SB-3403 QUICK USER GUIDE

HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM DISPLAY MODES

1. Users can create all kinds of playback modes for regular, portrait and irregular video walls with different size, resolution and bezel LCD’s

at any angle and position through inputting the coordinates of the two LCD-Top left and Top Right corners.

2. (4) LCD’s as one display unit can be cascaded without number limitations. The display panel must be at 16:9 aspect ratio. Different

aspect ratio LCD’s require customized factory settings.

3. Users can convert physical design drawings into 1920x1080 coordinates and pick up the coordinates of the Top Left and Top Right

corners in each LCD active display region, then input them to the SB-3403 through the OSD or PC tool to get the result. The original point

for the coordinate system is set at the Top Left corner as (0, 0).

4. Please note that the coordinate system (16:9) in H&V directions should have the same scaling ratio. In the below example, users can

only take horizontal direction to full scale but the vertical direction remains with the same blanking borders. Please design the “Video Wall” at the center position for more exibility. After the video wall is created, users can use the [Ratio] and [Position] functions to adjust

the aspect ratio and nal image position freely.

5. Please note that the dimensions in coordinate system should have a 16:9 ratio (382.5:215.2=16:9).

6. In the above drawing, the coordinates for TV1 and TV2 are as follows:

• TV1 coordinates for Top Left corner=(0, 586)→Top Right corner=(366, 216)

• TV2 coordinate for Top Left corner=(815, 635)→Top Right corner=(447, 286)

7. Please pay attention to the display direction of the TV.

8. Procedure to key-in coordinates into the SB-3403 via the OSD menu:

• [Video wall]→[Manual Mode]→[Mode 1~Mode 10] (select location to save settings)→select LCD [TV 1~4]→select [Top Left/Top Right]→Slide Bar to Input Coordinates→Done.

Users can use the remote control to key-in the coordinates of the images for each LCD:

• Select [Index]→[TV#]→[Top left] or [Top Right] corner→[Direction key] to input coordinates.

9. The GAlign PC tool is available to key-in the coordinates into the SB-3403 through the RS-232 connection and click [Write] to download the GAlign setting into the SB-3403. It can do H&V aspect ratio and image position shift. The [Read] function can catch existing setting values and apply them to other display modes. It is important for the application that the OSD menu can’t be seen on the screen on large video wall.

SB-3403 QUICK USER GUIDE

HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM DISPLAY MODES

10. Users can also take pictures of the LCD array and put this photo into the 1920x1080 coordinates system and collect the coordinates

for each LCD, then input the coordinates into the SB-3403. Below are the process:

a. Use Microsoft Picture Manager to trim the edges and only keep the LCD active display region.

b. The photo should be corrected without distortion. If necessary, the user can use [RealWorld Paint] freeware to correct it:

[Open le]→[Edit]→[Select All]→[Transformation]→[Perspective/Bezier Transformation] c. To view this photo le in Microsoft

Paint [Resize] the photo into 1920x1080 resolution.

d. Use the mouse to click the Top Left and Top Right corners in each LCD active display area to capture the coordinates for the display to input the coordinates into the SB-3403 through the OSD or GAlign PC tool.

e. Other software like Adobe PhotoShop can also be used to correct the distortion and catch coordinates for the photo.

f. Please see more details in the User Guide.

11. Video wall with more than (4) LCD’s with multiple SB-3403’s cascaded.

a. If the video wall is designed with more than (4) LCD’s, users need to use multiple units of the SB-3403 and have two choices:

i. Consider the whole video wall as one full HD video. Assign each SB-3403 output port to any LCD, catch the image coordinates for each LCD and input them into the SB-3403, then the user will achieve the desired video wall.

ii. If users want to have higher resolutions on the video wall, users need to split the image into several full HD sections and assign each section to a different SB-3403. Users can apply the same procedures as mentioned in the previous section to assign the image to each LCD.

b. The SB-3403 has one [Video Wall] function to allow users to split the image using the [ZOOM] menu and assign the image to each SB-3403 using the [PAN] menu. If cutting the image has some overlapped region or position shift amongst the SB-3403’s, users can use the [Overlap] menu to align the position amongst the different SB-3403’s.

c. Usually, one full HD video can be applied to a video wall up to (6)x 3.5M if the watching distance is more than 3 meters (3mm pixel pitch). If the watching distance is 2 meters, the suitable video wall size is about (4)x 2.3M (about 2mm pixel pitch).

12. Portrait Display Mode: If the display is at the portrait position, users can apply the same procedures as above to build the video wall.

Users can also rotate the video wall at 90/270 degrees and collect the coordinates to build the system to get higher input resolution and better video quality. After installation, users need to apply the 90/270 degrees rotated content or use the [Orientation] menu on the SB-

3403 to get the correct display angle.

