I have a video that I've created to span 3 1080p monitors. It seems that the Brightwall Stretch feature is designed to allow me to load the single 1080x5760 video file into a Brightwall project in Brighauthor and have the software "slice" the video into 3 videos, one for each player. However when I attempt to drag this video into the playlist for the BrightWall I get an error that "The resolution of the video is not supported". Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the stretch functionality? if not, what are the supported resolutions of the stretch feature?

Brandon Stretched BrightWall is intended to take a single video and display it across the all screens of the wall.
However, BrightAuthor does not split and recompress the video as it's not a video editing/compression tool. Instead, each of the players has a copy of the video and decodes it, panning to the proper offset.
Thus, you can only use video resolutions that the player can decode. Since 1080x5760 (is that three screens wide in portrait orientation?) is not a supported resolution, it's rejecting the video
Also note that BrightWall does not support portrait orientation displays or video.

Brad Tripp Hi Brandon, in response to your comment from 2015, is this still the case today where Brightwall does not support portrait video? I tried it in Brightauthor and it seems to accepts a portrait screen orientation.
Also can you clarify something for me about resolutions? If I have a 2x2 brightwall that uses XD1033s and HD screens, and I use a 4k video as my source, I believe the resolution on each screen will be HD. But if I increase the brightwall to 4x4 HD screens the resolution will be reduced to .5 HD on each screen using the same 4k video. Could I then use an 8k video and get full HD back on each screen?
Does BA allow 8k resolutions to be imported?
Thanks
Brad Tripp
