E600 controller interface and ports

Learn about the interface and physical ports on the E600 controller.

The E600 controller behaves as two independent controllers, displaying 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 Hz with each virtual controller. The images of both DVI1 and DVI2 input sources can be displayed on the tiles simultaneously, but the inputs must be configured independently.

DVI1 corresponds to Ethernet ports 1-8, and DVI2 corresponds to Ethernet ports 9-16.
