For each display, users can define which area of the input video is to be displayed. Fundamentally, setup the X Total and Y Total first, and then define the upper-left (X Start, Y Start) and bottom-right (X End, Y End) corners for each display channel. The control panel to achieve this goal is as shown.
This area demonstrates the corresponding Video Selection and Monitor of the Input video to be display for
1
the selected Output Channel.
“Original Input Video” shows the resolution information of the Input Video to each Output Channel. This also varies depending on the Input Video
2
“Selected Area” shows the information of the selected area to be displayed. The numbers will vary
according to different settings.
“Output Resolution”: In this section, you can setup the output resolution for individual Output Channel. Notice that each display can output at different resolutions depending on supported resolution of the connected monitor/TV to that output channel.
“Capture Mode Enable” will enable parameters effective. If users disabled this selection, each output channel will display simply the full display of the input source.
3
“Auto Apply Settings” will automatically load the new settings into processor.
Clicking on “Update Status” will keep the information of Input video updated
Clicking on “Update Apply Settings” will load the parameters into the video processor.
Define X Total, Y Total, Upper-Left X, Y point coordinates using scroll bars or manually keying in this section. This section will roughly define these quantities which are needed for each Output channel. The
4
resulting capture area corresponds to the Input video is illustrated in Window to left.
“Fine Tune by Percentage” provides the alternative to further adjust the position and area defined in
5
section 4. For Outward Extension For Inward Shrink
By percentage, users need to determine what will be the reference. There are two choices for this part “Specified Area” and “Full Input”. Normally, “Specified Area” will work more appropriately while users are dealing with panel masking, because the overlapped masking area will be closed to specified area instead of full input video.
“Fine Tune by Pixel” offers similar approach to adjust the position and area of the Output channel. The idea behind this section is the same to “Fine Tune by Percentage”. The difference is that the adjustment
6
is based on Pixel. Users can therefore adjust the Output Channel area based on Pixels.

13. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
1. Check if AC Power Cord is firmly plugged into DVI-VIDEOWALL-12X
NO POWER
OFF-CENTER SCREEN IMAGE, ODD COLORS OR NO PIC­TURE
POOR QUALITY VIDEO
WRONG COLOR 9. Press “Color Balance” key in “State” for auto configuration.
2. If you are recovering from Power Outage, leave the device OFF for a while and then power it ON again.
3. Make sure all cables are in good working condition and properly connected DVI-VIDEOWALL-12X.
4. Configure the Output video resolution so that it doesn’t exceed the native supported resolution of TV/Monitor/Projector (Display). Usually a message of “Out of Range” is display on TV/Monitor.
5. Every time you change the resolution of Input Source, wait 10 – 20 seconds. After the resolution is changed, the selection of Input and the Display layout mode will return to default. Adjust the Input source and Display Layout Mode to your requirements again.
6. VGA Source can take up to 10 Seconds before it is recognized
7. We suggest you don’t use T-Connectors to split your video source into images displayed on two difference screens. This lowers the Output video quality. Use a distribution amplifier instead of T-Connectors
8. Make sure the video source is not compressed and maintains the highest native resolution
POOR LINKING
10. When the linking of the Serial Control cannot work, reboot DVI­VIDEOWALL-12X to establish the link.

Notice
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve and provide DVI/HDMI EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz LAN cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-8512C.3
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of LAN cables, the type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid LAN cables (usually in bulk cable 300m or 1000ft form) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded LAN cables (usually in patch cord form). Shielded STP cables are better suit than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP CAT5e cable shows longer transmission length than stranded STP CAT6 cable. For long extension users, solid LAN cables are your only choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for LAN cables is recommended for better performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in LAN cable, you can use shielded LAN cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the LAN cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance will be made and how good is the received display, the actual transmission length is subject to your LAN cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input #1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
