1. Introduction
This manual explains how to operate your VP-796(A)(ASV) / VP-797A(ASV) / VP-798ASV
Scaler-Switcher.
If you have any questions relating to this or any other product supplied by Kramer please visit
our web site www.kramerav.com.
1.1 System Overview
The VP-796(A)(ASV) / VP-797A(ASV) / VP-798ASV series of products feature excellent image
processing algorithms for the very best in scaling, motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film
3:2 and 2:2 pull-down correction. The new generation of Kramer products significantly outperforms
the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
In addition to full 4K processing, new and unique technology allows for seamless switching between
different inputs as fast as ¼ of a second.
VP-796(A)(ASV) / VP-797A(ASV) / VP-798ASV feature with a flexible, high performance video input
front end that allows them to accept and process a wide variety of inputs. HDMI, DVI and Display Port
video with HDCP encryption is supported, as are computer graphics inputs in SVGA analogue and
HDMI/DVI digital formats. Analogue support also includes true component video in YPbPr and RGBS
formats as well as composite (CVBS) inputs.
A high performance video decoder is utilized with 4x oversampling and 3D Y/C separation for
outstanding video image clarity. The output frame rate can lock to the input frame rate dynamically
without frame rate conversion in order to reduce system latency; or it can be set to a fixed output
frame rate, e.g. for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible. The output format can also
lock to an externally provided synchronization signal on various models (see model matrix).
3GSDI/HDSDI/SDI digital formats are supported on VP-797 and VP-798 (see model matrix below).
Outputs are available in HDMI/DVI digital formats as well as 3GSDI and HDBaseT (see model matrix
below). All outputs are active simultaneously, except in the cases where the formats are not
compatible. For example, for the PC graphic formats that are not supported by the SDI standards, the
3GSDI output will be disabled. Also note that if an HDCP encrypted signal is connected to the DP,
HDMI or DVI input, the HDMI and DVI output signals will be similarly HDCP encrypted and the 3GSDI
output will be disabled. HDCP capability can be switched off per input, so that a source can transmit
non-protected content material.
The Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) feature allows users to select a ‘region of interest’, ROI, of the input image
to fill the screen and pan and tilt within it.
The Video Wall feature allows multiple units to work synchronously and be part of a large matrix
configuration, up-to 4x4. Each unit automatically crops a section of the input video image and displays
it on the corresponding projector or screen.
All units can be operated via the front panel display and rotary knob, or through a built-in web page, or
via an API interface. The API manual is published separately and is available on our website.

VP-796A, VP-796ASV, VP-797A, VP-797ASV and VP-798ASV models include 8 stereo audio inputs and
two microphone inputs with Phantom Power. An embedded audio mixer allows mixing of the mic
inputs to any analog or digital audio signal. Units fitted with Audio include a 30W stereo audio power
amplifier allowing direct connection to loudspeakers. Separate line level outputs are also provided for
connecting to external amplifier systems.
In addition to audio, VP-796ASV, VP-797ASV and VP-798ASV supports H.264 HD Streaming Video Input
via the network port. A dedicated button on the front panel allows users to select the streaming video
input.
The VP-789ASV model provides support for LED walls. This models includes a dedicated menu allowing
users to easily and quickly define the area within the output raster where the scaled image will be
placed. This area is defined to match exactly the size of the LED wall. The image can be reduced to an
area as small as 128x96 pixels.
In system configurations where multiple units are driving large LED walls, a unique splicing menu
allows users to select the portion of the input image that each unit will process. Although the input
image will be processed by multiple units, the resulting image on the LED wall will be seamless and
whole. No motion artefacts such as tears will appear between the different LED sections, because the
outputs of all units are perfectly synchronised together. The software allows the wall to be split in
equal or unequal parts.

