1INTRODUCTION
This guide is intended for initial processor setup only - consult the HELP function in the
control software for more detailed information.
Most Brick-HD video wall processor features can be setup using the using the display and rotary
switch on the front of the unit. Rotating this switch scrolls through menus on the display. Push the
switch to activate modes or to select a sub-menu.
Alternatively the control software supplied can be used with a Windows based PC to provide a more
user friendly graphical interface as described in this guide. The control software requires a
connection to the Brick-HD. This can be either RS232 via a PC COM port, or via a network using
the Ethernet port. The COM port is easier to set up. Also if the processor is initially connected via a
serial port it will simplify the network configuration process.
All video input and control connections to the processor are at the front. Video outputs are at the
rear. Video input and output modes are selected using the control software or manually using the
front panel display.
2INSTALLING THE CONTROL SOFTWARE
Insert the software CD in the drive and the installer should automatically run. If it does not run, use
Windows explorer to run the installation file BrickHD3.msi
If the Windows installer does not work, create a directory called ‘BrickHD’ in the ‘Program Files’
directory using Windows Explorer. Then copy all the files and directories in the ‘Software Files’
directory on the CD to the new BrickHD directory in Program Files on your PC.
Create a short cut on your desktop to Program Files\BrickHD\vwctrl.exe
Create a new directory in My Documents called ‘BrickHDProjects’ to use for your projects.
If you manually install the software, you will need to manually delete these directories to remove the
software.

3CONTROL USING RS232
Connect the PC to the Brick-HD Host RS232 port using the cross-over cable supplied (also known
as Null Modem cable).
If your PC does not have a built in COM port, a USB-Serial adapter can be used. Install the drivers
for your adapter before starting the Brick-HD Control software application.
Install the Brick-HD control software and start the application.
From the File menu, select Setup. Select the desired PC COM port from the pull down menu. Click
Save Settings, click OK.
The PC should now be in communication with the
processor.
Once the COM port is set, configure the number of
installed processors. If there is more than one processor
connected, each will need a different unit ID. If it is
necessary to change a device's unit ID, connect one unit
at a time to the PC using the serial cable and select the
required unit ID using the appropriate button and click
Set Unit ID this will programme the processor with
this ID. The processor will then only respond to
commands referencing this ID.
The settings can be saved and applied automatically
next time the software is run using the Save settings
button. This will update the file "BrickHD.ini",
typically located in user specific directory
“My Documents\BrickHDprojects”.
Click on Auto for the software to scan each unit and set the installed flag to confirm the correct
configuration of the chain.
In addition, to check communication with all the processors, read back the version information
using the File/Hardware Info menu.
The processor can be controlled using just the RS232 COM port, however a network connection is
required to update the software or to transfer configuration files to the processor. The processor can
continue to be controlled using the serial port when the network connection is established. File
transfers will be performed using the network connection but remaining control is via the serial port.
In this mode, the IP address of the Brick-HD will be determined via the serial connection, so there is
no need to further configure the PC software. It is necessary to enable IP communication on the
Brick-HD however.

4Brick-HD IP NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The processor network port is permanently enabled. It will auto-configure for 10/100BaseT and
auto-sense the connection direction. It is not necessary to use a cross-over cable to connect the
network port directly to a network port on a PC. The status of the Ethernet connection can be
viewed from the front panel display.
If the display is blank, press the front panel button. Rotate the Select front panel knob or click the
Down button in the Display panel dialog to select the Ethernet status display. This will display the
MAC address and the Ethernet status.
By default the processor will be configured to acquire a network (IP) address using DHCP. If the
processor is connected to a router that supports DHCP the processor can be connected immediately
using an Ethernet cable and powered-up. The IP address assigned can be seen on the front panel
display as part of the start-up process. Once the processor has started the IP address can be
determined by rotating the front panel knob clockwise to the IP parameters page.
If DHCP is not going to be used, do not connect the Ethernet cable just yet, otherwise the processor
will take some time start-up as it is trying to perform a DHCP transaction that will ultimately time
out.
If the processor is connected to the controlling PC using a serial port, as described in the previous
section, the IP parameters can be set using the PC application. Select File/Config from the main
menu to select the dialog box shown below.
The MAC address is pre-configured. It can be
set to any value (provided it is unique on the
LAN it’s connected too). To make the address
unique select the “Set MAC from Serial
Number” button and enter the processor serial
number.
If DHCP is going to be used, check the enable
DHCP box. You can also configure the
remaining IP values even if DHCP is being
used. These will only be applied if DHCP
fails.
The SNTP (internet time) server address is
optional. This will not be populated by
DHCP. The server can be either an SNTP or
an NTP server.
The TFTP server service should be enabled
(checked). The other services are optional.
In order for the software to communicate with the processor over the network, the MTCP (Media
Technologies Control Protocol) box must be checked to enable it on the processor.

