LED rental planning guide
Video and interactive LED floor rental options
Ask GLMedia about LED floors for events, activations, and exhibits. We review imagery, interactivity, the supporting surface, and intended use.
What we can help plan
Share the event date, location, and intended use so we can review options, availability, and configuration. You can contact us before dimensions, drawings, or final content are ready.
A video LED floor can bring graphics and animation into the scene. An interactive floor adds detection and content that responds to visitors; a decorative lighting dance floor is a different category and does not necessarily display video.
ROE Visual’s Black Marble Interactive reference documents sensor-equipped panels, dedicated control, and a media server. This architecture explains the system without implying that every Black Marble variant or LED floor is interactive.
Choosing the system
- Video
- We define the pixel matrix, orientation, and image path for the complete area; content must also work when viewed in perspective.
- Interactivity
- We separate video from sensor data and the content that generates the response. Control, software, and programming are part of the configuration.
- Surface and access
- We review the subfloor, finished height, edges, access, and surface finish against the intended use. A matte or glass finish alone does not establish slip resistance.
What you can share
Tell us whether the floor will involve walking, dancing, heels, furniture, or wheeled items. A floor photo and approximate sketch help us start reviewing the proposal.
For an interactive experience, describe the visitor action and the desired response. We can start from an idea before the final design.
Moving the proposal forward
- Define the area, duration, and activities on the floor.
- Identify the panel, finish, support, and exact documentation to review loads and operating conditions.
- Prepare a visual sample for the intended viewing angle and lighting.
- For interactivity, test sensors, content, and response with a representative scene.
- Coordinate access, edges, cleaning, protection, and service for the proposed system.
Technical questions and show decisions
Does every LED floor respond to footsteps?
Video playback does not imply detection. Interactivity requires a compatible variant and system, together with content and response programming.
Can it support furniture or wheeled items?
We review the intended activity, contact points, and routes using the exact system documentation. A distributed load rating does not establish the effect of legs, wheels, or movement.
Can a conventional LED wall be used as a floor?
The proposal needs a system designed and documented for that use, including its surface and support. Placing glass over wall cabinets does not establish suitability for foot traffic.
Should a product launch use a video floor or an interactive floor?
For a scene following a planned visual sequence, compare a video floor with content prepared for its area and viewing angles. If a visitor action should trigger a response, define that action, the expected effect, and experience duration, then assess a documented interactive variant with its control and application.
The quote can separate equipment, existing content or custom development, applicable software and licenses, testing, installation, and operation. A sample helps review the visual result and, for interaction, the match between action and response before producing the full experience. If planned traffic or supports call for another solution, compare another display surface and review the activation design against venue conditions.
Useful checks
| What you notice | What to check | What it helps determine |
|---|---|---|
| Video works without interaction | Sensor variant, data, and interactive content. | Separate playback from detection. |
| Response appears in the wrong place | Physical map, calibration, and content coordinates. | Review alignment with the active area. |
| Use or contact point differs from plan | Documentation and actual activity. | Reassess the configuration before use. |
Installation and operating conditions
Loads, supports, ramps, and joints are reviewed against documentation for the exact assembly and venue conditions. We do not publish universal capacities or installation procedures borrowed from other models.
Moisture, cleaning, wear, and footwear can affect surface use. We coordinate operation and maintenance conditions before opening the area.
Define the experience before selecting content
An activation may respond with waves, particles, or a game. We first define the detected action, visual response, and experience duration, then review existing content or custom development.
BrightLogic’s documented ActiveFloor architecture includes server-based application management. Selecting an experience also requires confirming versions, licenses, and operation; the panel alone does not define that deliverable.
Calibration and active-area testing
BrightLogic documents sensor calibration and exclusion in its system. We can use that reference to define active-area testing; disabling a zone does not authorize placing loads on it.
The test should compare where people step with where the response appears, using final content. Multiple participants and the planned routes should also be tested before opening the experience.
Separate image, detection, and application issues
If video works without a response, we record image output, detection data, and application behavior separately. This helps review the affected part before changing settings.
Without interaction, we can focus the proposal on a video surface. For a game or activation, we also define preparation, operation, and idle content for the configuration.
