Create Sponsor Videos For Mobile Jumbotron Screen

One extremely successful tactic to help your sponsors connect with your audience is to create a sponsor loop for the jumbotron screen. Dynamic images on the screen can really influence your guests and provide valuable impressions for your sponsors. Continue reading below, or view/download our Sponsor Loop Help Sheet for more information. Here are a few ways to provide us with the files to play the sponsor loop on our big screens:

1. Provide Still Images

• Provide .JPEG files
• We will load into our media player and set it to loop
• The images will play one after the other and then loop over from beginning
• For best results, use a dark color for the background and light color for text
• Large text always works best and is easier to read
• Provide your images as 1920 x 1080 as a general rule if possible
• Please send us your files one week before event (or sooner) so we can test and set up the loop. Last minute files can be provided day-of via USB stick, but there is no guarantee they will play

2. Provide Video Files

• Provide .MP4 files
• We will load into our media player and set up loop if there are multiple files
• Keep background dark and text light if possible for best results
• Provide your videos as 1920 x 1080 if possible. Some scaling/cropping may occur
• For the best visibility, keep text as large as possible
• If you have audio in your videos, please make let us know before the event
• Please send us your files one week before event (or sooner) so we can test and set up the loop. Last minute files can be provided day-of via USB stick, but there is no guarantee they will play
• We can combine images and videos into one continuous loop if you have both

3. Provide a PowerPoint File

• Set up the slideshow in PowerPoint to loop
• Provide a laptop to play the PPT file on with an HDMI port
• Keep background dark and text light if possible
• Set up your show in 16 x 9 format
• If you have audio in your ppt, please let us know before the event
• You can save your PPT slides as .JPEGs and send us the files using method #1 above
• For best results, keep text as large as possible
• If you have video embedded we strongly suggest you send us the files individually using methods #1 and #2 above

4. Provide a DVD

• Make sure you author a DVD that plays on a standard DVD player, NOT just in a computer
• Many times DVDs are used to hold files, called a data DVD, which we don’t want
• We can set the DVD to loop on the DVD player
• Create in a 16 x 9 format
• Please let us know if you have audio before the event

These are the standard methods for playing a sponsor loop on the video board. If you have any questions or unique requests, please let us know and we will work with you to find the best solution for your event.