Copyright Media Technologies 2011

At this stage the remaining fields can be left with their initial settings. Click OK to save the settings
and exit the dialog. The processor needs to be reset to apply the new IP configuration. If the
Ethernet cable was unplugged previously because DHCP was not being used, plug it in now.
5Brick-HD CONTROL VIA IP
The Brick-HD must be configured for IP communication before attempting to connect to it using the
PC control software. The easiest way of doing this is as described in the previous section. If there is
no PC with a serial port available it is still possible to set-up the processors network interface.
If the processor successfully acquires an IP address via DHCP the PC control software can be set up
to use this IP address. The configuration can then be changed using the Remote Configuration
dialog e.g. to set a static IP address. A static IP address is preferable, since addresses assigned by
DHCP servers can change, unless the DHCP server is configured to map a specific address to the
MAC address.
Alternatively if there is no DHCP server, use the front panel display to configure the IP parameters.
If the display is blank, press the control button to wake it up. Rotate the button clockwise to select
the configuration menu. Press to select configuration mode. Rotate the button to the IP option and
press the button to select it. You can then program each of the parameters in the same way by
rotating the button to select the menu item and pressing the button. Once a menu item is selected,
enter each field by rotating the button and then pressing it to use the setting.
Each menu level has an Exit option at the end which if selected drops back to the previous level. If
the button is pressed and rotated anti-clockwise before being released it will move back one field, or
exit from the menu selection if it’s the first field. If the button is pressed, rotated clockwise and
released it will cancel the current setting and go back to the menu.
Once all the necessary IP fields have been configured the processor needs to be rebooted to apply
the new settings.
Once the IP network is working, to configure the PC software for a network connection, select
File/Setup from the main menu. Click the Configure-IP button.
Type the IP address corresponding to the address assigned (via
DHCP or by configuration via the front panel display). The Port
number must be set to 5000. The shared secret should initially
be left blank. Click OK and then try and connect via TCP/IP to
the processor by clicking on the Remote (TCP/IP) button. The
connection should be established almost immediately.
If successful the status bar will show TCP/IP in the bottom left hand corner of the software window.
Leave the Set-up dialog and select the File/Config menu option. The remaining configuration
parameters can now be set. At this point a shared secret between the PC and processor can be set, so
that next time a connection will be authenticated. This is done using the Remote Configuration
dialog shown on the previous page.
If connection fails - and an authentication failure message is shown in the control software status
bar, the processor may have an invalid shared secret configured. This can be deleted using the front
panel display. It is not possible to set the shared secret via the front panel display.

6VIDEO INPUTS
The processor has one DVI input one analogue component, one composite and one s-video input.
Only one video input can be displayed on the video wall at one time. Future software upgrade
will allow two inputs to be displayed.
Changing Video INPUT Settings
The software can be used to control up to four processors in parallel. Select the processor to be
configured using the buttons in the configure unit box. To configure all units the same, using unit 0
as the master use the "*" select all button.
If a valid signal is present on the
selected input, the Lock box will
be green, if not locked it will be
red. The processor can be set to
automatically determine the
video standard on the selected
input by checking the "Auto
standard detect" box.
Alternatively the video input
signal parameters can be
configured manually if the box is
unchecked. To set the processor
to the manually configured
parameters click Update.
If the video standard is known use manual configuration as lock will be faster. In automatic mode,
the processor will take a few seconds to measure the input signal. It is possible to select the
automatic option to configure the input initially and revert to the manual mode once it has locked.
The Standard Definition (SD) buttons are greyed out since current versions of firmware do not yet
support any SD video formats via the Composite/S-Video inputs.
IMPORTANT
Select SAVE to configure the processor to use these values as power-up defaults.