Output Channel
Output Format
HDMI
PCM up to 8ch, up to 24Bit, up to 192kHz sampling rate
The user can turn off the unit’s HDCP compliance to allow non-encrypted content to pass
through the unit. This is an important feature specially when using a MAC computer as the
source. The MAC will encrypt its output signal if a compliant device is seen attached to its
output regardless of the copy protection requirements of the content. By turning off HDCP,
the MAC will see a non-compliant device and therefore will not encrypt its output. When
HDCP compliance is turned off, encrypted sources will not be displayed.
4.3.5 Audio Output
Audio embedded in HDMI and SDI video streams is passed through the system and re-embedded into
the HDMI and SDI output signals.
Also, the unit features a S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output connector for monitoring audio of the HDMI
and SDI channel.
When HDMI is selected as the input channel, the HDMI EDID is read by a video source such as a Blu- Ray
Player. The unit allows the source to provide the formats shown under output formats for HDMI in the
below table. All formats are re-embedded into the HDMI output data stream, those which are not
allowed on the SDI or SPDIF output are muted on the individual channels.
Table 5: Embedded HDMI & SDI Output Audio Formats
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz,192kHz)
SDI PCM up to 8ch, up to 24Bit, 48kHz sampling rate
SPDIF PCM up to 2ch, up to 24Bit, up to 96kHz sampling rate
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz)
The unit will not pass through any Dolby Digital, MPEG2 or DTS audio formats
4.4 Analog Audio
Units supporting audio include up-to 8 analog stereo Inputs, two microphone Inputs with phantom
power and an audio mixer.
Analog stereo signals are connected to the unit via 3.5 mm jack sockets, except for the CV input that is
associated with two RCA connectors. Using the audio menu, any video input can be link with any
audio input and mixed with the mic inputs.
Audio models also include stereo audio power amplifier supporting 15W RMS loudspeaker per output
and separate stereo balanced line level audio outputs for external amplifier systems. The analog
stereo outputs are available on two phoenix connectors.

The unit supports DHCP and static modes. If DHCP is active, the unit will be assigned an IP address by
the network’s DHCP master. If the unit is set in the static mode, the user needs to set the IP address
manually. Restoring the unit to the factory default state, doesn’t affect communication settings.
Port 30000 is used.

5. Unit Control
The unit can be controlled via the front panel, a web page built-in into the unit or an API protocol
interface. The next two chapters describe the Front Panel and Web Browser control methods. The API
interface can be found in a separate document available on our web site.
6. Front Panel Control
You can enter the main menu by pressing the Menu/Sel key from the status screen. You can use the
jog wheel and Menu/Sel and Esc buttons to navigate through the different menus.
A complete diagram of the menu tree is shown in Appendix A. The audio menu tree for units fitted
with the audio option is shown in Appendix B.
Next, is a brief description of the functions and settings available from the front panel menus.
Main Menu
Under the main menu are the main sub-menus that allow user to setup and operate the unit. These
sub-menus are:
Input
Output
LED Screen Size
PIP
System
Audio
Status
Each menu includes an Exit entry to return to the previous level. Some adjustments are not applicable
to all signal types or operating modes, in which case those non-applicable functions will be greyed out
and are not accessible.
The unit is designed to have separate memories for all the settings in each section. All Input parameters
are specific to your chosen input channel and input signal type, and are not global to the unit. For
example, if you change the settings for the composite video channel, you will not affect the settings you
may have made in the DVI channel.

Page 40
Full Screen: The input image is scaled to completely fit the display area without preserving the aspect
ratio of the source. This will cause distortion but no black areas will be visible.
Crop: The input image is scaled to completely fit the display area while preserving the aspect ratio of
the source. Portions of the input image on the top/bottom or left/right will be cropped out of the output
image.
Anamorphic: The image will be treated as in crop, but it is always scaled to a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The images below provide examples how an input image 1400x1050(4:3) is scaled to an
1920x1080(16:9) output with the four available formats.

6.1.4.3 Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ)
This menu provides settings to zoom and shrink the image, pan horizontally and tilt vertically within the
image. PTZ can be switched on or off and the settings can be saved per input channel or globally, i.e. if
applied globally the same PTZ settings are applied when switching input channels or changing the input
mode. The Zoom setting allows zooming into the image or shrink it.
When Aspect Lock is set to On, vertical zoom is disabled and the horizontal zoom or shrink factor is also
used to vertically adjust the image. In this mode the aspect ratio is preserved.
When Aspect Lock is Off, horizontal and vertical scaling factors are set separately, regardless of the
input image aspect ratio.

