Methods and systems of large scale video display

Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention, improved capabilities are described for displaying and managing dynamic, multi-media, video content presentation on an architectural scale. Methods and systems described include associating a video display with an advertising marketplace and leasing rights to a video display. A plurality of physical panel, rod, curtain, blade, and fin video display arrays are described, as are methods and systems for managing and editing video for display and powering a video display that is associated with an architectural feature.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for managing a display of a high definition video content on a multi-panel video display panel mounted on a building and for managing the corresponding electrical power needs of the display panel, the method comprising:
 associating a video display panel with power sourcing equipment;   monitoring a power consumption of the video display panel using the power sourcing equipment; and   adjusting a power supply of the power sourcing equipment to the video display panel if the monitored power consumption crosses a consumption threshold.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the power sourcing equipment is an endspan power sourcing equipment. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the power sourcing equipment is a midspan power sourcing equipment. 
     
     
         4 . A method for managing the display of a high definition video content on a multi-panel video display mounted on a building and for managing the corresponding electrical power needs of the display, the computer program product comprising:
 providing a video display panel, wherein the video display panel is a powered device of an Ethernet system;   associating the video display panel with a power sourcing equipment of an Ethernet system;   using the power sourcing equipment to monitor a power consumption of the video display panel; and   adjusting a power supply from the power sourcing equipment to the video display panel if the monitored power consumption crosses a consumption threshold.   
     
     
         5 . A computer program product for managing the display and associated power needs of a high definition video content associated with a sound system of a plurality of sound systems, the computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied in the medium executable by a processing unit, the computer-readable program code comprising:
 computer-readable program code having instructions to collect a plurality of video streams;   computer-readable program code having instructions to map each of the plurality of the video streams to a corresponding video panel display of a multi-panel video display;   computer-readable program code having instructions to coordinate each video panel display of the multi-panel video display to display a coordinated video content;   computer-readable program code having instructions to associate the coordinated video content with a corresponding sound system of the plurality of sound systems, wherein the sound system is associated based on location of the multi-panel video display;   using power sourcing equipment to monitor the power consumption of the multi-panel video display; and   adjusting a power supply from the power sourcing equipment to the multi-panel video display panel upon the power consumption crossing a consumption threshold.
