This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

The BrightWall™ feature allows you to easily create, publish, and edit video-wall deployments. Video walls are created by synchronizing the playback of a number of players using Genlock. Each player is connected to a different screen on the wall, and the players are linked over a local network connection. Simple looping video playlists are the only presentation type supported by BrightWall. Images and interactive playlists are not supported: Use [this page](docId\:STOuPgRPoR4d3PdB1rHpE) to compare the capabilities of different synchronization options.

The process of publishing BrightWall presentations differs from publishing standard presentations. See the [Publishing a BrightWall Presentation](docId\:KpimAeCh9k5J4-08N8_a6) page for more information.

:::hint{type="warning"}
BrightWall™ requires BrightAuthor Classic versions 4.1.1.14 or later and is not currently supported in BrightAuthor\:connected / BSN.Cloud.

# BrightWall Requirements

- **Video Files**: We recommend using the *.mp4* or *.mov* container for video files that make up a BrightWall presentation. Transport Stream (*.ts*) files are also supported, but they must begin with a presentation timestamp (PTS) offset of zero. Program Stream (MPEG-PS) files *are not* supported.

:::hint{type="info"}
It is possible to create a seamlessly looping video wall if the video files are formatted appropriately. See [this How-to](docId\:ez4Alm6KyBFcOAobifHIR) for more details.
:::

- **Networking**: All players must be connected to the same network via Ethernet cable. We recommend using a dedicated switch or VLAN for BrightWall(s).
- **Multicast**: Multicast must be enabled on the network (BrightWall uses the PTPv2 network protocol). BrightWall uses the following multicast address: 224.0.126.10:1539. 
- **Domain**: When multiple BrightWalls are operating on the same network, each concurrent presentation must have a different domain number, which is set when [creating the configuration file](docId\:Dlv0d5ERj0fx6HzemFFj8).