6.2 Output
This menu contains adjustments related with the outputs of the unit.
6.2.1 Display Type
6.2.1.1 Output Mode (Resolution)
The selected output resolution should match the native resolution of the imaging device to avoid
double scaling. When you are connected to an LED display, choose a resolution that is equal or
greater than the display resolution. Then use the LED screen size adjustment to accurately scale to
the LED wall. Some low cost LED walls display artefacts when using lower resolution settings. To deal
with these artefacts it is sometimes necessary to choose a much higher resolution, and then use the
LED screen size adjustment as described above.
The 3GSDI output does not feature the PC resolutions; only 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p and 1080i/p output
modes are supported.
Settings: See the Supported format table in the Product Specification chapter of this document
Default : 1920x1080p
6.2.1.2 Frame Rate
As with the output resolution, the output frame rate should match the native frame of the imaging
device. Some frame rates may not be available depending on the selected resolution.
In auto mode the output frame rate follows the input frame rate if it supported by the output resolution.
If the input frame rate is not supported by the output resolution, then the unit determines the output
frame according to a procedure programmed in the software.
Settings: 60 Hz, 59.94 Hz, 50 Hz, 48 Hz, 25Hz, 24 Hz, 23.97, Auto
Default : 59.94Hz
6.2.1.3 I/O Lock
From this menu, the user selects the I/O lock mode of the generated output frame sync. There are 3
choices to select from: I/O Lock, Genlock or free run. The selected mode is displayed on the front LCD
panel.
6.2.1.3.1 I/O Lock = Off
If I/O Lock is set to “off” and the frame rate is a fixed value (60, 59.94...), the output sync free-runs at a
fixed rate determined by the frame rate fixed value setting. Switching between the different inputs is
clean without any artefacts.

Switching is not
NOT A VALID CONDITION
Depends on Inputs
If I/O Lock is set to “off” and the frame rate is set to “auto”, the output sync runs at the same rate as
the selected input source rate. Switching between the different inputs is clean if the rates between the
two sources are the same or close (example: 59.94Hz vs 60Hz). If the rates are not close (50Hz vs
59.94Hz) switching will not be clean and will take few seconds.
In this mode, the generated output vertical sync will deviate slightly from the input vertical refresh sync
or genlock signal, even if both rates are at the same rate. This occurs due to the frequency deviations
between the different parts that create the sync signals. So even if two frame rates are 59.94Hz, there
is a slight miniscule timing difference between the two signals. This miniscule difference, will
occasionally cause frame dropping or repetition.
6.2.1.3.2 I/O Lock = On
If I/O Lock is set to On, the output refresh rate follows the input video refresh rate. If a lock condition
cannot be achieved and the frame rate is a fixed value, then the output refresh rate determined by the
frame rate setting. If the Frame rate is set to auto, the output rate is set to 59.94Hz.
In this mode, switching between the different inputs is not clean and will take few seconds.
6.2.1.3.3 I/O Lock = Genlock
If I/O Lock is set to Genlock, the output refresh rate will follow the vertical sync of the signal
connected to the Genlock BNC connector. Genlock is achieved when the Genlock vertical sync rate
matches the vertical sync rate set in the output menu. Valid combinations are 50Hz/50Hz,
59.94Hz/59.94H and 60Hz/60Hz. If genlock is not achieved, the output frame rate refresh rate is
determined by the frame rate setting.
Setting the I/O lock mode to Genlock and the Frame rate to Auto is not a valid combination
In order to achieve clean switch between input selections, follow the locking settings described in the
table below.

If the output Frame rate is set to Auto, all types of genlock signals (e.g. NTSC & PAL, Tri-level sync)
signals are accepted. On the other hand, if a specific frame is selected, for example 59.94Hz, only a
Genlock reference signal of 59.94Hz is accepted and the unit will not lock to a 50Hz reference signal.
If the output Frame rate is set to Auto and I/O lock is off, input switching may-not be clean. Clean
switching will depend how close the frame rates of the current and next input channel are.
Settings: Off, On, Genlock (for models supporting genlock)
Default: Off (Free Run)
6.2.1.4 Frame Rate (Enable)
From this menu the user can choose the output frame rates that the unit can output. By de-selecting
certain frame rates, you can prevent the unit from outputting frame rates that cannot be accepted by
the display.
Settings: 60 Yes/No, 50 Hz Yes/No, 48 Yes/No, 30/29.97Hz Yes/No, 25 Yes/No, 24/23.98 Yes/No

6.2.1.5 Custom Modes (Resolutions)
From this menu the user can create up-to four custom output progressive or interlaced resolutions.
These resolutions are available for selection from the Display Type sub-menu under the Output menu.
These custom resolutions can also be selected for each input from the Input Conf. sub-menu under
the System menu. The custom resolutions are not available for the SDI output. This menu is only
available for the LED driving models.

