How to display your city's weather on a video wall?

Displaying your city’s real-time weather on a video wall takes about 5 minutes with Easy Multi Display. Simply add the weather page as a website-type source, then adjust the framing to keep only the essentials on screen. Here is the complete method, with ready-to-use settings for the main weather sources.

Step 1: add the weather page as a web source

Search for your city’s weather on Google by typing “Weather + (your city)”. Copy the link of the resulting page, then paste it into the “website” field in Easy Multi Display. The weather page then appears in a zone of your video wall.

Step 2: frame the weather display

A full web page often contains menus, banners and useless advertising for a command wall. The goal is to zoom in and shift the page to display only the weather block.

The settings depend on your screen resolution. As an example, a correct framing was obtained with a zoom of 5, an X pixel position of -300 and a Y pixel position of -190. Adjust these values gradually until you get a clean result.

Ready-to-use settings by weather source

To save you time, here are reference values tested for several sources, in 1-zone display (full frame) and 4-zone display (split wall). Use these settings in the web source parameters, then fine-tune according to your resolution.

Tips for a successful display

These values are starting points: every screen resolution is different, so it is normal to have to slightly retouch the zoom and pixel positions. Change one value at a time to see precisely its effect on the framing. Once the result is satisfactory, save the source in your scenario to find it instantly during your next situations.
