The information appearing in this manual applies to Sequoia UHD / UHD+ / UHD/T / UHD/T+, as well as the IP receiver modules (Sequoia UHD-IPc / UHD-IPf), UHD to HD converter module (Sequoia UHD2HD) and the KM card (Sequoia UHD-KM)), which can be ordered to create highly customized systems. All of the Sequoia series add-on cards are compatible with either of the Sequoia UHD models.

To get the best results from Sequoia UHD, we recommend the following:

 When using your mouse with a 4K display, select a mouse that has a 2000 dpi setting.  In industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables (shielded Ethernet cables are often marked

F/UTP or FTP).

1. Getting Started

The Avitech Sequoia UHD is a highly innovative device that comes with its own embedded operating system and graphic engines. The Sequoia UHD integrates functions of a KVM (keyboard video mouse) switch and a robust multi-viewer into one enclosure, providing a simple multi-viewing solution for any user who works in an environment with multiple computer and video systems. With a single Sequoia UHD being able to connect up to four-plus-one computers and instantly switch inputs among them, users can monitor and remotely control any four computers at the same time on a single display plus a fifth computer on a full-screen display with just one set of keyboard and mouse. With the added option of IP-based remote control, this ensures intuitive user experience at the router’s destination over an extended distance from source devices, and allowing streamlined access to a bank of computers by a single keyboard/mouse. The Sequoia UHD also supports a variety of video formats from HDMI to DVI-D.

With the SUHD-IP module installed in your Sequoia UHD, intuitive signal switching and routing can be achieved through the in-system GUI. The IP TX/RX list panels provide full configurations for switching/ routing of video signals. User can freely switch a detected TX source to any of the four built-in RX ports in the SUHD-IP module, or route a TX source to any of the detected Avitech RX devices in the same network mask through the IP TX/RX list panels, performing centralized management over all connected devices.

The Sequoia UHD features an on-screen pop-up selection plus mouse right-click menu that allows handy operation and control of the device. By clicking the relevant pop-up selections’ icon or pressing the hot-keys through the keyboard, users can easily convert monitoring styles to various layouts, and adjust windows to any size and position on the display. The mouse right-click menu allows users to freely set up or configure numerous features for different applications; including audio source routing.

In addition to its interface and features, the Sequoia UHD can enter Remote mode to transfer keyboard and mouse control from the Sequoia to the connected computer systems. Users can then remotely control any of the connected computers with the set of keyboard and mouse on the Sequoia. The “Surfer” feature, along with other user-friendly commands supported by the Sequoia UHD allows users to freely switch control between the computers and the host Sequoia in an intuitive manner.

This chapter will continue to introduce more features and specifications as well as external components of your Sequoia UHD / UHD+ / UHD/T / UHD/T+.

1.2 Product Features

Table 1-2 Sequoia UHD Series Comparison

The Sequoia UHD is HDCP-compliant and capable of handling HDMI® and DVI-D inputs. Featuring four HDMI input ports, and one HDMI output port, a single Sequoia UHD can connect up to four-plus-one computers, four videos, or any combination of four inputs. It can simultaneously display four inputs on a single display, and allows instant switching of inputs through its OSD.

The Sequoia UHD features automatic sensing of input signals, automatic detection and selection of optimum display resolution; it also supports hot-swapping which allows addition and removal of any input/output signals without powering down the device. Genlock capability supports synchronizing multiviewer outputs to the reference signal and the rest of studio/production equipment.

For audio monitoring of the four remote computers, the Sequoia UHD features four 1/8 inch headphone jack via the proprietary Sequoia male to dual male Y splitter audio cable. It also allows monitoring of the fifth computer on another 1/8 inch headphone jack via the proprietary Sequoia male to dual male Y

splitter audio cable. It accepts embedded HDMI® audio (8ch-stereo). Instant switching of audio signal source for audio routing including “mix” and “mute” is available through the right-click menu.

For operation, Sequoia UHD provides convenient on-screen pop-up selections and right-click menu as well as easy to recall hot-keys that can be controlled by a set of keyboard and mouse, allowing free switching of operating modes and adjustments for numerous behavior that suits different applications.