6.2.2 Gamma/Colour/Crush
Native Colour Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured colour temperatures to match the
display. If this value is the same as the Colour Temp value in the (Input) Colour menu, no conversion is
performed.
Settings: 3200K, 3700K, 5500K, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K
Default : 6500K
6.2.2.1 Output Gamma
Output gamma allows to re-gamma video signals with pre-configured gamma values to match the
display. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 1.0. If they are both set to the same value,
there is no effect on the image. If you need to reduce the level of certain color in the image, select a
higher value for the input colour Temp in the Colour menu, or a lower number for the Native Colour
Temp in the Output menu.
Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1
Default : 1.0
6.2.2.2 Black Crush (LED models only)
This feature is available for models supporting LED walls. The input black level should be optimized
prior to using Black Crush and any filter settings should also be optimized first. Black Crush is not a
replacement for correct input settings, but it is available to clean up any remaining black level noise
on the signal which may be visible on very bright LED screens without reducing the peak white
brightness. This function is not the same as adjusting the overall black level.
It is recommended to use a setting between 0 and 16 and not more than 20. For most LED screens the
optimum setting for Black Crush is between 8 and 20. For particularly noisy subject material, 24 can be
used but detail loss may occur in dark areas. If too high a setting is chosen, image solarization may be
observed where dark image areas turn completely black or even change colour.
Settings: 0 to 255 in steps of 1

HDMI outputs is determined by the supported standard of the attached monitor or device when set to
DVI/HDMI.
DVI 1.0 and HDMI 1.1/1.2 devices are set at 24 bit, for HDMI 1.3 or later compliant devices it is up to 36
bit. The DVI forced selection will output video with 24 bit colour depth irrespective of the supported
standard of the attached monitor.
Settings: DVI forced, DVI/HDMI, HDMI 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit
Default : HDMI
6.2.3.2 HDCP
HDCP encryption support on the output can be switched off as is in the input. This means the unit
pretends to be non-HDCP compliant on the DVI/HDMI output port and consequently does not encrypt
data.
At the same time, HDCP is also turned off at the input ports. This allows the unit to accept non-HDCP
encrypted data. If the source however, is HDCP encrypted, then the output will be black.
Settings: On, Off
Default : On
6.2.3.3 DVI Colour Space
This menu allows users to select between the RGB and YPbPr colour spaces
Settings: RGB, YPbPr
Default: RGB
6.2.3.4 DVI Range
When set to Default CEA, the output modes have limited range, and VESA modes have full range.
Therefore, an incoming limited range mode is either passed through when the output is set to a CEA
output mode or expanded when the output is set to a VESA mode. An incoming full range mode is
either compressed when the output is set to a CEA output mode or passed through when the output
is set to a VESA mode.
If the HDMI/DVI output does not operate properly, the range can be changed manually. A limited
video range is only using the following greyscale for video information - 8 Bit System: 0x10 .. 0xEF, 10
Bit System: 0x040 .. 0x03BF, 12 Bit System: 0x100 .. 0xEFF.
Settings : Default, Limited, and Full

