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.
