AC Power
Warning! Verify that the power requirement label on your unit matches the line voltage
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
• To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
• A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.
• All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat
(variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0%
to 100% switch.
• Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s
requirement.
• All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Dipswitch Settings
A DV-Wall video display matrix may consist of up to 16 drivers or 16 individual grid sections in various
pattern configurations. Each driver must be addressed according to your configuration so that the
video displayed appears whole and intact. Two internal dipswitches (JP1 & JP2) are addressed
according to your system layout and configuration.
Sets the total width one driver will display. The width can be described in either number
of panels or pixel resolution. Possible widths include 1 to 6 panels or 16 to 96 horizontal
JP1
pixels.
Sets the starting vertical line from which this driver will begin to display video. Remember
that a matrix may consist of multiple sections across, so in order to display video
JP2
correctly you will need to set the starting address for each section handled by a driver.
JP1 Dipswitch
JP1 dipswitches have their own unique
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
addressing method. For example setting
dipswitch 3 to ON adds 32 values to the
counter while setting 11 to ON subtracts 16.

In order for video to display properly across multiple sections or drivers, each driver must be

Setup
Transmitter Card
Install the transmitter card in an available PCI slot in your computer. The transmitter card is the
interface between your PC, DV-Wall Studio software and the DV-Wall Screen. You must use the DVI
cable provided to connect from the computers DVI output to the DVI port on the transmitter card.
RJ-45 RJ-45
Aux portDVI Port
Data Out 1 & Data Out 2 connectors
The two network output ports transmit 256 rows or horizontal lines. Output 1 transmits rows/lines 1
through 256. Output 2 transmits rows/lines 257 through 512.
Aux Port
This is a standard 6-pin telephone connector. A cable is provided that connects from the 9-pin DIN
RS232 port to the Aux port on the transmitter card. This port allows control of the R variable, gray
scale, DV Wall matrix active area, and matrix lock and matrix range.
DC external power input
Data Out 2 Data Out 1
DC External Power Input
This input takes a 5V power supply. It is only used if the transmitter card will be operated eternally of
the computer.
Transmitter Card Installation
1. Turn off the computer before opening its case and
adding or removing components.
2. Insert the transmitter card into an available PCI
slot in your computer.
3. Connect out of your computer’s display card DVI
output and into the DVI input on the transmitter
card using the DVI signal cable provided.
4. Connect out of the serial RS232 (also COM port)
connector and into the 6-pin telephone connector
on the transmitter card using the RS232 signal
cable provided.
5. Plug the provided ethernet cable into the
RJ45 connector labeled OUT 1 and into a
driver’s etherbet IN connector to display rows
1 through 256.
6. If using displaying 512 row lines connect the
RS232SIGNALCABLE
OUT 2 as well to a new driver.
7. Secure all connections.
8. In order to test the system successfully it will be
necessary to address the drivers correctly. Jump
to the section in this manual on driver dipswitch
settings.
9. Once drivers are assigned, turn on the computer and test the system.
Note!
If your computer reboots or turns off abruptly; please remove the DVI cable from the transmitter card
and reboot your computer. After Windows loads reconnect the DVI cable.

Returns Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the
fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause
for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe
method to use.
Claims
Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be
reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping. Any other claim
for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage,
must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
