INTRODUCTION
The DVP14 Cascadable Video Wall Processor, 4-Display DualView DVI Output is a powerful most cost effective, and fully
real time data/video processor for multiple at panel displays
or projectors. With high-denition real-time DVI output, the
quality of the video wall is guaranteed. The output display
is scalable up to 255 by 255 squares.
Virtually any setup for the display layout may be possible by
the provided software. The DVP14 allows you to manipulate
two input videos, in any position and whatever sizes you want
for viewing. The embedded scaler converts signals from the
two input sources to match the native resolution of monitors,
at panel displays, and/or projectors.
Also, there are user-selectable output settings up to WUXGA
(1920x1200). The DVP14 sends the resulting mixed video thru
DVI interface to the connected monitors/projectors based on
the display layout. The layout can be readily modied to t
your applications and optimize visual effects. Typical applications include digital signage, Sport Bars, and broadcasting /
education / surveillance systems, etc.
This is a Video only processor and does not receive or output
any kind of audio.

Inputs and Outputs
● 1x DVP14
● 1x UL AC C13 power cord
● 1x VGA to component breakout cable
● 1x Composite, S-video breakout cable
● 1x DVI/VGA breakout cable
The DVP14 can use up to two inputs at one time and supports multiple input interfaces (HDMI, DVI, composite, S-Video, component, VGA (adapters
needed)) and accepts both graphics and video signals, which come from
computers and NTSC / PAL video sources respectively. There is a concept
of main channel and sub channel for this device. You can select one of the
digital inputs and one of the analog inputs, and then the DVP14 will display
the mixed video on the connected 4 displays. With an advanced de-interlace
function built in, low resolution but popular video formats such as NTSC / PAL
will be improved.
The drawing below shows the rear panel connectors for the video inputs of a
DVP14. Please see the Connection Diagram later in this manual to see how
you can connect video devices and displays to the DVP14.
