INTRODUCTION
To create a four-screen ideo wall with four HD ideo inputs, the 4K-Wall
ideo wall controller and matrix pro ides a truly simple plug-and-play hard-
ware solution with incredible 4K resolution. With four inputs and four out-
puts, users can arrange their content in numerous ways, pro iding unique
functionality by combining the abilities of a ideo wall hardware controller
and a matrix. The 4K-Wall is HDCP compliant.
Users can stretch one large image o er four screens, send an input to each
screen, send four images to each screen or create a customizable Picture-
in-Picture display. Better still, there’s no software required, as all content
management options are effortlessly controlled ia the 4K-Wall ideo wall
controller unit itself. There’s no need for dri ers or updates, just connect
the HD inputs and HD screens to the controller and it’s ready to go.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the 4K-Wall.
2. Connect the (4) HDMI inputs (i.e. PC, Blu-Ray Player, Digital Signage,
etc.) to the (4) HDMI INPUT ports of the 4k-Wall using HDMI cables.
3. Connect the (4) monitors to the (4) HDMI OUTPUT ports of the 4k-Wall
using HDMI cables for HDMI monitors and TVS, or HDMI-to-DVI adapt-
ers for DVI displays.
4. Connect the IR recei er to the IR input jack at the back of the 4k-Wall.
5. Optionally connect an RS-232 cable from PC to the RS-232 port of the
unit for additional control.
6. Turn on the 4k-Wall.
7. Wait for a few seconds for the unit to initialize.
AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS
There are four different configurations or modes that are easy to na igate

USING RS-232 CONTROL (c ntinued)
There are two primary modes of operation for 4K-WALL: Command Mode
and CLI Mode . When connecting to the 4K-WALL ia RS-232, it will start in
Command Mode (see Command Mode on p. ** for options). CLI Mode is a
more user- friendly way of operating the DVR16x16 and includes instruc-
tional menus. The following section details the use of the CLI Mode.
When you connect to the 4K-WALL to a computer ia an RS-232 connec-
tion, you will see the following screen on startup:

USING RS-232 CONTROL (c ntinued)
Command Mode:
Command Mode:Command Mode:
Command Mode: allows raw commands to be sent to the 4K-WALL to con-
trol its arious functions without the use of a menu or prompt.
<C
CC
C > is carriage return (0x0D). All commands sent from PC end with <CR>
(or the <enter> key if using HyperTerminal).
TCP/IP CONTROL
4K-WALL TCP/IP control is a feature that allows mode switching and other
configurations to be controlled remotely ia HTTP or TELNET. Manage the
switching functions of your matrix with ease from anywhere in the world.
You can sa e input/output configuration presets for easy access. TELNET
access pro ides transparent command control of your matrix, perfect for use
with automated third-party control software.