In addition to monitoring, the Sequoia UHD can remotely control the connected computers through the USB keyboard and mouse connected to its rear panel. Utilizing the “Surfer” feature – which allows users to transfer keyboard and mouse control from one computer to another by simply moving the mouse cursor to the window border of the targeted computer, the Sequoia UHD is able to seamlessly switch between and control any of the four-plus-one computers connected to it with just one set of keyboard and mouse. Up to two IP cards (SUHD-IP) used in conjunction with Avitech’s Pacific extenders allows sources to be installed out-of-sight at central, air-conditioned equipment rack and accessed remotely.

The Sequoia UHD is also extremely scalable; users can easily expand the system by cascading up to 25 chassis which allows for the monitoring of up to 100 signal sources on multiple screens.

Integrated file and folder transfer across computers provides convenient file management. By selecting an origin and a destination through the onscreen user interface, the Sequoia UHD allows simple copy/ cut and paste of files/folders across connected computers using its embedded file managing tool (Go! Bridge Utility).

1. Non-standard keyboards (i.e. keyboards with a USB hub, keyboards that need driver installation and programmable keyboards, etc.) are not supported.

2. Compatibility between the computer and the Sequoia UHD may depend on the computer’s BIOS Setup. If an incompatibility occurs, refer to the computer’s BIOS Setup and make sure USB port is enabled if this item exists in the computer’s BIOS Setup (typically found in the "Advanced" or "Onboard Device Configuration" menu).

1. Because the Sequoia UHD is available as a customizable system, the illustrations in this chapter and

those used throughout the manual may differ from the model(s) you purchased.

2. Keep a note of which transmitter/receiver is connected to which port. You can use this information later

when you rename transmitters/receivers in the IP TX List and IP RX List tables.

3. You do not have to use all the slots.

2. System Configuration

This chapter provides information on installing and removing a modular card into and out of the Sequoia UHD chassis. It also discusses the process of setting up your Sequoia UHD.

2.1 Installing a New Module on a Blank Slot

The Sequoia UHD chassis accepts the following modules:

 SUHD-MB Module (may be pre-installed from the dealer)  SUHD-MB/IPT Module (may be pre-installed from the dealer)  SUHD-IPc Module  SUHD-IPf Module  SUHD-2HD Module

Keyboard/Mouse Module:

 SUHD-KM Module

Installation and removal of the modules follow the same procedures. In this section, a SUHD-IP module was used as an example.

To install a SUHD-IP module on a blank slot, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Remove the two screws securing the back plate.

Figure 2-1 Remove the Two Plate Screws

Step 2. Remove the back plate.

Figure 2-2 Remove the Back Plate

Step 3. Align both sides of the SUHD-IP module to the rails of the slot, and then slide it all the way into

the chassis.

Figure 2-3 Align the New Module to the Rail on Both Sides

Step 4. Tighten the screws on both sides to secure the newly installed module to the chassis.

Figure 2-4 Tighten the Module Screws on Both Sides

2.2 Removing a Previously Installed Module

To remove or replace an installed module, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Use a slot head screwdriver to unscrew both puller screws from the right-most module (installed

from the dealer).

Figure 2-5 Remove Puller Screws from the Module

Step 2. Use the just-removed puller screws and screw them to both sides of the module to be removed.

Step 3. Remove the two screws securing the module to the chassis.

Figure 2-6 Remove the Two Module Screws

Step 4. Grasp both left and right puller screws and pull the module away from the chassis. Step 5. Install another module (or a back plate cover) to the chassis and tighten both screws.

In order to ensure the optimum mouse control speed when using your Sequoia UHD, the following are strongly recommended:

1. The computer’s output resolution for 1080p should be set at 30Hz as well as for 4K at 30Hz.

2. The default Mouse setup (pointer speed) found in the right-click menu item System is 3. Try changing the

value if so desired. See chapter 4 for details.

3. Lastly, try adjusting the value of your Windows operating system > Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer

Options > Motion (Select a pointer speed).

DO NOT place any object on the front and side panels of the Sequoia UHD. Doing so may impair its internal components and/or its heat dissipation.

2.3 Getting the Sequoia UHD Ready

To control your Sequoia UHD directly, connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB type A ports on its rear panel.

The names Local CH-2, Local CH-3 and Local CH-4 will be automatically assigned to these.

Step 1. Connect the other end of a standard CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable coming from the KVMoIP

(Ethernet) port to the Ethernet port of the gigabit IGMP switch. The distance between the two

devices can be up to 100 meters. Step 2. Right-click the entry for this newly added Pacific X-IPTR in the IP RX List table and click to

select Rename. Or, double-click the name itself and edit it. Step 3. Replace the name to help you identify this particular RX.

