10.4. Bezel Compensation
➢Through [Overlap] menu, user can adjust image cropping area and adjust image position.
➢User can apply test pattern and reduce [Overlap] value to enlarge the image to the bezel center line
between two monitors to achieve bezel compensation.
➢User can also calculate the pixels number for bezel compensation based on the video wall dimension
and bezel size. If the video wall active display area is 360cm in width and the input source is 3840,
then the pixel number for each centimeter is 3840/360=10.67 pixel/cm. If the bezel size is 12mm in
one edge, then user can decrease Overlap value 10.67*1.2=12.8 (13) pixels to do bezel
compensation for that edge (to enlarge the image 13 pixels at that edge).
11. OSD Lock and Unlock
➢User can hold [MENU] key on front panel or remote controller for 5 seconds to lock OSD to prevent

14. Irregular / Asymmetric Video Wall Settings
14.1. Introduction
➢Asymmetric video wall can be created by rotating monitor installation direction or position. User can
crop different area image for each monitor, rotate image direction and adjust image position through
G406 to achieve it.
Note: Image flip and rotation are only available when input resolution is under 4k/2k @30Hz.
➢User can use monitors with different dimensions, bezel size and resolution as display devices. No
data base for monitor is required and it allows user to have some deviation in installation position. All
of these factors can be corrected by GeoBox video wall settings.
➢G406 can only rotate the image at 90/180/270 degrees. The monitors need to be installed at
landscape or portrait position. If users want to install monitor at other rotation angle, G413 model
should be used.
