Each presentation mode exposes a small set of mode-specific options under Wall settings → Layout. This article catalogs them, with recommended defaults by screen size.
Mosaic options
Cell count
How many photos are visible at once. Higher = more density.
- 12 — large cells, suits 1080p screens under 55”.
- 24 (default) — balanced, works on most venue TVs.
- 40 — dense, suits 1080p screens over 65” or any 4K screen.
- 60 — very dense, recommended only for 4K screens over 75”.
Refresh rate
How often new photos rotate into the grid.
- Slow (every 30 seconds) — calmer, suits dinners.
- Medium (every 15 seconds, default) — most events.
- Fast (every 5 seconds) — high-energy events with rapid uploads.
Animation style
How new photos enter the grid.
- Pop (default) — quick scale-up. Energetic.
- Fade — soft cross-fade. Subdued.
- Slide — slides in from edges. Architectural.
Slideshow options
Interval
Seconds per photo. The single most important dial.
- 5 seconds — fast pace, suits high-throughput events.
- 8 seconds (default) — reads well, gives uploader names time to absorb.
- 15 seconds — contemplative, suits weddings and memorials.
- 30 seconds — almost ambient.
Show uploader name
Whether to display the uploader’s first name beneath each photo.
- On (default for Wedding template) — adds warmth, helps guests notice their own.
- Off (default for Gala template) — cleaner, more editorial.
Show photo count
Whether to display “Photo 47 of 312” in the corner.
- Off (default) — recommended for most events.
- On — useful for conferences and corporate where the count itself is a talking point.
Ambient options
Pan duration
Seconds per Ken Burns cycle.
- 30 seconds — noticeably moving.
- 60 seconds (default) — barely perceptible, restful.
- 120 seconds — almost still.
Density
How tightly packed the underlying mosaic is.
- Sparse — feels airy. Default for cocktail receptions.
- Medium (default) — most events.
- Dense — suits 4K backdrops.
Magazine options
Hero rotation
Seconds before the hero photo changes.
- 30 seconds — energetic.
- 45 seconds (default) — balanced.
- 60 seconds — gives each hero a real moment.
Tile count
Number of supporting tiles around the hero.
- 4 — minimalist, hero-forward.
- 6 (default) — balanced.
- 8 — dense, only on 4K.
Sponsor strip
Whether the bottom strip of sponsors is visible.
- On (default for Corporate, Conference templates).
- Off — frees vertical space for taller hero photos.
Recommended defaults by screen size
If you don’t want to think about it:
- 55” 1080p venue TV → Slideshow at 8s, or Mosaic at 12 cells.
- 65” 1080p venue TV → Slideshow at 8s, or Mosaic at 24 cells.
- 75”+ 4K venue TV → Mosaic at 40 cells, or Magazine with 6 tiles.
- Conference room projector (1080p) → Ambient at 60s pan.
- LED video wall (4K+) → Mosaic at 60 cells, fast refresh.
- Tablet on a stand (10–12”) → Slideshow at 5s. Don’t use mosaic at this size.
Tuning during the event
You can change any mode option live without interrupting the wall. New cells/transitions take effect on the next cycle (within ~5 seconds for most settings). Photos already on screen aren’t disturbed.
If you’re tuning during the event, the Pause wall control is your friend — pause, change a setting, eyeball, resume.
What to do next
- Use 4K displays and projectors for the hardware side of these settings.
- Pause and resume the wall to safely test tuning.
- Choose the right presentation mode if you’re rethinking the mode itself.
