In short
A turnkey video wall project combines the display surface, controller, software and installation work. A useful proposal explains how those parts support the operator's daily tasks and how the customer will accept the finished system.
Start with the room and the work it supports. Record who watches the wall, who changes it and which information must remain visible during routine monitoring, a shift handover and an incident.
Define the scope before comparing quotes
Separate the display surface, mounting, signal connections, controller server, software, commissioning and handover in the bill of materials. Ask each supplier to mark what is included, what is optional and what the customer must provide.
The same display count can describe very different projects. A wall used for detailed dashboards needs different source preparation from a wall showing camera feeds. Compare proposals against an agreed workload rather than the number of panels alone.
Record the boundary between the integrator and the customer's IT team. Identify who prepares accounts, network connections, source permissions, power and access to the room. Assign an owner to each dependency before setting an installation date.
Choose LCD or LED around the viewing task
Assess the viewing positions, available wall area and content. Include small dashboard labels, maps, video and presentation slides in the review. Check the actual source image at the proposed scale from the operator's seat.
For LCD, inspect how panel boundaries cross important text or controls. For LED, inspect the proposed pixel pitch against viewing distance and content detail. Ask to see representative material on the proposed display configuration before accepting the design.
Include physical maintenance in the layout discussion. Identify how technicians will reach display modules, connections and the controller. The mounting arrangement should support the agreed service process as well as the desired appearance of the room.
Specify the controller against real sources
Make a source register with format, connection method, resolution, frame rate and access owner. Distinguish sources that appear simultaneously from those opened only during an incident. Record capture hardware separately from network-delivered sources.
Craft Wall turns a standard Linux server with an NVIDIA GPU into a video wall controller. It combines cameras, dashboards, remote desktops, conferences and other supported sources, with browser operation from a laptop or tablet.
The perpetual licence is priced per server. There are no licence caps on displays, sources, operators or canvases; practical capacity depends on GPU resources, video outputs and workload. Use the pricing page for the current published software and server offers.
Prepare an acceptance plan that operators can repeat
Write an expected result for each important task: open a source, apply a scene, change a layout, sign in with the intended permissions and return to a routine view. Use representative customer sources during testing.
Agree how the team will recognise a missing source or an expired source session. Check the source system and network alongside the wall. Record the observed result rather than assuming every interruption has the same cause.
Define recovery checks, permitted maintenance periods and a rollback plan with the implementation team. A demonstration helps identify questions; acceptance on the agreed project configuration establishes whether the delivered system meets the customer's requirements.
Schedule commissioning and handover
Base the schedule on confirmed equipment, site readiness and access arrangements. Ask the integrator to list dependencies and acceptance milestones. A generic delivery promise cannot establish when a particular room will be ready for use.
Prepare operator instructions using the scenes and sources created for that room. Include routine changes, incident handling, escalation contacts and the process for requesting a new source. Keep configuration records available to the responsible team.
Keep support and ownership visible in the offer
Review the software licence, update period, hardware warranty and support scope as separate lines. Identify who handles a display problem, a source-access problem and a controller problem, and how those teams coordinate when the cause is unclear.
Before requesting a quote, assemble the source register, display arrangement, room constraints and acceptance checklist. Share the project country and the proposed division of work. The team can then discuss a configuration and identify the remaining questions.