Configuring the Pacific X-IPRW

Step 1. Connect the other end of a standard CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable coming from the KVMoIP1

(Ethernet) port to the Ethernet port of the gigabit IGMP switch. The distance between the two

devices can be up to 100 meters. Step 2. Right-click the entry for this newly added Pacific X-IPRW in the IP RX List table and click to

select Rename. Or, double-click the name itself and edit it. Step 3. Replace the name to help you identify this particular RX.

Configuring the Sequoia UHD/T

Step 1. Connect the other end of a standard CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable coming from the SUHD-MB/IPT

IP (Ethernet) port to the Ethernet port of the gigabit IGMP switch. The distance between the two

devices can be up to 100 meters. This allows you to access the Sequoia UHD right-click menu items from the Pacific X-IPRW. Step 2. Connect the other end of a standard CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable coming from the SUHD-MB/IPT

KVMoIP (Ethernet) port to the Ethernet port of the gigabit IGMP switch. The distance between

the two devices can be up to 100 meters. Step 3. Right-click the entry for Sequoia UHD/T in the IP TX List table and click to select Rename. Or,

double-click the name itself and edit it. Step 4. Replace the name to help you identify this particular TX. Step 5. Change the channel number (0 ~ 9999) as this will serve as a reference when pairing with a RX. Step 6. Connect the other end of a standard CAT-5e/6 Ethernet cable coming from the left SUHD-IP

VIDEO 1 KVMoIP (Ethernet) port to the Ethernet port of the gigabit IGMP switch. The distance

between the two devices can be up to 100 meters.

Step 7. Perform step 6 for RXs associated with the left SUHD-IP VIDEO 2 KVMoIP (Ethernet) port as

well as for the right SUHD-IP VIDEO 1/2 KVMoIP (Ethernet) ports.

Upon changing the existing routes, the EDID of each display device will be re-assessed and information updated to the respective source (connected to TX).

Turning the RX EDID Read "Off" will help prevent display blinking during video routing.

When a remote source (i.e. TX1) that was routed (paired) to an RX window in Sequoia UHD (i.e. Image 1) is routed to a second RX (i.e. Pacific X-IPTR), and that Pacific X-IPTR acquires keyboard and mouse control

(by pressing the LINK ON/OFF button for five seconds), will cause the Sequoia UHD's "Surfer" feature when

mouse travel enters Image 1's window to be disabled.

Routing TX to RX

To assign TX and RX routing (or pairing), the following methods can be used:

Method 1. On the IP TX / RX List tables, use the mouse to drag a TX on top of an RX. Channel ID value

for RX will then follow the Channel ID value of TX. Or,

Method 2. Click to highlight (select) a TX, then press Ctrl + C hotkey, and then click to highlight (select)

a RX, then press Ctrl + V hotkey. To assign a TX to multiple RXs, press Ctrl prior to clicking each RX and then press Ctrl + V hotkey. Channel ID value for multiple RXs will then follow the Channel ID value of TX. Or,

Method 3. Right-click a TX and click Set TX channel in the menu. Copy the RX Channel ID value that

you wish to assign pairing. (You can also double-click the channel number and edit it directly.) Or,

Method 4. On the IP TX List table, use the mouse to drag a TX on to a window.

EDID Read

Right-click a RX in the IP RX List table and click EDID Read to toggle automatic detection of EDID from the display device(s). Default is "On".

Figure 2-20 “EDID Read” Setting

Scenario 1. Upon switching a signal to a display device connected to RX, the preferred EDID of that

display device will be detected and information updated to the respective source (connected to TX). Source device will then configure its output based on obtained EDID.

Scenario 2. When routing a signal to multiple display devices routed from the same TX, Sequoia UHD

will assess the preferred EDID of each display device and update the information to the respective source (connected to TX). Source device will then configure its output based on the assessed EDID and output at the optimum format supported by all the displays.

 Off

The EDID of the connected display device (connected to RX) will no longer be detected. The source device (connected to TX) will configure its output based on the latest obtained EDID during which RX EDID Read was on.

