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.
