What you need
An EZ Video Wall account, one prepared MP4 file, and at least one screen receiver such as Chromecast, Google TV, Fire TV, or a browser display.
EZ Video Wall
Tutorial
Set up and run your first EZ Video Wall.
Use this walkthrough to create a workspace, upload media, pair screens, route sources on the canvas, and launch synchronized playback from one controller.
Best first test
Start with one short video and one screen. After that works, add the rest of the screens and any playlist or event setup.
Operator goal
Every screen should show as paired, routed, and ready before the room operator starts playback.
Quick setup checklist
- Create or log into your account.
- Create a workspace for the wall.
- Upload your MP4 files.
- Pair each screen or saved device.
- Route media nodes to output nodes.
- Preview the output before the audience sees it.
- Use playlists for repeated loops.
- Watch device health during the run.
Step-by-step tutorial
1
Start a free trial or log in
Open EZ Video Wall, choose Start Free Trial, and create your account. If you already have an account, choose Log In and open the dashboard.
2
Create a workspace
From the dashboard, click Create Workspace. Name it after the venue, event, booth, store, or room so operators can recognize it later.
3
Upload media
Open the workspace and use Upload Media. MP4 video is the best first format for synchronized walls. Keep filenames clear, such as booth-loop-30sec.mp4 or lobby-main.mp4.
4
Pair screens and devices
Use Pair Device for saved equipment or open the receiver on the target display and enter the pairing code shown on that screen. For Fire TV or browser screens, use the on-screen code and confirm the screen name matches the physical display.
5
Route media to outputs
On the node canvas, drag from the media node output into the screen output. Use blue routes for visual media and red routes for audio where the source supports it. Confirm the output card shows the paired screen you expect.
6
Preview before going live
Use the monitor or preview tools to check what each output will play. If the wrong screen is connected, disconnect and re-pair before the event starts.
7
Start synchronized playback
Once every output is paired and routed, press play from the controller. Keep the controller open during the run so you can see receiver state, reconnects, and playback status.
8
Use playlists for loops
Choose New Playlist when you want a loop with multiple clips. You can add the same media more than once, which is useful for repeating a logo animation between longer videos.
Event wall workflow
For trade shows or temporary displays, build the workspace before the event day, test with one screen, then pair the full wall during setup. Keep one short fallback video uploaded in case a long clip has a format or bandwidth issue.
Rule of thumb: If the wall will run for more than seven days, use a monthly plan instead of the self-service event pass. If SBAIGuys is operating the wall for the customer, use managed event pricing.
Troubleshooting
A
A screen will not pair
Refresh the receiver page, confirm the pairing code, and make sure the display is on the same network path or using the supported browser/Fire TV receiver flow.
B
Playback looks delayed or unstable
Use shorter MP4 files for the first test, keep bitrate reasonable, avoid weak Wi-Fi, and check device health for reconnects or stale receivers.
C
The wrong video is on a screen
Check the node route feeding that output. Remove the route and connect the intended media node to the intended output.
Trial behavior: Free trial playback includes the visible watermark and 10-minute playback cap. Paid plans remove those trial limits when billing opens.
