Video Wall setup procedure
For every Video Wall setup, just only three key points as below need to be clarified.
Monitor size detail, including monitor outside width (OW) and outside height (OH),
inner viewable
Width (VW) and viewable height (VH), this is for the Gap Compensation function. The
OW, OH, VW,
VH is a number or value with the unit based on every 0.1mm. For example, if the
outside width is
56.5cm, then 56.5cm = 565mm = 5650 unit.
Video Wall size, such as matrix 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4…etc, or even the rectangle 1x2,
1x3, 2x3, 2x4, 3x2,
3x4,…etc.
Page 12
Monitor Position, each monitor has its own row number and column number which
represent its “Monitor Position” in its belonging Video Wall Group. Besides, these row
and column number are started from 0, users can refer to below examples:
Example 1, 2 X 2 Video Wall setting, please follow below setting
procedures:
Here we use monitor, Acer P246HL, as our model type.
1. Open the IE of the controlling PC. If the link is well, you will find the starting
Page as below
Page 13
2. Double click any of the RX, then you can find the below chart, then click
“Video Wall Setup”
3. Mark the “Show OSD” on the bottom, then you can see the OSD number
showed on each display monitor, please be noted the OSD number is
generated at random, not in order.
Page 14
4. After then, we have to do the video wall setting one by one. There are four
monitors in a 2x2 video wall group, which are the upper‐left, upper‐right, lower
left and the lower right, user can find below structure chart:
5. We first set the upper‐left monitor: Measure the Monitor outside width (OW)
and outside height (OH), inner viewable width (VW) and viewable height (VH),
here we use monitor, model: Acer P246HL as example, the OW and OH of
P246HL are 56.5cm and 33.5cm, VW and VH of P246HL are 53.5cm and
30.0cm, then we can have the below detail:

Example 3, 2 X 4 Video Wall with 3 HDMI source setting, please
follow below setting procedures:
A 2 x 4 video wall group can be shaped with different combination, such as below
examples.
Example 1,
2X4 video wall is shaped from 1 of 2X2 video wall, and 2 of 1X2 video wall.
Example 2,
2X4 video wall is shaped from 1 of 1X4 video wall, and 2 of 1X2 video wall.
Example 3,
2X4 video wall is shaped from 2 of 1X3 video wall, and 2 of 1X1 video wall.
Example 4,
2X4 video wall is shaped from 8 of 1X1 video wall
Here we take below example 2 and show you how to set a 2X4 video wall shaped
from 1 of 1X4 video wall and 2 of 1X2 video wall. We first separate the 2X4 video wall
into its basic component.
Page 27
We now have 3 video groups: group 1, group 2, and group 3, we just set each video
group one by one. Before we begin the set up, we have to know the hardware
installation and connection please follow below hardware installation.
As below diagram showed, the video wall group 1 displays the video from HDMI
source 1, and the group 2 displays the video from source 2, and the group 3 displays
the video from source 3. The key matter is user have to turn the LINK ID to let each
Receiver’s(RX) ID number is the same as the one of the Transmitter (TX) of the
HDMI source. User just follow the rule that the LINK ID’s number must be the same
as long as they are in the same video wall group, no matter Transmitter(TX) or
Receiver(RX), just turn the “LINK ID” and push reset.
Page 28
After all the hardware is settle down, then we can begin to set up the video wall,
please follow the below procedure step by step:
1. Open the IE of the control system, and key in http://ast‐gateway0000.local/,
you will find the below picture:
Page 29
2. Double click any of the RX, and click “Video Wall Setup”
3. Mark the “Show OSD” on the bottom, then you can see the OSD number
showed on each display monitor, please be noted the OSD number is
generated at random, not in order.
4. Group 1 video wall setting: the Video Wall setting for multi-source is
proceeding group by group. Let’s start from group 1, the group one is a 1X4
video wall, we can have its structure and each monitor’s position as below
chart:
