Software-Defined Video Walls

Video walls shouldn't cost a fortune or need an integrator.

Every video wall project starts the same way: a $15,000 hardware controller, a specialist to configure it, and a phone call every time you want to change the layout. What if the hardware controller was software? What if you could design any layout — L-shapes, staggered clusters, mixed screen sizes — and deploy it from your browser?

The Problem

Video walls are expensive, complicated, and locked behind specialists.

You want a stunning video wall in your showroom, lobby, or retail store. The quote comes back: $5,000–$15,000 for a hardware controller alone. Then you need a specialist to configure it. Every time you change the layout — add a screen, reposition a zone, swap from landscape to portrait — you're calling someone and paying for their time.

The hardware controller sits in a rack somewhere. If it fails, your wall goes dark until a technician arrives. If you want a second wall at another location, you buy another controller. And another specialist visit.

The real cost isn't the hardware. It's the dependency. You can't change your own video wall without calling someone.

The Shift

What if the hardware controller was software?

SPARC replaces the dedicated hardware controller entirely. Video wall processing happens in software — each screen connects to a standard media player, and SPARC coordinates them. No rack-mounted box. No single point of failure. No specialist on speed dial.

Design your wall layout in a browser. Drag screens into any arrangement — L-shapes, staggered clusters, mixed sizes. Preview how content will look across the wall before you deploy. Go live with one click. Change it tomorrow without calling anyone.

Four Modes

Four ways to use your wall — switch anytime.

Every video wall is different. SPARC gives you four display modes so you can match the wall to the moment — and change it without a technician.

Mirror

Same content on every screen simultaneously — perfect for retail windows and lobby displays where every viewer needs to see the same message.

Span

One piece of content stretched across the entire wall. Each screen renders its portion of the bigger picture — no hardware controller required.

Stretch

Content scaled to fill each screen independently — ideal for signage that needs maximum visual impact on every display.

Zones

Different content on every screen or zone. Show a product video on the left, a live feed in the centre, and a promotion on the right — all managed from one interface.

How It Works

Design any layout. Deploy from your browser.

SPARC's freeform canvas layout builder gives your team full control over video wall design — no AV expertise required.

Freeform Canvas Builder

Drag screens anywhere on the canvas. Not limited to rectangular grids — create L-shapes, staggered clusters, and artistic arrangements that match your physical space.

Bezel Compensation

Set horizontal and vertical gap values per screen. Content renders seamlessly across bezels so images and video look continuous across the entire wall.

Snap-to-Edge Alignment

Screens auto-snap within 2% of each other for precise alignment. No pixel-counting. No guesswork. Professional results every time.

Mixed Resolution Support

Combine 4K and 1080p screens in the same wall. Mix portrait and landscape orientations. SPARC handles the maths so every screen shows its correct portion.

Preview Before You Deploy

See exactly how content will appear across your wall — including span positioning, bezel gaps, and zone assignments — before pushing anything live.

Frame-Accurate Sync

Every screen plays in perfect lockstep using server-issued timestamps. No external sync hardware needed. No drift. No tearing.

Wall Blueprints

Start with a blueprint. Customise from there.

Don't want to design from scratch? Pick a pre-built wall blueprint and adjust it to fit your space. Or use quick presets for standard grid configurations.

2×2

Showroom Display

Four screens forming a seamless canvas for immersive product showcases.

3×1

Ticker Strip

Three horizontal screens for scrolling news, stock prices, or event information.

4×1

Menu Strip

Four-screen horizontal run for restaurant or QSR menu boards.

3×3

Feature Wall

Nine-screen statement wall for lobbies, showrooms, and event spaces.

1×3

Portrait Stack

Three vertical screens stacked for wayfinding, directories, or artistic installations.

Quick Presets

1×2, 2×2, 2×3, 3×3, 1×4 — one-click grid layouts for standard configurations.

The Real Savings

What you stop paying for.

No hardware controller

Eliminate the $5,000–$15,000 dedicated video wall processor. SPARC runs on standard media players your screens already connect to.

No integrator visits

Your team changes layouts, adds screens, and deploys new content from a browser. No specialist. No site visit. No waiting.

No single point of failure

There's no rack-mounted box to fail. If one player has an issue, the rest of the wall keeps running. Replace the player and it rejoins automatically.

FAQ

Common questions about software video walls.

Do I need a hardware video wall controller?

No. SPARC handles video wall processing entirely in software. There's no dedicated hardware controller to buy, configure, or maintain. Each screen connects to a standard media player running the SPARC Player app.

Can I mix different screen sizes and resolutions in one wall?

Yes. SPARC supports mixed resolutions — you can combine 4K and 1080p screens, portrait and landscape orientations, and even different physical sizes in the same video wall layout.

How does SPARC keep screens in sync across a video wall?

SPARC uses server-issued timestamps for frame-accurate synchronisation. Every screen knows exactly which frame to display at any given moment, eliminating drift and tearing — without external sync hardware.

Can I build non-rectangular layouts like L-shapes or staggered arrangements?

Absolutely. The freeform canvas layout builder lets you position screens anywhere — L-shapes, staggered clusters, artistic arrangements, and any configuration your space requires. Screens snap to edges automatically for precise alignment.

Can I preview content on the video wall before deploying it?

Yes. SPARC lets you preview exactly how content will appear across your wall layout — including span positioning, bezel gaps, and zone assignments — before pushing it live to any screens.

How does bezel compensation work?

You set horizontal and vertical gap values in pixels for each screen. SPARC adjusts the content rendering so images and video appear seamless across the wall, compensating for the physical bezels between screens.
