Setting Up a VJ’s Booth with an LED Screen

In the realms of entertainment, marketing, and communication, LED WALLS have become indispensable. Their popularity has surged in recent years, overshadowing other projection or lighting formats due to their exceptional performance, durability, cost-effectiveness, and image sharpness. DJ BOOTHs featuring LED Screens are now integral to the world’s largest festivals, despite the viral short videos on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. Here, we aim to provide you with technical clarity to truly understand the benefits of this technology.

LED Video Wall Tech Features Every VJ Should Know

  • Pixel Pitch and Refresh Rate
    Pixel Pitch is a crucial distance measurement when purchasing an LED video wall. It represents the distance between the center of one pixel and another. A higher Pixel Pitch requires a greater distance for optimal visualization. Another essential measure is the Refresh Rate, measured in Hertz, indicating how quickly a screen updates its image. A higher number ensures better performance.

  • Types of Video Controller Systems
    Two primary systems are asynchronous and synchronous control. Asynchronous control requires pre-editing the image before display, while synchronous control allows real-time reproduction of the computer or monitor’s content.

  • Recommended Installations
    Ground support installation promises a stable and flexible structure for panels, while wall-mounted placement provides cleanliness, maintenance ease, and aesthetic finesse.

  • Indoor & Outdoor LED Displays
    Outdoor screens require higher brightness (measured in Nits) than indoor screens to compete with external lights. Outdoor panels also come with IP65 certification, ensuring resistance to dust and water, protecting them in various weather conditions.

Setting Up Your Booth with LED displays

Once you’ve determined the LED display panles that fits your needs, pay attention to the details for the highest quality service. For Indoor LED Walls, consider the Pixel Pitch (ranging from 1.9mm to 5mm) based on your preferences. Outdoor LED screens commonly come with a Pixel Pitch of 3.9mm, providing professional equipment with a performance of 3840Hz and up to 4K quality.

Choosing the Right Installation Method

  • Once you have selected a device that you like, the installation method follows. As we have already mentioned before, there are different methods to assemble your equipment. These can be: Ground Support, Wall Mounted or Flown Method. It is worth remembering that from our monitoring platform, we provide placement and maintenance services over time. In this way, you will be able to control the operation of your purchases, through the eyes of our professionals. Therefore, the performance of your system can avoid symbolic problems in the long term.

  • Regarding the location of the placement of the panels, this is clearly consistent with the aesthetics that you want to implement. And in this case, it is related to the music and the style of party or festival that it will seek to encompass. To give an example, at Techno festivals or ‘Club’ format parties, the idea of ​​the screen on the ceiling is usually adopted.

  • Something that might be strange for an unplugged or an acoustic. That is why we consider constant contact between all the parties that are part of the process crucial; from our professional, to the producer or musician who is going to perform your show.

  • Finally, once your LED video WALL or your DJ BOOTH has been placed correctly, we will move on to their configuration. This is when the role of the VJ, or the artist or engineer who is going to be in charge of monitoring the image, comes into play. 

  • It is vitally important to use the appropriate software to make the most of the potential of our screens. Many VJs opt for the classic Adobe packages. From that starting point, they can generate images or videos from scratch, so that they can then be displayed on the BOOTH. To be able to transmit your creations, from your computers to the screens, we can recommend the use of NovaStar video control systems and cards. In this way, we will establish a connection between artists, software and hardware, which facilitates their work relationship.

  • Once installed, the VJ or artist plays a vital role in configuring the LED screen or DJ BOOTH. Choosing appropriate software, such as Adobe packages or alternatives like Resolume, Blender, Unreal Engine, or MadMapper, enables the transmission of creations from computers to screens. NovaStar video control systems and cards facilitate the connection between artists, software, and hardware.