Sequoia UHD “Surfer” Mode Limitation

In summary: Sequoia UHD only allows a dedicated TX pairing (routing) to each of its four RXs. When any of the TX should also be paired (routed) to another RX other than Sequoia UHD, and that RX should acquire keyboard and mouse control, when mouse travel in Sequoia UHD's Remote operation mode (in "Surfer" mode) enters the window with shared TX pairing, "Surfer" mode will be automatically disabled.

To re-enable "Surfer" mode in Sequoia UHD's Remote operation mode, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Double-click the mouse scroll button or press Pause/Break hot-key to exit Remote operation

mode and return to Host operation mode in Sequoia UHD. Step 2. Route (pair) any other remote source (i.e. TX6) to the Image 1 window so that only one pairing of

TX to Pacific X-IPTR window remains. Step 3. Double-click any of the quad windows in Sequoia UHD to enter Remote operation mode.

Notice that the "Surfer" feature is now functioning in all four "Image" windows.

DO NOT place any object on the front and side panels of the Sequoia UHD. Doing so may impair its internal components and/or its heat dissipation.

Method 4. On the IP TX List table, use the mouse to drag a TX on to a window.

Upon re-connecting a keyboard or mouse, the Host cursor may disappear. Move the mouse to allow it to re-appear.

3. Basic Operations

The Sequoia UHD always operates in one of its two operating modes: Host and Remote mode. Users are allowed to freely switch between these two modes anytime during the operation for different uses. This chapter discusses these operating modes, their functions, and hot-keys in detail.

Host Mode

On the multiview display: When Sequoia UHD is in Host mode, the Host cursor appears on the display upon connecting a mouse device to the Sequoia UHD’s K/M USB type A ports. The cursor will be controlled by this locally connected mouse. Host mode provides a monitoring solution for the incoming computer/video signals. Users can use the Host cursor to select and adjust window size, position, and display layout directly through the on-screen interface. Other features such as the mouse right-click menu and the auto-hide menu are features of this mode to enhance ease of control and operation and are discussed in detail in chapter 4 and Appendix C.

On the second display: Control the computer as you regularly would through the corresponding window on the display without the need for the pop-up selections, right-click menu or auto-hide menu.

In summary: As long as you are in Host mode, upon moving the Host cursor to the left or right edge of the multiview display or second monitor will cause the Host cursor to jump to the second monitor or multiview display and vice versa.

Remote Mode

On the multiview display with “Surfer” feature: When Sequoia UHD enters Remote mode, the Host cursor disappears, and the “Surfer” feature is enabled. Notice that the window’s border will turn “yellow”, this signifies that your Sequoia UHD is now in Remote mode with “Surfer” function. Entering Remote mode, your Sequoia UHD transfer keyboard and mouse control to the selected computer system. You can then control the computer as you regularly would within the window on the display. Your Sequoia UHD can only enter Remote mode to take control of a computer when the correct USB type B port (USB IN 1 ~ 4) on your Sequoia UHD's rear panel is properly connected to the USB type A port of that computer (using a standard USB A/B cable). In addition, only windows corresponding to computer systems (as opposed to pure video systems) can be accessed through Remote mode.

On the second display: Control the computer as you regularly would through the corresponding window on the display without the need for the pop-up selections, right-click menu or auto-hide menu.

In summary: Whether you are in the multiview display’s Remote mode with “Surfer” function or Host mode, upon moving the cursor away from the multiview monitor to the second monitor with full screen display, the system basically switches the mouse to Remote mode automatically.

Tips on Navigating the Sequoia UHD:

 A maximum of four plus one computers can be connected to a single Sequoia UHD. The Sequoia

UHD puts the images of four computers onto four windows and simultaneously displays them on the monitor. Instant switching of inputs through the user interface is supported; thus, any of the four plus one computers can be monitored and controlled on the dual displays.

When Sequoia UHD detects that a particular computer’s USB port is not connected, the Enter remote mode

pop-up icon on the corresponding window will be grayed-out.

Function

Window resizing

Drag any of the four corners or edges of a window to a desired size

Window repositioning

Drag a window to a desired position

 When Host mode is active, use the mouse connected to your Sequoia UHD to resize and

reposition windows on the display.

 To switch from Host mode to Remote mode, move the Host cursor to the top-right corner of the

targeted window and then click the Enter remote mode icon (or double-click your mouse's left button any area within that window).