6.2.4 Video Wall
The Video Wall menu provides controls to set up multiple units in a multi-screen application.
Multiple screens are stitched together to provide a bigger display with higher resolution than a single
display. Each display is driven by a separate unit.
In a multi projection display the individual projections typically are chosen to overlap to give seamless
transitions. Multiple LED walls or LCD/Plasma screens do not have overlapping regions. The Blend
Width is set to zero. When using Video Wall to drive one single large screen, it is essential that all
units are I/O locked or genlocked, otherwise motion tear will be observed at the boundaries of the
image processed by each unit.
6.2.4.1 Auto Zoom
Switches on the auto zoom resizing the video image to display the assigned part of the total image.
When Auto zoom is turned on, the processor will cut and scale the portion of the picture selected by
the matrix size and position selected as described next. Autozoom should be turned off when the unit
is connected to a multi-head graphics card where the content has been split.
Settings: On/Off
Default: Off
6.2.4.2 Units Wide/Units High
The dimensions of the multi-screen display is defined with this menu. The maximum number of screen
supported is 16. This function is used in conjunction with the next function.
Settings: Units Wide: 1, 2, 3, 4 / Units High: 1, 2, 3, 4
Default: Units Wide: 1 / Units High: 1
6.2.4.3 Horizontal Pos/Vertical Pos
These setting provides the coordinates of the segment of the total image that the unit will process (cut
out and resize). This function is used in conjunction with the previous function to select the blend
regions to be provided even when auto zoom is turned off.
Settings: 1 to 4 indicating co-ordinates 1,1 to 4,4 for the maximum matrix size of 16
Default : 1,1

6.2.4.4 Bezel Width
This menu allows uses to define the bezel widths in large system configuration where multiple units
are driving different portions of the display. There are separate adjustments for each.
Settings: Left Bezel Width, Right Bezel Width, Top Bezel Width, Bottom Bezel Width
Defaults: 0,0,0,0
6.2.4.5 Wall Setup
In a system configuration where multiple units are driving different portions of a large display, each
unit is driving a different portion of the total display. If the size of the different portions of the display
are equal, the settings discussed so far in this section are sufficient to defined the area where the
output image will be displayed.
If the size of the portions are unequal, then the Advanced wall setup needs to be enabled in order to
define the area each portion occupies within the total display space. Standard mode works up to a
wall size of 4x4. Advanced mode is limited to a maximum wall size of 2x2.
Settings: Standard / Advanced

6.3 LED Screen Setup
This feature is available in VP-798ASV model. With this menu the user can define an area within the
output raster where the output scaled image will be positioned. This area should match exactly the
size of your LED wall. The image size is defined and positioned according to the right, left, top and
bottom edge settings.
The output image can be reduced to as few as 128x96 pixels. The adjustments are performed
horizontally in 4-pixel increments and vertically 1 line increment. If the source is 4K, the horizontal
increment is 8-pixels and vertically is 2 lines. A reset function is also provided to reset all parameters
to full output resolution.
In the example below, the unit is outputting a full resolution of 1920x1080, but the output image is
only present in the corner occupying an area of 1760x880. The LED processor/Sender box that
receives the signal, will only process this area (1760x880 pixels) and transmit it to the LED wall. The
rest of the 1920x1080 area will be ignored, and that is why is left black.

6.3.1 Few words about Aspect Ratio
In the example above, the aspect ratio of the input source is 1.66, but the LED wall aspect ratio is 2.
When the source and the output aspect ratios do not much, the user has three options. These options
are explained in the Picture Format section that is found under the Input/Geometry chapter of this
document.
In the example, the “Original” option was chosen maintaining the source aspect ratio. With this
option, all objects appear proportional and normal in the output image, but a portion of the source
content was disregarded. As it can be seen in the picture, a small slice of the top and the bottom of
the image has been disregarded.
Figure 4: Maintaining the Aspect Ratio Example
6.3.2 Splicing Zoom
In configurations where multiple units are driving different portions of a large LED wall, each unit
needs to be setup separately. The user needs to define the system configuration, the section of the
LED that each unit will drive and the portion of the image that it will process.
This selection switches on the splicing zoom feature to enable the resizing of the section corresponding
to the unit. When Splicing zoom is turned on, the processor will cut and scale the portion of the picture
selected by the matrix size and position selected as described next. Splicing Zoom should be turned off
when the unit is connected to a multi-head graphics card where the content has been split.

