The MXWALL-UHD can be connected through either the web or our provided software.
The web connection will require the device to be on the same network as the PC that will
control it. With our provided software, the user has the option to also connect to the
device through either the network or via RS232.

The IP address of the device can be found our provided application SmartFinderPro.
Simply open the application and click Find. It will provide a list of all the devices with their
IP address and MAC address. The user can also double click the IP address to quickly open
a web browser to go directly into using the web page.

By using the web page, the user is provided with two different options on how to
configure their video settings.
1. Video Matrix: This is the home page that the user starts in. Video Matrix allows the
user to quickly select each individual input and output.
2. TV Wall: This page allows the user to create “stitches” of their inputs, creating an
intuitive experience for video walls.

To use the TV Wall mode, click on the “TV Wall” link on the top right of the page.
1. Save Selection: To create a stitching, simply click on the desired input first and “drag
and drop” within the given matrix as seen below. Once the panel is highlighted in blue
to how the user would like to stitch, click save selection. This will change the panel to
show what input is currently being stitched.
2. Clear Selection: To remove any stitches, simply click clear selection. This button will
be grayed out unless there is an existing stitching.

On the top left of the page there is a purple button with three lines, clicking this will open up the
Configuration page. Please note that the Matrix Switch page only displays the “Open Settings” option.
For the TV Wall, the user is provided with the option to change matrix presets and can also set the
resolution.
Presets:
• 2x4

• 2x2
Resolutions:
• 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (1080p60)

Upon launching the MXWALL-UHD software, the user will be prompted to sign in. On first boot
up, the Administrator username and password will already be provided. The user may add additional
users with or without administrative privileges within the Users tab.

field to create a new account.
2. If editing an existing account, click save. Otherwise click add once you have filled in the required
fields to create an account.

The user can search for the MXWALL-UHD using the Connect tab in the MXWALL-UHD software
as long as the device and PC are within the same network. After opening Connect, select “Use
network connection” and click on “Start” next to Search devices. Select the connected Matrix to
add to the main page and then click OK.

This setup is similar to using the network on the software to connect. Select “Use serial port connection”
in the Connect tab and change the Serial port name to the appropriate COM port connection and set the
Baud rate to 9600. Once all of these settings are selected, click OK and the software will search for the
matrix using RS232.

Regardless of how the software connects to the device, controlling it will all be the same. Once the
connection has been established, the user can begin stitching together the monitors and changing
inputs.
a) Under the word tab section, the connection to the matrix will show as either an IP address or
COM port depending on how the user connects to the device. Within the green box shown below,
there are three MXWALL- UHD devices connected. The blue highlighted tab (192.168.1.113) will
show which device is currently being controlled for interaction.

On the left side in the PURPLE BOX where Input 1 – 8 is shown, the user can drag these input boxes
to the desired output. The user is also able to drag these inputs into stitched sets already to
seamlessly change. When creating new stitches, the lowest input within the stitching range will
always take priority when the stitch is created. For example, if the user were to stitch the two panels
in the BLUE BOX together, Input 1 has precedence over Input 5, therefore would create a 1x2 stitching
with Input 1. The user however can simply make this Input 5 by dragging the box labeled Input 5 from
the left side.
b)
On the right side in the RED BOX, users are able to register and reload layouts to quickly set up the
matrix to their liking. To register a layout, simply draw out the monitor stitching and type in the
name of the layout. Press the “Add” button to register it. Multiple layouts may be registered. It is
also possible to edit currently saved layouts by simply pressing “Save” while highlighting an existing
layout.
c)
The Close All tab in the PINK BOX is an easy way to quickly close out all existing stitches.d)
There are several main tabs within the MXWALL-UHD software.
1. Connections – Opening this menu will bring up a window that shows all currently connected
devices, showing their connection type. Here the user can easily remove a connected device by
highlighting the connection and clicking REMOVE. The user can also use the CONNECT button
in this window to switch to the highlighted device as well.

2. Connect – Please refer to Section 5.2.2 and 5.2.3
3. Settings – Opening this menu will bring up a window that provides the user with the option to
change the matrix layout as well as the resolution. To change the matrix layout simply add or
remove the number of rows or columns. The resolution can be changed by using the drop down
menu and selecting any of the following:
a. 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (1080p60)
b. 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz (4k30)
c. 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (4k60)

4. Users – Please refer to Section 5.2 and 5.2.1
5. Scheduler – Opening this menu will bring up the Scheduler window that allows the user to set
date specific schedules for saved layouts to automatically set up. Please note that because of
this, the user is required to register layouts in the general page of the software first before the
scheduler can be used.

6. Close All – This will close all current stitching in the matrix.
