FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The ANI-HDROTATE HDMI Video Wall Rotation Processor is capable of scaling and rotating the input source to nearly any angle and size
desired. Its the ideal solution for presenting sources across the unique video display arrangements often found in commercial displays,
control rooms, or classrooms. HDMI Input and output resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz with LPCM audio up to 7.1 channels at 192kHz
are supported. In Rotation Mode the output is locked to 1080p, but video latency is only 1 to 2 frames and the unit is capable of scaling
and rotating the source, with an accuracy of 1°, as required. In Scaler Mode, the unit can scale to a selection of output resolutions, up to
1080p@60Hz as well as apply video mirror, ip and freeze effects to the output.
By combining multiple units with an HDMI splitter or matrix it is possible to create fantastically varied arrangements of rotated displays for
large video wall applications. This is perfect for creating distinct and eye-catching advertising or promotional displays limited only by your
imagination. Conguring these large video walls is made simple by use of our Video Wall PC application, allowing the user to visually lay
out and congure the entire video wall at one time in a graphical WYSIWYG user interface. A number of common video wall arrangement
presets are included with the software by default to make it possible to get started quickly. Basic control of the unit is provided by front panel
controls with an informational OSD. Complete control of the unit is accomplished by use of Telnet, RS-232 or the Video Wall PC software.
This product has a 3 year warranty.

VIDEO WALL CONTROL SOFTWARE
The Video Wall Control software provides complete control over the Video Wall Rotation Processor via Ethernet or RS-232. This software
can scan the local network, as well as any RS-232 connections on the PC, for controllable units to add to the current video wall grouping.
Multiple video wall congurations can be stored in the software for quick local recall, or the congurations can be exported as a le for
use in other video wall deployments.
In addition to video wall design, creation, and positioning, this
software can also be used to congure the scaler mode of the
unit, if needed.
Software Operation
Please obtain the “Video Wall Control” software from our website for download and save it in a directory where you can easily nd it.
Ensure that all the units you wish to control have been powered on and that they are all connected to the same network as your laptop/
PC. Start the software by double clicking on the *.exe le to start the Video Wall Control software.
By default, when the software starts, the layout will be empty. Dummy displays may be added to/removed from the layout using the
“+”/“−” buttons in the “Unit” section if there are no live units available for control and the user wishes to visualize different display
arrangements. To add physical units to the layout, perform a “Search”.
Note: This software is only compatible with Windows 7 or later PCs.
Video Wall Unit Search
By clicking on the “Search” button at the top-right corner of the window, all Video Wall Rotation Processors that are located on the local
network or are directly connected via RS-232 can automatically discovered. Each detected unit can then be added to the current video
wall layout and assigned a unique ID number.
1. SEARCH BUTTON:Click on the “Search” button to open the
Unit Selection Window. All detected units on the local network
as well as all available local serial ports will be listed in the “All
Units” section. After all units have been selected and arranged,
click on the “OK” button to add them to the layout.
Note: Units connected via RS-232 can’t be directly detected,
so all available serial ports will be listed, even if they do not
currently have a connected unit.
■ ALL UNITS LIST: All detected units on the local network
as well as all available local serial ports are listed here. All
detected units are identied by their IP address. If additional
units are added to the network after the window is opened,
click “Refresh” to detect them. Selecting a Unit (or serial port)
and then clicking the right arrow button ( ) will place them in
the Selected Units window in the order they are added. The
Ethernet details of each detected unit may also be changed
by clicking on the associated details icon ( ).

VIDEO WALL CONTROL SOFTWARE
■ SELECTED UNITS: All selected units will appear here with an ID number indicating their order to be added to the layout. If you wish
to re-order the units, type new ID numbers next to each unit and click “Arrange”. To remove an individual unit from the list, click the
“X” next to it’s name. To remove all units, click the “Clear” button.
After all desired displays have been added to the layout, each display must be connected to so that they may be controlled. If some
displays that need to be a part of the layout are not currently available for connection, dummy monitors may be added in their place.
Displays that are no longer a part of the layout may also be disconnected, or removed completely. Each display can be connected or
disconnected individually, or as a group.
2. CONNECT BUTTON: Clicking the “Connect” button will
activate the software’s connection to all discovered units,
allowing control and conguration of those units. To connect to
only a single unit, right click on the unit’s number and select
“Connect”.
3. DISCONNECT BUTTON: If you want to ensure that no
additional settings are sent to the units, click the “Disconnect”
button and all units will be disconnected from the software. To
disconnect a single unit, right click on the unit’s number and
select “Disconnect”.
Note: Disconnected units will still be shown in the layout, but
the “Get”, “Set”, and “Setting” functions will not be available.
4. +/− BUTTONS: To add dummy units (displays with no physical
unit currently connected) to a layout, click the “+” button. To
completely remove both real and dummy units from a layout,
select the unit to remove and then click the “−” button.
Basic Unit Settings & Configuration
The basic conguration and settings for each connected unit can be set by selecting the unit to congure from the “Unit” section and then
clicking on the “Setting” button in the upper-left “Common” section of the window. The operational mode of the unit (Rotate Mode or
Scaler Mode) may be set here, as well as the Ethernet, I/O, and mode- specic image features. To exit the setting conguration tabs and
return to the layout mode, click on the “Layout” button in the upper- left “Common” section of the window.
Note: Some configuration options are not available in both modes.
The “General” tab provides control over the network conguration, and provides a way to initiate a rmware update or perform a factory
reset. This tab provides the same options in both operational modes.
1. SYSTEM SETUP: Displays the current rmware version and
provides options to update the rmware or perform a factory