6.3.5 Splicing Setup
In a large LED walls where multiple units are driving different sections of the LED, the sections can be
equal or unequal in size. If the size of the different sections are equal, then the configuration is
standard. For standard configurations the settings discussed so far are sufficient to defined the area
where the output image will be displayed.
If the size of the sections are unequal, then the Advanced splicing setup needs to be enabled in order
to define the size of the area each section.
Standard mode works up to a wall size of 4x4. Advanced mode is limited to a maximum wall size of

6.4 PiP (Picture-in-Picture)
Users can utilize a secondary scaler to create a Picture-in-Picture (PiP)/window insert on the top of
the main output display. When PiP is enabled, the main source becomes the background image.
Sound is only available from the main source and not from the PiP source.
PiP related operations are to be done during setup and not during live operation.
The reason for this is that the Pip and main processing circuitry share timing resources,
causing the main image to glitch when the PiP parameters change
6.4.1 PiP Rules
The PiP window is generated by a secondary scaler that is not as powerful as the main 4K scaler. For
this reason, there some rules regarding the PiP implementation that are outlined below.
6.4.1.1 PiP Source
The main(background) and PiP sources cannot come from the same input channel. The input channels
are identified by the button colours on the front panel.
Input Channel 1: SDI-1*
Input Channel 2: SDI-2 *
Input Channel 3: Display Port (DP)
Input Channel 4: HDMI-1, HDM-2, Streaming Video* and HDBT*
Input Channel 5: VGA, DVI, CV, RGB/YPbPr and HDMI-3
Input Channel 6: Test Pattern and LOGO
*not available on all models
For example, if the main is a 4K source on HDMI-1, the PiP cannot be from HDMI-2, IP Video or HDBT,
but it can come from: SDI-1, SDI-2, DP, DVI, VGA, CV, RGB/YPbPr, HDMI-3, Test Pattern or LOGO.
© KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD.
Issue 2.1 January 23, 2019
59
Page 60
6.4.1.2 PiP Resolution
The maximum input resolution of the PIP source is limited to 2048x1080p. 1920x1200, 2560x1600,
3840,2160 and 4096x2160 are not valid PiP source resolutions.
6.4.1.3 PiP Banner
A banner is defined as a PiP that starts at the first left hand-side pixel and spans across the whole
width of the output image. When the Banner is selected, the width of the pip cannot be changed
because the software forces it to span across the output.
6.4.1.4 PiP Width
If the main input resolution is less than 4090x2160@60, the PIP width is limited by software to 80% of
the width of the output horizontal resolution. For example, if the output is set to 1920x1080p then
the PiP width is limited to 1576 pixels.
For input resolutions of 4090x2160@60, PIP width is limited by software to 40% of the width of the
output horizontal resolution.
These restrictions can be overridden by turning the system management setting to off, but there is a
risk of corruption to the main image if the main input is 3840x2160.
Examples of valid setups:
© KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD.
Issue 2.1 January 23, 2019
60
Page 61
6.4.1.5 PiP Area
PiP can occupy only up-to half of the total pixel area of the output space. Examples of valid setups:
6.4.1.6 PiP Position
The PiP always lies within the boundaries of the output image. The software doesn’t allow partial PiP
image.
6.4.1.7 PiP PTZ and Overscan
If the main input resolution is more than 2048x1080p , the PTZ and Overscan are disabled. Resolutions
for which the PTZ and Overscan are disabled are: 1920x1200, 2560x1600, 3840,2160 and 4096x2160.
6.4.1.8 Main Source Zoom-in
Main source Zoom-in is enabled as follows:
If the main source resolution is up-to 1920x1080p, zooming is allowed up-to 400%.
If the main source resolution from 1920x1080p to 2560x1600, zooming is allowed up-to 150%.
If the main source resolution is above 2560x1600p zooming in is disabled.
© KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD.
Issue 2.1 January 23, 2019
61
Page 62
Zooming-in occurs when the image is expanded and only a portion of it covers the whole output
display area.
6.4.1.9 PiP & LED video walls configurations
Software disables the PiP function in vertical (1xN) video and LED wall configurations. The PiP function
is enabled only in horizontal (Nx1) configurations. Please note that the PiP needs to be solely on one
screen as is shown below.
If the PiP needs to straddle two screens, an additional unit is needed upstream to compose the
whole image including the PiP. The composite image is then send to each unit that selects the
corresponding segment.
6.4.1.10 Standard & Advanced LED wall configurations
Software disables the PiP function in advanced LED wall setups. In advanced wall setups, the LED wall
is split unevenly. Only standard horizontal configurations where the LED wall is split evenly are
allowed.
Some of the restrictions can be bypassed by setting the System Management to Off.
In this case, the image may display issues such as tearing.