Copyright Media Technologies 2011

7VIDEO OUTPUTS
The rear panel has 16 DVI connectors which are used to output DVI directly via a standard DVI
cable, or analogue outputs – typically Component – using a break-out cable or DVI to component
adapter.
Default mapping of outputs to monitors in a 4x4 video wall array is given in the table below. The
inner borders show default mappings for 2x2 and 3x3 video wall arrays.
CH-01 CH-02 CH-03 CH-04
CH-05 CH-06 CH-07 CH-08
CH-09 CH-10 CH-11 CH-12
CH-13 CH-14 CH-15 CH-16
Changing Video OUTPUT Settings
There are three possible output modes, Digital, Analog Component YPrPb or RGB. All all are via
the rear panel DVI connectors. One mode only can be used at one time.
If supported by the installed firmware each output has
a 2 dimensional pixel interpolation filter. This can be
enabled or disabled in both directions independently.
If the installed firmware version does not support the
interpolation filter, these options will also be greyed
out.
Outputs can also be selectively disabled to save
energy consumption. If you are running a small video
wall this is highly recommended.
Once configured the settings can be saved in the
processor flash memory. These saved settings will be applied after a software reset or power-up.
The settings can also be copied to the editor cut/paste buffer, using the copy button. The
configuration can then be pasted into a text file as part of an effects script.
The software can be used to control up to four processors (more using extended commands). Select
the processor to be configured using the buttons in the "configure unit" box. To configure all units
the same, using unit 0 as the master use the "*" select all button.
IMPORTANT
Select SAVE to configure the processor to use these values as power-up defaults.

8ALIGNING THE VIDEO WALL IMAGE
The monitor alignment feature allows various monitor layouts to be configured. The gaps between
the monitors (bezels) can be compensated for. It is also possible to move rows and columns of
monitors to account for video walls with a different aspect ratio to the input signal.
IMPORTANT
The alignment capability provided by the processor cannot compensate for mis-aligned
monitors. Monitors should all be aligned using the manufacturer features.
The processor must be aligned for each split (magnification factor) that is going to be used for each
video standard.
To align the monitor array first make sure the monitors are cabled as expected. Selecting an
individual monitor in the array will cause the corresponding channel to display a blue colour wash.
If the channel does not appear in the correct position in the array instead of moving the cables it's
possible to achieve the same effect in software. See the channel mapping section below.
Next select a split to align the video wall using the Split button, e.g. 4x4.
If monitors with no over scan are used, it is possible to align the
magnified image to compensate for the monitor border using the Bezel
button. Enter the outside dimensions of the monitor in the Bezel width
and height fields and the image size in the Picture width and height
fields. The values can be in inches or millimetres – however all 4 values
must use the same measurement unit. The outer dimension should
include any gap between the monitors.
Click on apply to try the values or click OK, to apply and exit from the dialog. To position the
image, select Pan and use the sliders to move the image Up/Down and Left/Right.

