INTRODUCTION
The DVPS44 Video Wall Processor and Matrix Switch 4x4 HDMI Scal-
er provides the most exible and cost eective solution in the market.
The new DVPS44 can be used as a conventional matrix switch, routing
up to four dierent HDMI video sources to any monitor independently
or be used as video wall processor, splitting a chosen image from one
source to four displays.
On top of that, it can work as "combo" gear, showing any individual
input source in full-screen for any selected display while other displays
are working in video wall mode.
