels more alive and varied, like a gallery of moving paintings where each frame has its own “story”.
5. Respecting Visitor Privacy
This is the most important part of Video Wall: only sessions that have received visitors' consent will be displayed. During the photo session, visitors will be asked to consent to showing their video on public screens. If a visitor selects “no,” that video is automatically excluded from the Video Wall display rotation. This system ensures an enjoyable experience without compromising your visitors' privacy and comfort.
Why Is Video Wall Worth Considering for Your Venue?
- Attracting attention organically: screens showing the real faces of visitors having fun are far more engaging than static content or generic ads.
- Encouraging participation: visitors who see their friends (or themselves) appear on a large screen are more inclined to try the photo booth themselves.
- Flexible installation: the freedom to mix monitor sizes and orientations makes Video Wall easy to adapt to any venue's shape and size, from narrow mall corridors to large walls at tourist attractions.
- Scalable: supports feeds from one or many booths at once, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small cafes to large shopping centers.
- Privacy protected: the built-in consent mechanism makes this feature safe to use, with no risk of displaying content that visitors do not want shown.
What Kind of Venue Is It Suited For?
Video Wall is well suited to locations with high visitor traffic and active photo booth sessions, such as:
- Malls and shopping centers
- Tourist destinations and attractions
- Event and exhibition areas
- Cafes or public spaces with a Glava photo booth installation
Conclusion
Video Wall brings a touch of Hogwarts magic to the real world: digital frames that display your visitors' living moments automatically, flexibly, and with respect for privacy through its built-in consent system. As a companion feature to Glava, Video Wall is a new way to turn the empty walls of your venue into an interactive gallery that keeps changing and always has new stories to show.