Copyright Media Technologies 2011
Page 10 of 18
To manually adjust individual rows click on a row (A,B,C,D) to select a row to adjust, Use the
slider on the left to move that row up/down relative to the other rows. The same action is possible
on columns (1,2,3,4).
If the split is less than the maximum it will repeat. So for example, in the case of a split of 2 on a
4x4 wall, columns 2 and 4 will have the same video image and alignment as will columns 1 and 3.
To completely erase the settings for all splits for the current video standard, use the Default button.
To clear the current selected row or column and set it back the default use the Clear button.
When complete, the alignment can be saved in a file on the processor using the Save button. The
saved configuration will be applied on power-up/reset. The split selected will also be re-applied at
the same time.
The video wall must be aligned for each split and image resolution that will be used. If the Bezel
button is used, the entered values will be saved to that they can be easily re-applied with other splits
and input image sizes.
IMPORTANT
When you have finished aligning the image, click SAVE at the left side to ensure the processor
registers the alignment values on power-up.
Monitor – Output Channel Mapping
The mapping of output channels to a position in the video wall array can be changed using the
Channel Mapping feature. To map a channel using the alignment dialog either click on the monitor
you want to move then click Swap, (or simply left click on the monitor). The selected monitor will
be highlighted in yellow. Then click on the monitor position you want it to occupy. The monitor
positions will be swapped. The effect will be immediately visible on the video wall if video is being
displayed.
To re-dimension the video wall from it's normal default mapping use the Dimension button. This
will automatically allocate the channels in rows and columns from a starting point. Click on a
monitor to select this prior to clicking the Dimension button. For example the apparently odd
mapping for a 5x5 video wall can be changed to linear row/column count using this feature. When
the Dimension button is pressed a further dialog box will appear allowing the row/column and split
details to be entered.
The new monitor mapping can be saved using the Save button in the channel mapping box. The
mapping can also be copied to the editor cut/paste scratch pad, using the Copy button. The mapping
configuration can then be pasted into a text file as part of a sequence.
Channels can also be mapped dynamically as part of a timed sequence script to create effects.
IMPORTANT
When you have finished mapping the channels click on SAVE MAP in the channel mapping
to ensure the new map is applied on power up.

9CONTROL SCRIPTS
The processor can be controlled using text file scripts “sequences” created within the control
software environment. Sequences can be downloaded to the processor for stand-alone operation.
The Sequence Buttons Dialog box is available from main menu Buttons or by right clicking in the
main window client area.
The dialog box provides 10 tabbed pages of buttons which comprises a project. Each button calls up
a sequence file. The highlighted button in the action group determines what will happen if one of the
buttons on the tabbed section is left clicked, using the mouse. If the button is right clicked a menu
will appear presenting a set of actions, which is a shortcut way of performing an action on the
sequence file associated with the button, if that action isn't selected. Right clicking on the space
where a button could be placed presents a different menu to create a new button or paste a
previously cut button.
The default action is to run the
Sequence file.
To create a new project - or select an
existing project click on the Project
button in the Action group at the top
of the screen. This will present a file
dialog box. Use this to either move
to a suitable directory and enter the
name of a new project, or navigate to
a directory and click on an existing
project and click Open.
Project files have the extension .EFX
To run the sequence, select the Run action and left click on the button.
To move a button, select the Cut action and click on the button. Left click on a spare button to place
it. It is possible to change pages in this state. The Cut button will be remembered and can be pasted
more then once. This only duplicates the button - there is still only one underlying sequence file.
To permanently delete a button, select the Delete action and click on the desired button. This will
only delete the button, not the associated sequence file.
To edit the sequence associated with the button click on Edit in the action group, then the desired
button. If the sequence file exists it will be opened in the editor. If not a dialog box asking to create
the file will be presented.
To exit from the dialog box click Done. If changes to the project have been made you will be
prompted to save these changes. If this request is cancelled the button dialog will remain, If the
answer is No, changes since the last save are lost.

