Backdrop Indoor Video Wall Display Screen at Chase Up, Karachi

About the Project

Chase Up is one of Karachi’s established retail store chains, operating a department-store format across multiple branches in the city. As the retailer’s in-store digital signage network grew, a specific need emerged that none of the earlier installations addressed: a consistent, brandable backdrop for the moments that happen in front of a camera or an audience — a staff announcement, a vendor meeting, a promotional activation, a seasonal event, or simply a well-branded service desk.

A standard wall signage screen or a large feature video wall is not built for this job. What was needed was a low, wide Indoor Video Wall Display Screen, shaped more like a stage backdrop than a conventional display, positioned where people naturally stand or gather, with content that could switch between campaigns in moments.

Why a Backdrop-Format Indoor Video Wall Display Screen Makes Sense

Built for the Shape of a Backdrop, Not a Standard Screen

Most video walls are sized for viewing from a distance across a room. A backdrop serves a different purpose: it frames whoever or whatever is standing in front of it. The 4×15 ft format is wide enough to fill a camera frame behind a group of people, yet low enough to avoid dominating a space the way a tall feature wall would.

One Screen, Unlimited Campaigns

A printed backdrop is fixed the day it is produced, and swapping it for a new campaign, a new partnership, or a seasonal theme means another print run and another installation. An Indoor Video Wall Display Screen removes that cycle entirely — Chase Up’s marketing team can switch the backdrop’s content centrally, in minutes, whether that means a festive theme for Eid, a partner brand’s colours for a joint activation, or a simple store-branded look for daily use.

Consistent Branding for Every Camera Moment

Whether it is a staff recognition photo, a vendor visit, a press moment, or content for the store’s own social media, a digital backdrop ensures the branding behind every photo is sharp, current, and on-message, rather than relying on whatever printed material happens to be available that week.

Completing a Four-Layer Digital Signage Strategy

With this installation, Chase Up now runs a genuinely complete digital signage ecosystem: checkout-level screens for transactional content, department-level signage for wayfinding, a flagship video wall for brand storytelling, and this backdrop screen for events and staged moments. Each format was specified for a distinct purpose, and together they represent one of the more thorough in-store digital signage rollouts among Pakistani retail chains.

How the Installation Was Approached

Site Assessment and Format Planning

Our team assessed the service desk and activation area at Chase Up to confirm the 4×15 ft format would sit correctly behind the space it needed to frame, without overwhelming the area or appearing disconnected from it.

Mounting for a Wide, Low-Profile Format

A backdrop-shaped screen presents a different structural challenge than a tall feature wall — the mounting needed to support a wide, horizontally distributed panel load evenly across its full width, keeping the display perfectly level for a clean, professional backdrop appearance in every photo and video taken in front of it.

Content System Setup

Smart One Technologies configured the content management system so Chase Up’s team can switch backdrop themes centrally, scheduling seasonal or campaign-specific looks without needing a technician for routine changes.

Testing and Handover

The installation was tested for consistent brightness and color across the screen’s full width, followed by a handover session covering day-to-day content updates.

How This Fits Alongside Chase Up’s Other Screens

The counter rack Indoor Display Screens handle checkout-level messaging, the Indoor Digital Wall Signage Screen handles department navigation, and the large Indoor SMD Video Wall delivers broad brand impact near the entrance. This backdrop screen fills the one gap none of those formats were built for: a consistent, camera-ready branded surface for events and staged moments. None of the four installations duplicates another, and together they show what a fully considered, multi-touchpoint retail digital signage strategy looks like in practice.

Common Mistakes in Backdrop-Style Video Wall Projects

• Using a standard screen shape instead of a backdrop-appropriate format: a tall, narrow panel rarely frames a group of people or a staged area as cleanly as a wide, low format does.
• Treating it as a one-off event screen rather than daily branding: the real value comes from using it as a consistent backdrop for everyday service desk branding, not just occasional events.
• Ignoring even mounting across a wide panel: an uneven level across a 15 ft width is far more visible in photos than on a smaller screen.
• No content update workflow: a backdrop that never changes loses the main advantage a digital format has over a printed one.