VIDEO WALL CONTROL SOFTWARE
Pre-Defined Video Wall Layouts
The position, size and angle of the display connected to each unit is set in the Layout window when in Rotation Mode. If you are currently
in the Setting window, clicking on the “Layout” button in the upper- left “Common” section of the window will switch back to the Layout
window and activate Rotation mode.
The outline of the layout window represents the source video (1920x1080 pixels) and each display must be placed within this space,
without exceeding the edges (not including bezel size, if active). Each display contains a number which matches the ID number of the unit
that is connected to it and the size/position of each display (listed to the left) is measured in pixels relative to its size/position within the
layout space. Pre-dened layouts do not include bezel compensation.
Note: Video wall configuration and warping is not available in Scaler Mode.
This control software provides a number of common, pre-dened,
video wall congurations which can be selected and easily
applied to any connected units. All pre-dened congurations
are designed around video walls containing 4 displays.
1. SELECTING PRE-DEFINED LAYOUTS: Select any of the
provided pre-dened layouts from the right-hand scroll bar. After
selecting a new layout, you must conrm that you wish to leave
the current layout.
Note: It is not possible to save changes to the pre-defined
layouts. Switching to a new layout will remove any changes
made to the current layout.
■ AVAILABLE PRE-DEFINED LAYOUTS: After conrming
the preferred layout, select all of the units involved in the
video wall from the “Unit” section at the top of the window
and then click on the “Set” button in the bottom-right corner
of the window to upload the new layout conguration to all
selected units. After clicking “Set”, the units will take a few
seconds to fully update with the new conguration.

Customized Video Wall Layouts
The position, size and angle of the display connected to each unit is set in the Layout window when in Rotation Mode. If you are currently
in the Setting window, clicking on the “Layout” button in the upper- left “Common” section of the window will switch back to the Layout
window and activate Rotation mode.
The outline of the layout window represents the source video (1920x1080 pixels) and each display must be placed within this space,
without exceeding the edges (not including bezel size, if active). Each display contains a number which matches the ID number of the
unit that is connected to it and the size/position of each display (listed to the left) is measured in pixels relative to its size/position within
the layout space. When a bezel measurement is used, the display width/ height measurement should be the total measurement of the
screen plus the bezel.
Note: Video wall configuration and warping is not available in Scaler Mode.
This control software provides a number of common, pre-
dened, video wall congurations, however in most cases
a customized layout will be needed. Custom layouts
are created by selecting a layout to use as a basis, and
then right-clicking on the layout’s selection button and
selecting “New” from the dropdown. You then provide a
name for the new layout and click “OK” to generate it.
Custom layouts are colored differently to make them easy
to identify.
The Unit information area on the left shows all of the relevant
details of the currently selected display. You may freely reposition
or resize any of the displays by simply clicking on them and
dragging them around the layout space, or by typing numbers
directly into the Unit information area. If bezel measurements
are to be used, the display width/height measurement should
be the total measurement of the screen plus the bezel. After
arranging the layout to approximately match the arrangement of
the real displays, select all of the units involved in the video wall
from the “Unit” section at the top of the window and then click
on the “Set” button in the Unit information section to upload
the new layout conguration to all selected units. After clicking
“Set”, the units will take a few seconds to fully update with the
new conguration. In most cases it will take multiple adjustment
and tweaking passes to perfectly match the physical layout.
It is recommended to periodically save the modications that have been made to the current layout by right clicking on the layout and
selecting “Update”. This will save the changes to the layout, so that they are not lost if you close the software, or change to another
layout.
Note: Making changes to a layout and then switching to a new layout without updating the layout will cause those changes to be lost.

Multi-Zone Video Wall Layouts
Though this unit’s input is limited to a maximum resolution of
1080p, it is possible to generate large, exible, video walls
from 4K, or larger, sources by using a traditional 4K+ capable
video wall splitter product with each output of the video wall
splitter generating a 1080p block of video which is then further
distributed to each group of Video Wall Rotation Processors.
Note: It is not possible for a display to be used in more than one
zone at a time, or cross zone borders.
The Zone feature makes managing, and visualizing, this special
arrangement of displays easier. Simply click on the “Zone”
