There was another thread with the same video. It is apparently fake, not to mention, why would these video screens be wireless? I would think thats a lot of wireless in one location to not only be interfering with other wifi devices, but also impractical for the distance/interference, etc.If they were, anyone could potentially jack into them.

I think they are more than likely hard wired to a network somewhere that plays back/loops the video for them. We had large 50 inch screens throughout our building at my old job that played different videos from a windows desktop machine which was quietly hidden away behind the wall. I know this because at some point during the night, the videos would always stop and you would end up with the desktop icons on the TV monitors and I could restart the video by clicking the playlist from the desktop. I imagine that they have something similar in place for these in Time Square, just a bunch of videos sitting on the network somewhere hooked to a windows machine or such.

They bough add time on the video monitors and play them at the time they filled the clip.

It was for the movie limitless to promote it.
