Proposal
A 
Video wall (also called an LED Wall) is a large digital screen, typically constructed out of smaller LED panels. Digital screens are used to show video, film, TV, camera feeds, advertising content, or other digital content. They are especially common at large events, and at events venues like stadiums and outdoor cinemas.
This proposal suggests a new tag, man_made=video_wall, which may be used for any kind of digital screen (not just advertising). The type of video shown on the screen does not affect whether you can map it or not.
Rationale
There is already a tag for screens used for advertising purposes: advertising=screen, but not for screens used for other purposes.
Tagging
Draw a Way, and tag it as man_made=video_wall.
Notes:
- You may combine man_made=video_wall with barrier=wall only if the LED wall sits on the ground and therefore acts as a barrier. See the examples section below
- You may combine man_made=video_wall with advertising=screen if its sole purpose is to show advertising material.
- For double sided screens, you can add sides=2. By default, sides=1 is implied. Based on feedback, there is no way to indicate which side is the front.
Other useful tags to use in combination are support=*, operator=*, height=*, min_height=* (see examples below)
Examples
An LED wall supported by two poles. Use man_made=video_wall + support=pole
- Led wall on building.jpg
An LED wall on the side of a building. Use man_made=video_wall + support=wall_mounted
![An LED wall sitting on ground[note 1]. Use man_made=video_wall + support=ground + barrier=wall](/wiki/File:Led_wall_on_ground.jpg)
![An LED wall on top of a fold-out container.[note 2] Use man_made=video_wall + support=roof, also map the container as building=container](/wiki/File:Led_wall_on_container.jpg)
- ↑ Technically the screen is hanging off the truss, but is nevertheless sitting at ground level
- ↑ Keep in mind Good Practice: do not map LED walls set up temporarily for an event
Special Cases
A screen used purely for advertising. Use man_made=video_wall + advertising=screen (+ support=wall_mounted)
A screen used as an outdoor cinema. Map the screen with man_made=video_wall. Also map the whole cinema using a
Node or 
Area tagged with amenity=cinema
Height
Use the tags height=* and min_height=* to map the height of the screen. See the page min_height=* for a good explanation of how to use tags
The screen is 4 metres high, the pole is 3 metres high. Thus, height=7 and min_height=3
Rendering
none proposed.
Features/Pages affected
- Map Features
- Tag:advertising=screen to note that it should be combined with man_made=video_wall
- Tag:amenity=cinema, Key:drive_in, Key:open_air to explain that screens at outdoor cinemas and drive-in cinemas may be mapped using this new tag
External discussions
See Also
- screen=* - unofficially used on venues (like amenity=cinema) to state how many screens are located inside.