 When entering Remote mode (“Surfer” feature is automatically active), your Sequoia UHD

automatically transfers its keyboard and mouse control to the selected computer. Use the keyboard and mouse to control that computer as you regularly would.

 To switch back to Host mode, use the keyboard Pause/Break hot-key, or double-click the mouse

scroll button. The Sequoia UHD will return to Host mode and the Host cursor will reappear.

3.1 Host Mode

In Host mode, users can monitor images of the connected computers and adjust four windows at a time using the provided selections and menu. Basic operations allowed in Host mode are mentioned below.

3.1.1 Pop-up Selections

Upon moving the Host cursor to the top-right corner of a window, the following pop-up selections will appear:

 Swap: enable a window to switch its position with the other window



Enter Remote mode: enter Remote operation mode and control the computer

corresponding to the window

 Full screen: set a window to full screen  Restore: return from a full-screen view to previous layout  HDMI audio: embedded audio output in HDMI signal is enabled  HDMI audio: embedded audio output in HDMI signal is disabled

 Headphone: audio output via headphone is enabled  Headphone: audio output via headphone is disabled

Scenario 2: When routing a signal to multiple display devices routed from the same TX, Sequoia UHD will assess the preferred EDID of each display device and update the information to the respective source (connected to TX). Source device will then configure its output based on the assessed EDID and output at the optimum format supported by all the displays.

Note: Upon changing the existing routes, Sequoia UHD will re-assess the EDID of each display device and update the information to the respective source (connected to TX).

 Off The EDID of the connected display device (connected to RX) will no

longer be detected. The source device (connected to TX) will configure its output based on the latest obtained EDID during which RX EDID read was on.

Window Assign works in conjunction with the right-click menu item Label > Display IP UMD (must be set On or All on). It allows you to assign the TX name to be displayed on each of the four windows corresponding to your Sequoia UHD’s SUHD-MB or SUHD-MB/IPT HDMI IN 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 ports routed from each of the two/four SUHD-IP HDMI OUT ports.

Note: Since each SUHD-IP HDMI OUT port can only be routed to one SUHD-MB or SUHD-MB/IPT HDMI IN 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 port, then your choice of Window 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 would be unique.

Clicking Firmware upgrade allows you to update the firmware of Pacific X-IPTR / X-IPr / X-IPRW / X-IPRG detected by the Sequoia UHD.

Network

Select Network to set up the network connection. The factory default IP address is: 192.168.0.5. The Network settings must be manually entered. This would be required for a network that uses fixed IP addresses. Upon completing Network adjustment, locate OK on the bottom and click it. This will apply the network setting to Sequoia UHD.

Note: The MAC address is a fixed address corresponding to the network interface chip in your Sequoia UHD. The DHCP check box (if toggled on) enables automatic assignment of an IP address to your Sequoia UHD; you can choose to manually input an address or use the factory-default one (192.168.0.5) for the IP address.

Note: The IP address must be changed for multiple Sequoia UHD setup. The Subnet mask sets the number of IP addresses available in your local area network; in other words, the number of remote computers supported for remote monitoring. Make sure to press OK when done setting them. Set the time server’s web address by entering the DNS 1 (preferred DNS) to connect. Also, set the time server’s web address by entering the DNS 2 (alternated DNS) to connect.

SNMP is a protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices, in this case the Sequoia UHD. The SNMP server fields allow you to Enable it, specify the server’s IP address and port (server pertains to the computer where operating information regarding Sequoia UHD will be sent). The server should have the necessary application installed to gather data using the SNMP protocol.

Aside from SNMP, Syslog is another system log management tool with its own logging server software to help the administrator filter and focus on operating information messages regarding Sequoia UHD. The Syslog server fields allow you to Enable it and specify the server’s IP address.

5.1 Basic Video Wall Management Setup

Upon clicking Video wall management, the following page appears.

Figure 5-1 “Video Wall Management” Screen Components

Video wall design area

Add/remove/move windows and change its size in this area. A 2×3 wall display is comprised of a 2×2 (maximum of four windows) plus a 2×1 wall (maximum of four windows) for a maximum of eight windows. A 1×1 wall display is comprised of maximum six 1×1 walls. A 3×4 wall display is comprised of two 2×2 (maximum of eight windows) plus two 1×2 wall (maximum of eight windows) for a maximum of 16 windows.

