FIRST START UP The 20ft Hooters Racing Video Wall Is FINISHED

The Hooters Racing video wall is done! The MegaTV is a 20ft diagonal video wall made out of 9 Samsung 75" TVs. This ended up being a huge project with a huge pay off, one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It uses so much power it can trip the breaker on a single circuit, coming in just a tad over 2000 watts. When you're watching or playing racing on it the cars are literally lifesize. There's really no way to describe it other than really, really big.

John Ross- you need to grab the master hdmi signal and split it over to the Motul loft area where you need to have 2 more big screens on the wall. That way people on the loft can see what’s going on too. (When it gets done!)

A continuous load is defined as a load that is expected to be run 3 hours or more. Your video screen is a continuous load. Circuits for continuous loads must be derated by 20%, so your 20 amp circuit is only good for 16 amps. At 120 volts (nominal), your 16 amp circuit is capable of 1,920 watts max. No surprise that it blew the breaker. An amazing project none the less. Congrats on all your hard work!

Best way to do phase 2 on this build: Remove the plastic borders on all the tvs, so that way they butt up screen-to-screen. It removes the "window" effect that using multiple screens usually gives off. Once all your tvs are screen-to-screen, you simply cut and bend a nice metal frame to go around all the tvs. I used to do the "4 TV" builds for Buffalo wild wings lol. Your build looks fantastic. Just keep in mind everyone is going to point out that the borders are annoying. And there is a way to fix it. Good luck Jr!
