INTRODUCTION
The
VW-1312 12-Display Dual-View Cascadable Modularized Videowall Processor
most cost effective, and fully real time data/video processor for multiple flat panel displays or projectors.
VW-1312 can support up to 12 DVI outputs to expand the spectrum of video wall applications. With add-on
card design concept, users can therefore to adjust the number of output ports based on different scenarios.
Meantime, with the very same chassis of VW-1312, the bandwidth of the video, the controllability of the
module, and the input complexity can be further explored to either cost down the project cost or enhance
with the new features from the new I/O cards.
Thru DVI transmission, the quality of the outcome videos is guaranteed. The output display is grained
up to 255 by 255 squares. Virtually any setups for the display layout can be possible by the provided
software. The VW-1312 allows you to manipulate two input videos, wherever positions and whatever sizes
you want for viewing. The embedded scaler converts signals from two of the input sources to match the
native resolution of monitors, flat panel displays, projectors as well as user-selectable output settings up to
WUXGA (1920x1200). The VW-1312 sends the resulting mixed video thru DVI interface to the connected
monitors/projectors based on the display layout. The layout can be readily modified to fit your applications
and optimize visual effects. Typical applications include digital signage, and broadcasting/education/
surveillance systems etc.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The VW-1312 has five inputs (HDMI, DVI, Composite, Component, VGA) 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 pick up one of the digital inputs and
one of the analog inputs, and then VW-1312 will display the mixed video on the connected 4 displays.
With an advanced de-interlacer built in, low resolution but popular video formats such as NTSC / PAL will
be improved. Figure shows the rear panel connectors for the video inputs of a VW-1312 and Table
illustrates how you can connect video devices and display to VW-1312.
