CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same
video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple
sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVSP24VW 4K Video Wall processor allows a source signal to be displayed across multiple displays
to create a video wall. Equipped with two HDMI 2.0 inputs to connect multiple sources, with four outputs to create a video
wall out of the box in multiple congurations. Need to create a larger video wall? Not a problem, the EVSP24VW features
HDMI loop-outs to daisy-chain multiple units together up to a 16x16 conguration! Also features audio options including
toslink digital audio output and balanced analog outputs, to break out into an amplier or distributed audio system. Capable of
passing 4K@60Hz with scaling, the EVSP24VW is the perfect video wall solutions for small and large applications.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions differ, the
extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest resolution. This will result in a
picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video settings. If the HDMI
control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or video in addition to a blue or black
screen with a statement similar to “this protocol not supported” or “weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can also disconnect
all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables disconnected, turn on
the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s
input, nally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in
corresponding order and results in a signal being plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate between
devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control circuit or the authentication
of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes a player, an audio/video receiver, or a cable/
satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually this can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
