1. INTRODUCTION
This 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.

6.3 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.
6.3.1 Software Operation
Please obtain the “Video Wall Control” software from your authorized
dealer 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.

6.3.2 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 ( ).
■ 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

7
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.

6.3.4 Pre-Dened 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
(1920×1080 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 conguration 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-Dened 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