Adding Sequence Buttons
To add buttons to the project click New in the Action group. This will disable all existing buttons on
the tab and show all the spare button positions. A different page can be selected in this state. Click
on a spare button. A dialog box will appear allowing the name of the button and path to a sequence
file to be entered. An open file dialog box can be used to locate the sequence file if Browse is
selected. The sequence file does not have to exist at this point - the name of a new file can be
entered.
By convention the file should have the
extension .SEQ Alternatively, if a sequence file
exists that you want to map to a button - from
another project for example, open a Windows
Explorer window (My Computer) and browse to
the directory the file is located in. Left click on
the file and drag it to the tabbed area and release
the mouse button.
This will "Drag and Drop" the file to the project. A button will be created using a short form of the
filename. This can be changed if required using the Rename action button.
Renaming a Sequence Button
Renaming a button is similar to adding a button. Select Rename from the Action group and left
click on the button to rename it. A dialog box
will appear with the existing legend and
filename values populated. These can be
edited. Click Ok to save the new values.
Installing Sequences in the Processor
It is possible to download a sequence to the processor Flash memory and have it execute on the
processor itself. Execution can be manually triggered using the front panel display or by any other
control device capable of sending RS232 characters.
Default RS232 format is 19200 bit/s, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit and no Parity.
IMPORTANT
For file transfer, the processor must have the TFTP service enabled and have IP connectivity
via the network as described in the Network Control section above.
To download a sequence click on Install action followed by the button you want to download. This
will invoke the sequence compiler. If successful, the compiled sequence, now in a proprietary
format, will be downloaded to the processor. The filename used is derived by the software from the
PC filename - but this can be changed prior to downloading if required. The extension ".SFB" must
be used for files to be executed by the processor.
In a multi-processor installation, sequence files are generally only installed on processor with ID =
0. Messages in the downloaded sequence intended for slave processors are sent by processor 0 to the

Copyright Media Technologies 2011
Page 13 of 18
addressed processor. Slave processors behave in the same way as if they were being controlled by a
remote PC.
It is possible to install sequences on processors other than ID = 0 by selecting the target processor
via the Unit check box in the setup dialog. Changing the Unit ID from the "Unit ID" group of
buttons changes the unit ID in compiled sequences but does not set the primary unit.
Executing a Sequence
When a sequence is run the software reads the lines of text from the file into memory and begins
interpreting them. If an error is detected a dialog pops up indicating the error. At this point it is
possible to select an option to open the file and go directly to the line causing the error.
The line number currently being executed is displayed. The time-code, relative to the time the
sequence stared is also displayed. Since lines execute quickly, only lines with a "wait" command
will be displayed in the line number box for a sustained period. At this point the Skip button will be
enabled.
To skip over the wait command, click the Skip button. Execution will continue until then next wait
statement.
To pause indefinitely click the Pause button. The name of the Pause button will change to Run.
Click this Run button to resume execution.
To exit the sequence at any point click Stop.
If the Done button is clicked when a sequence is running, the sequence will be abandoned and the
dialog box closed.
If the sequence contains a REM statement, the Tabbed page of buttons is replaced by a text window
while the sequence is running. REM statement text is displayed in this window. If a REM statement
does not cause the text window to appear and a button from the tabbed page of buttons is clicked,
the current sequence is aborted and the new sequence selected runs.
Running Downloaded Remote Sequences
Sequences can be compiled and downloaded to the processor flash filing system. The downloaded
sequences can then be mapped to a single ASCII character for single RS232 character sequence file
execution. Compilation and downloading is done using the Buttons dialog: right click the sequence
button to be downloaded and select install. The processor must be connected via the network.
Sequence files are held in processor flash filing system directory A:/sequence/ The file defining the
mapping between single RS232 characters and compiled sequence files is seqmap.conf in the same
directory.
From the main menu select Sequence/Remote. A list of files will be read from the remote unit
when the dialog box is opened (if no files have been downloaded a file error will be flagged).
To run a downloaded sequence file, select the line containing the sequence file and click Run. To
stop any executing sequence click Stop. There is no need so select a specific sequence file to stop a
running sequence.
To delete a downloaded sequence file, select the line containing it and click Delete.

To modify a line entry, select the line to modify and click Modify, or just double click the line. This
will pop up a further dialog box allowing the associated character code and comment for the file to
be amended.
The Char and Dec fields are essentially the
same. The Char field shows the ASCII
character. The Dec field shows the decimal
equivalent of that character. Changing one
field will cause the other to update with the
appropriate value. If the decimal number is
outside the displayable ASCII character
range the Char field will be blank.
Files mapped to ASCII characters in the
range 0..9 (decimal 48 to 51) can be invoked
using the Sequence Keypad dialog or from
the front panel display.
