The University of California - Irvine has a setup much bigger than this called Hiperwall. It might be worth it to reach out to them. Hoping I can pick the brains of the group… A marketing agency has approached us with a concept for a display of 4K TVs. Stripping away the creative it's basically a video wall made up of 4K TVs. The problem is that they want each TV to be displaying a full 4K stream, so the pixels add up very quickly. 4K is 3840 x 2160. If this hypothetical video wall was 5 TVs across by 4 TVs down, the overall canvas would be 19,200 x 8640. I think the actual design was for even more, I think it was 8 across (30,720 pixels). I really don't think it's feasible to work at such a high resolution in any software package. I've had one After Effects project that was about 10K x 1080, and probably the biggest I've done was about 7K x 3K, and I really wouldn't want to go much bigger in After Effects. However I don't think any compositing package - or even software package - would be much fun working with projects in then 10's of thousands of pixels. Apart from the playback issues (don't know how they plan on playing back to 20 - 30 4K TVs, perhaps Watchout can do it?) I'm not sure how to approach the project without doing it at a lower res and scaling up. And that's what we would normally do - and often do when the delivery resolution gets too high - but the whole point of this marketing exercise is to have each TV playing back a full res 4K stream… So I am wondering what are the largest resolutions that people here work with successfully? If we had access to a few gigapixel photographs would it be possible to do a simple slideshow type thing at 20 or 30K? -Chris +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
