the power capacitors to fully discharge.
Software Installation

software can communicate with the UltraVista 4K60 through a USB connection or through an Ethernet
connection. For a TCP/IP control interface, connect an Ethernet router or a crossover Ethernet cable between
configuration PC and the RJ45 connector of the UltraVista 4K60. Alternatively connect the configuration PC to
the UltraVista 4K60 mini USB PROG connector.

these modes are selected, a white circle will be displayed on the output image. Sliding the
circle resizes the output screen. The screen size can also be specified by entering the
numerical coordinates.
NOTE: 4K2K60 (YUV 4:4:4) input can only be displayed in a 2x2 output layout, with each
output set to 1080p60.
Figure 9. Quick Selection Menu
ii. Step2-2 (Output Settings from file):If a settings file has been saved on the computer running
the software, click the Step2-2 button to load this file. Click the Load from File button to
select the desired file, and then click the Apply button.
Figure 10. Load from File Menu

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data):There are three methods for setting the EDID used for the
video input: selecting one of the four options in the table of default values, acquiring the EDID from the
output monitors, and reading an EDID from a saved file.
Figure 12. Learn EDID Tab
To use one of the Default data sets, select the desired value from the pull down list and click the Learn
button. The preferred resolutions of the four default EDID values are:
Full-HD (1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 2ch
Full-HD (1080p@60)-24bit 2D & 7.1ch
4K2K@60-24bit 2D & 2ch
4K2K@60-24bit 2D& 7.1ch
To use an output display EDID, select the display from the pull down list and click the Learn button.
To load a data set from file, click the Load button to load in a selected file.
To review the specifics of a given EDID, select the source from the pull down menu and click the View
button.
To save an EDID as a file in the computer the software is running on, click the Save as… button.
NOTE: If different types of displays are used in the video wall, the best strategy is to learn the EDID of
the least capable display, especially when audio capable HDMI devices are part of the video wall.