Note:

1. For a 2×3 wall display, a window that straddles both 2×2 and 2×1 wall will be counted as one window for each wall. For a 3×4 wall display, a window that straddles both 2×2 and 2×2 wall; or both 1×2 and 1×2 wall; or both 2×2 and 1×2 wall will be counted as one window for each wall.

2. Adding a fifth window on either wall will cause the first window created or, from out of the four windows, the first window that your mouse cursor has clicked will become hidden from view by the system. But upon removing the newly added window, system will cause the hidden window to reappear on the same position/size prior to its being hidden.

3. An image cannot straddle two 1×1 windows (cannot go beyond its border).

User-defined

preset 1/2/3, Save preset, Load preset, Delete preset, Close, Save, Take, and Genlock buttons

User-defined preset 1/2/3 = each represents a saved preset. A preset is a file that contains user-designed window layout for a wall configuration. Users can have multiple presets stored in the Sequoia UHD for future references, but only the latest three presets saved can be loaded from these three buttons as shortcuts (only presets saved by using the Save preset button). When the number of presets reaches or exceeds three, any new preset saved will replace the old one (in the order of preset 1, 2, and 3).

Save preset = saves to Sequoia UHD memory the configured window layout for future recall.

Load preset = select from a list of previously saved preset(s) to be loaded as the window layout.

Delete preset = select a previously saved preset to be removed from memory.

Close = exit the Video wall management page. Save = saves the Video wall management page’s configuration into

Sequoia UHD for automatic recall of settings upon its next power on.

Take = to confirm and execute the video wall’s switching/routing action. Genlock = allows the video output of one source (coming from the REF

OUT port of Sequoia UHD 1), or a specific reference signal from a

signal generator, to be used to synchronize another source(s) together

(to REF IN port of Sequoia UHD 2). The aim in video applications is to ensure the coincidence of signals in time at a combining or switching point. When video sources are synchronized in this way, they are said to be generator-locked, or genlocked.

Table 5-1 Video Wall Management Page Components

To create and set a 1×1 or 2×3 or 3×4 wall display, perform the following steps:

Step 1. On the video wall connection diagram area, right-click anywhere and then click Add.

Set Genlock Source

Except for a 1×1 wall (because an image cannot straddle two 1×1 windows (cannot go beyond its border)), all other wall configuration can set the genlock source to allow the video output of one source (coming from the REF OUT port of Sequoia UHD 1), or a specific reference signal from a signal generator, to be used to synchronize another source(s) together (to REF IN port of Sequoia UHD 2); and so forth. The aim in video applications is to ensure the coincidence of signals in time at a combining or switching point. When video sources are synchronized in this way, they are said to be generator-locked, or genlocked.

To set the genlock source:  Designate a Sequoia UHD to be the reference signal (i.e. Sequoia UHD with IP address:

192.168.0.185). Make sure that the BNC cable is connected to the REF OUT port.

 Connect the other end of the BNC cable to the REF IN port of the Sequoia UHD with IP

address: 192.168.0.186.

 Right-click this Sequoia UHD (IP address: 192.168.0.185) and select (click) Genlock

source. Notice that a checkmark appears signifying that it has been enabled. The text color

for this particular branch of Sequoia UHD changes to “green” signifying that this is the genlock source device.

 Click the Genlock button (on the lower right). Notice on your wall display that the monitors

connected to the Sequoia UHD as genlock source will flicker and then stabilize. Then the wall display that the monitors connect to the next Sequoia UHD will flicker and then stabilize. This phenomenon can be observed when additional Sequoia UHD is daisy-chained in this manner.

This concludes setting the genlock source.

Figure 5-24 Drag the TX Snapshot to the Blank Window in the 2×1 Wall Template

Step 8. Before adding another new window, move aside (drag-and-drop) the first window so as not to

cause the new window to cover-up the first window. Every new window will originate on the upper left corner of each wall.

Figure 5-25 Adding a Second Window to the 1×1 Wall Template

Figure 5-26 Adding a Second Window to the 2×2 Wall Template

Figure 5-27 Adding a Second Window to the 2×1 Wall Template

1. Adding a fifth window to a display of the 1×1 wall is not allowed.

2. A window that straddles both 2×2 and 2×1 walls (as well as a window that straddles both 2×2 and 1×2 walls) will be counted as one window for each wall.

