When building a panel array, it is advisable to build the array in one piece, right to left looking at the rear of the screen. This way, the panels can be
easilyand evenlyconfigured toproduce a seamless array.
When adding a horizontal panel, the horizontal locking pins should be retracted. Once the next panel is in place, release the horizontal locking pin
and loosely screw it into place so it is locked with the panel beside it. Only tighten it up once the front of the panels are completely seamless. Note
that fastening the locking pins too tight can warp the screen and prevent a seamless screen.

Configuring the Screen
This Chapter will discuss the software setup & configuration steps needed to use the screen.
The image below illustrates a typical system setup for the AV6 panels and MCTRL300 processor.
At this point, the screen panels should be connected to the power source and connected to the MCTRL300 via Ethernet cabling as discussed in the
previous chapter.
Note that the amount of one port on the MCTRL300 unit can process imagery for 580,000 pixels. So, one ethernet port can connect up to 53 AV6 panels.
