Towering video wall.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturer Planar Systems recently collaborated with media player vendor BrightSign to create its tallest Mosaic architectural video wall to date. The four-storey installation graces the reception area of a new hotel in Surfside, Fla.
The structure was installed by CMA, a local company that surveyed suppliers across the digital signage industry before deciding upon Planar’s Mosaic displays and BrightSign’s media players. Twenty 1.4-m (55-in.) displays were placed at 90-degree angles to one another, creating a herringbone pattern. With the hotel’s glass walls, the video wall is visible not just within the lobby, but also from the street.
“It perfectly complements the look of the hotel,” says Cesar Cifuentes, founder and president of CMA.
“CMA’s installation is destined to be an iconic, instantly recognizable fixture in the architectural landscape,” says Jennifer Davis, vice-president (VP) of marketing for Planar