3. Adding a fifth window on either 2×2 and 2×1 walls and upon clicking the Take button may cause any of the following to occur: a. To cause the first window created to be hidden from view, or b. To cause the first window that your mouse cursor has clicked out of the other three windows (not necessarily the first window created) to become hidden from view. But upon removing the newly added window and clicking the Take button, system will cause the hidden window to reappear on the same position/size prior to its being hidden.

Continue to add / move (by clicking a window and without letting go of the mouse button to drag

it to its new location before letting go) / change window size (by clicking and dragging on any of the four sides of a window) in this area. Each display in the 1×1 wall can contain a maximum of four windows for a total of 24 windows. The 2×2 wall can contain a maximum of four windows and the 2×1 wall can also contain a maximum of four windows for a total of eight windows in the combined 2×3 wall. Each of the two 2×2 wall can contain a maximum of four windows and each of the two 1×2 wall can also contain a maximum of four windows for a total of 16 windows in the combined 3×4 wall.

Figure 5-28 Right-click Menu for a Window in a Wall Display

1. Keep aspect ratio > All off, and upon adding a new window, the new window’s default setting will still be On.

2. Keep aspect ratio > On, when dragging the window’s side to change its size and after lifting the left mouse button, please wait awhile for system to recalculate the aspect ratio of the window based on its width.

3. Double-clicking a window (window must not straddle two monitors) will cause it to become full screen mode (1080p) on the monitor that it currently occupies. If the window has Keep aspect ratio > On setting prior to becoming full screen mode, system will automatically change its setting to become Off.

4. Double-clicking a window that straddles two monitors will not have any effect.

Upon right-clicking a window in the wall display, the following commands are available: √ Remove window – removes a selected window from the wall. √ Remove all windows – removes all windows from the wall display. √ Full screen – transforms the selected window to full screen view (occupies the whole wall or

a whole display in the 1×1 wall).

√ Lock – toggles between locking/unlocking a selected window’s position and size (with/without

checkmark).

√ Keep aspect ratio – confines a/all window(s) to a fixed width-to-height ratio; a resized

window will also follow this aspect ratio. By default, the aspect ratio of a window is set to match that of its corresponding video source. On – default.

√ Fine tune window position and size – upon clicking this, the following window appears:

Figure 5-29 Fine Tune Window Position and Size

1. The smallest window size for any video wall configuration = 960×540. This means that if you are to set the Width of a window to be lower than 960 then system will automatically change it to 960. Likewise, if you are to set the Height of a window to be lower than 540 then system will automatically change it to 540.

2. Any adjustment for Width and Height would take priority over the values you could set for Horizontal position and Vertical position. For example, if you are to set the Width as 1920 and the Horizontal position as 1920 in a video wall display that has a maximum horizontal resolution of 3840, then it is within the allowed valued because 1920 + 1920 = 3840. But if you are to set the Width as 1920 and Horizontal position as 1921, then system will auto-correct your Horizontal position to be 1920 upon clicking the Apply button.

3. Freely re-position the Fine tune window position and size window so that upon clicking Apply the effects of your adjustment can be seen immediately. Click OK only when you are satisfied with your adjustment and leave this window.

Horizontal position – allows you to set the window’s starting horizontal position (0 ~ x)

For a 1×1 video wall the maximum value (x) = 3840 – 960 = 2880. The 1×1 video wall has a set width of 3840 pixels.

For a 2×2 video wall the maximum value (x) = 3840 – 960 = 2880. The value 3840 is derived from 1920 × 2.

For a 2×3 video wall the maximum value (x) = 5760 – 960 = 4800. The value 5760 is derived from 1920 × 3.

For a 2×4 / 3×4 video wall the maximum value (x) = 7680 – 960 = 6720. The value 7680 is derived from 1920 × 4.

For a 1×2 UHD / 2×2 UHD video wall the maximum value (x) = 7680 – 960 = 6720. The value 7680 is derived from 3840 × 2.

For a 1×3 UHD / 2×3 UHD video wall the maximum value (x) = 11520 – 960 = 10560. The value 11520 is derived from 3840 × 3.

For a 2×1 UHD video wall the maximum value (x) = 3840 – 960 = 2880. The 2×1 UHD video wall has a set width of 3840 pixels.

Vertical position – allows you to set the window’s starting vertical position (0 ~ y)

For a 1×1 video wall the maximum value (y) = 2160 – 540 = 1620. The 1×1 video wall has a set height of 2160 pixels.
