1. Overview
• The iWall 409R Gen2 is a new generation HDMI 4K60Hz video wall controller
designed by INFOBIT AV. Supports 4x HDMI inputs, 2x DP inputs (simultaneous as
HDMI IN1 and IN2), 9x HDMI outputs and 1x HDMI loop out.
• A single device, 4 inputs (2x mirrored DP) and 9 outputs (compatible with 1 in 9 out),
can be combined in any number of video wall layout modes of landscape or portrait
installation, and large-scale video wall can be connected by cascading more 409R.
• It supports maximum input 3840x2160@60Hz and backwards compatible and
maximum output 1920x1080@60Hz.
2. Features
• Using high-end programmable FPGA chip, pure hardware, real-time processing
architecture without delay and with anti-static design. Without Window blue screen,
virus risks, OS vulnerability, and breakdown risk. Lower requirements of IT
technology background, save your training cost.
• It supports 4 source windows on the whole wall in multiple displaying modes: single
image, PIP (Picture in Picture), POP (Picture on Picture), PYP ( Picture by Picture) or
Quad-view. All video windows support free zooming, cross-screen roaming, re-sizing
with arbitrary layers overlay.
• Support signal cropping, which can remove black edges and crop the focused
content to emphasize any details. It can perfectly solve the black edge problem
caused by the input source, for example for live-stream, digital signage
advertisement, sports bar, TV show or control room applications.
• Supports 16x videowall displaying modes such as horizontal screen 1x1 to 1x9;
vertical screen 9x1 to 1x1; or mosaic type: 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 2x4, 4x2... etc.
• Supports 4 channels of 4K*2K@60 input, each input port burns different resolutions,
and supports EDID management, reading, modification and customization of EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data), which improves the compatibility of the
display device enables the device output signal to adapt to various applications.

• Support inputs and outputs rotation: any input can be rotated in 90°, 180° or 270°,
and the first row of output can be rotated in 180°. It is ideal solution for both
landscape and portrait installation of videowall or up-down projector display.
• Supports 4x9 matrix mode.
• Inputs can be PC, media player, blue ray, game console and other devices.
• Support seamless real-time switching, without black screen intervals or lag during
the signal switching.
• Supports image effect color, saturation and other parameter adjustment functions
to solve the problem of signal color restoration, with screen freezing and screen
mirroring function, gamma/ panel gamma modes.
• Supports IR remote control, RS232, TCP/IP control methods, with keyboard shortcuts
for easy configuration and quick operation.
• Optional audio de-embedded, audio output can follow the HDMI OUT 1 or all output
ports. Also can disable audio of all ports.
• Supports functions such as hot swapping, power-off memory, host computer read-
back.
• Low power consumption and environmentally friendly design
• Supports full-channel 24bit, RGB 8:8:8 high color sampling depth, high-quality video
image output.
3. Applications
It is mainly used in industrial applications such as ultra-high-definition video surveillance,
large-scale video walls, advertising, exhibitions, conference, and digital signage.
