3.8 Bezel Compensation
The bezel compensation setting compensates for the gaps between monitors in the video
wall array. The bezel compensation sizes the image slightly larger than the visible screen
to make the images on adjacent monitors line-up correctly.
The bezel settings are set using the smartOSD (Section 4.1) or OSD menu (Section 4.1).

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
VWBOX-122A/133A may result in permanent damage to the
VWBOX-122A/133A and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the VWBOX-122A/133A. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the VWBOX-122A/133A, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
VWBOX-122A/133A Video Wall Controller
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the VWBOX-122A/133A, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
VWBOX-122A/133A.
5.2 Maintenance Overview
NOTE:
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Make sure to carefully
follow all the instructions in this section to diagnose any problems. If
the problem persists, email sales@iei.com.tw for help from an IEI sales
representative
To preserve the working integrity, the VWBOX-122A/133A must be properly maintained. If
components need replacement, the proper maintenance procedures must be followed to
Page 50
ensure normal operation.

Step 3: Fasten the video cable at both ends and tighten the video cable screws.Step 0:
5.3.2 No Image on Two or More Monitors
If there is no image on more than one of the panels, then repeat the steps in Section 5.3.1
for all of the monitors in the array.
5.3.3 No Image on Any Monitor
If no image displays on any monitors, repeat the steps in Section 5.3.1 for all the monitors
in the array, then try the following additional steps.
Page 51
5.3.3.1 Check Video Box Power
Make sure that the video box is powered on.
Step 1: Check the power supply is connected to the power source.

COM
DIO

GPIO
LCD
LVDS
VGA
COM refers to serial ports. Serial ports offer serial communication to
expansion devices. The serial port on a personal computer is usually a
male DB-9 connector.
The digital inputs and digital outputs are general control signals that
control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices. Data can be
read or written to the selected address to enable the DIO functions.
The Digital Video Interface standard allows analog and digital video
transmission
General purpose input/output
Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat, low-power display device that
consists of two polarizing plates with a liquid crystal panel in between.
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a dual-wire, high-speed
differential electrical signaling system commonly used to connect LCD
displays to a computer.
The Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a graphics display system developed
by IBM.

VWBOX-122A/133A Video Wall Controller
D.1 Hazardous Materials Disclosure Table for IPB Products Certified as
RoHS Compliant Under 2002/95/EC Without Mercury
The details provided in this appendix are to ensure that the product is compliant with the
Peoples Republic of China (China) RoHS standards. The table below acknowledges the
presences of small quantities of certain materials in the product, and is applicable to China
RoHS only.
A label will be placed on each product to indicate the estimated “Environmentally Friendly
Use Period” (EFUP). This is an estimate of the number of years that these substances
would “not leak out or undergo abrupt change.” This product may contain replaceable
sub-assemblies/components which have a shorter EFUP such as batteries and lamps.
These components will be separately marked.
Please refer to the table on the next page.
