9.3. [Overlap] –and Position Alignment
[Overlap] adjustment changes the cropping area of the source image so that image position in each
monitor will be shifted. It can compensate Bezel Size of the monitor and correct misalignment in monitor
installation. If overlap value is decreased, each monitor will capture less image area and cause [zoom
in] (enlarged) effect. If overlap value is increased, each monitor will capture more image area and
cause [zoom out] (shrunk) effect. User can also use this function to correct position mis-alignment in
installation, shift image location for irregular video wall and set overlap area for projector edge blending
application.
For 3x1 displays
Horizontal Zoom= 3, Vertical Zoom = 1

➢User can see the image and select Edge to adjust [Overlap] value for Bezel compensation and to
adjust image mis-alignment due to monitor installation issue.
➢User can use [Overlap] function to stretch the image outside video wall (some image will be missing)
or draw image inside video wall with Black blanking area at the edge. This function can adjust the
aspect ratio of the content to meet required aspect ratio of the video wall. Please see more details in
[Flexible Aspect Ratio Adjustment] section.
➢Asymmetric video wall can be achieved through overlap adjustment even with different size of
monitor and bezel dimension.
9.4. 3x3 Video Wall setup
Below is 3x3 video wall with one G408 and one G406s instead of two G408 to reduce the cost. G406s is
dual channel video wall controller. Different model GeoBox can work together.
➢Signal source: all GeoBox must receive the same signal source through loop out port connections.
➢Output Port: No specific connection sequence is required.
➢Zoom: To set H (Horizontal) = 3, V (Vertical) = 3 in all channels.
➢Pan: to set PAN based on the actual connection position.
➢TV1: H=1, V=1, TV2: H=2, V=1, TV3: H=3, V=1, TV4: H=1, V=2, TV9: H=3, V=3
➢Overlap: If the bezel of each TV is less than 3.5mm, usually, it is not necessary for overlap
adjustment. If user wants to do bezel compensation, please see below section for more details.
➢User can use Overlap to adjust the image position in each TV to compensate mis-alignment during
installation.
➢If different size TV is used, user can also compensate image location through Overlap adjustment.
➢The TV can be installed at 90/180/270 rotation. User needs to rotate the image based on each TV
direction through [Orientation] under [Image properties] menu, then to do [Video Wall] menu setup.

9.5. Bezel Compensation
➢Through [Overlap] menu, user can adjust image cropping area and adjust image position.
➢User can apply test pattern and reduce [Overlap] value to enlarge the image to the bezel center
line between two monitors to achieve bezel compensation.
➢User can also calculate the pixels number for bezel compensation based on the video wall
dimension and bezel size. If the video wall active display area is 360cm in width and the input
source is 3840, then the pixel number for each centimeter is 3840/360=10.67 pixel/cm. If the bezel
size is 12mm in one edge, then user can decrease Overlap value 10.67*1.2=12.8 (13) pixels to do
bezel compensation for that edge (to enlarge the image 13 pixels at that edge).
➢User can apply the same method to correct the position mis-alignment in monitor installation or set
