Quiz to pick the right media server for video mapping

Decision-support quiz to identify the media server that fits a mapping or immersive installation project. In 9 to 12 questions covering output count, timeline versus playlist usage, interactivity, real-time 3D and show control needs, the tool crosses your constraints with the strengths of each server family (playback player versus real-time scenography engine) and recommends a concrete architecture. Built for TDs starting a project who want to avoid three days of vendor demos before scoping the brief.

Real-world use cases

  • Pre-project scoping: challenge a client who assumes they need a high-end server for a simple 6-output façade mapping.
  • Tender response: justify the technical choice of a server family in the brief, backed by the discriminating criteria surfaced by the quiz.
  • Team onboarding: have junior operators run the quiz to learn the criteria that separate a playlist logic from a timeline logic.
  • Commercial pre-qualification: send the result PDF to a client ahead of the design phase to align expectations on the architecture.
  • Existing install audit: run the quiz again on a deployed project to confirm the current server is still the best fit at renewal time.

Frequently asked questions

Does the quiz favor a specific brand?
No. Recommendations are organized by server family (playback player versus real-time scenography engine), not by brand. Brand names are used only to illustrate each architecture.
How many questions and how long?
Between 9 and 12 questions depending on your answers (some are conditional). Plan 3 to 5 minutes for a useful scoping.
Can I export the result as a PDF?
Yes. The result exports to PDF with the recommendation, the reasoning, the suggested architecture and the key features. Handy to attach to a technical brief or an internal report.
Does the quiz replace a technical audit?
No. It's a quick scoping tool. For a high-stakes decision (large budget, permanent install, complex show control), an audit with an expert is still required.
What if the quiz recommends both families?
That happens when needs are mixed. The result then surfaces the criteria that would tip the decision and proposes a hybrid architecture. A consulting session helps make the call.