13. Fine–tuning the image position.

a. For simple video wall arrays, users can use the remote controls [Top Left] and [Top Right] hot keys to do ne tune without seeing the OSD. The [F1] key will provide the [Shift] function to do image position shift for each LCD in H&V directions without changing the image rotation angle and size.

b. For large video walls or irregular arrays, it will be more convenient and easier to use GAlign PC tool for image position ne-tuning.

Please use the [Shift Mode] and [Real Time] function in the GAlign tool so that users can see the real time position change for easy alignment.

c. Please save the nal result in the [Prole].

14. Signal source operation issues.

a. In some cases, users may be difcult to see the operation menu of the signal source.

b. The best way to set the signal source with “Auto-Run” so that the end user can power on the signal source and the system will run automatically.

c. If no auto-run function is in the signal source, users can connect one monitor to the last SB-3403 loop out port as a monitoring device for easy video source playback operation.

d. Users can clip one empty [Index] without storing any settings to get a full screen display in all LCD’s for easy signal source operation.

e. The signal source will playback normally, the user can click the preset [Index] or [Prole] to show the desired content.

SB-3403 QUICK USER GUIDE

IMAGE LOOPING PLAYBACK AND AUTOMATIC IMAGE POSITION SHIFT FOR LCD PROTECTION

1. Users can create up to (10) playback modes and execute the looping playback with selectable time intervals and playback modes.

2. Different playback modes should come from the same input port. One of the applications that the user can display a product at different

rotation angles or zoom in/out of the product for different effects. Users can also display a series of products on the screen and PoP up

each product at different time intervals.

3. If users apply two of the same display modes in a looping playback, the switching time interval will be also double.

4. By the same concept, users can slightly shift the image at some interval to prevent burn-in marks on the LCD to extend the life time of the LCD panel. This is important for a still image displays on the LCD.

DYNAMIC ASPECT RATIO CHANGE AND POSITION SHIFT ACROSS ENTIRE VIDEO WALL

1. Users can change the entire video wall image (4 LCD’s) aspect ratio from 25% to 200% at both horizontal and vertical directions

through the OSD and save with the [Manual Mode]→[Mode].

2. This function allows users to select different modes to display the contents on the screen from different signal sources and still maintain required aspect ratio without distortion.

3. Entire video wall image positions can be shifted in H/V directions.

4. The above aspect ratio and image shift functions can be saved into the [Manual Mode]→[Mode] for looping playback so that the viewer will see dynamic switching images on the screen.

OTHER NOTICES

1. One remote control provides direct hot keys for the SB-3403 operation without needing to see the OSD.

2. The GAlign PC tool is being updated all the time. Please download the newest version from our website.

3. The Parameter Manager provides a function for users to backup or duplicate the settings from one SB-3403 to another unit. Please also download this from our website.

OUTLOOK AND MAIN FUNCTIONS

NOTE: After nishing the Dip Switch settings, Power OFF and ON the unit again to execute the new settings.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1. Each SB-3403 is equipped with IR extenders. Users can extend the cable distance up to 20M through an audio cable.

2. If the PC tool is used, the connection is made via RS-232 port. The user needs to use the USB to RS-232 conversion cable for the connection. The USB cable extender can be used for long distance control connections.

3. OSD Lock / Unlock: Press the MENU key on IR remote control for 5 seconds, the OSD function will be locked to prevent changes to the settings. Press MENU key for 5 seconds again to unlock the OSD and the user can manipulate the OSD again.

4. Box ID allows the user to control different SB-3403’s at the same time without interference.

5. The Picture menu in the OSD can only be activated while the input signal is not in the color [Preset Mode]. To select [Image Properties] →[Custom]→[Save], then the user can activate the [Picture] menu again.

6. Image Setup menu will not be activated if the input source is not from VGA.

7. Once nishing one video wall setting, users can apply the same setting value to the next project with the same conguration. The GPM

PC tool can backup the setting or install the same setting to other units.

8. If using different aspect ratio LCD’s, but not 16:9, customized factory settings are required.

9. Poor cable connection signals or cables that are too long may cause noise on the display. Re-connect or replace with a new cable to solve the problem.

10. If the video wall aspect ratio is not the same as the signal source, it will create an abnormal aspect ratio. Please select the correct EDID to set the PC output to the desired resolution. For manual display modes, users can randomly adjust the H&V aspect ratios in the

range of 0.25x to 2.0x. This allows users to display (4) image ranges onto the screen when the set ratio is 0.25x.

11. To apply different [Overlap] values under the [Video Wall] menu or [Ratio] under the [Manual Mode] menu the user can also change the aspect ratio.

12. [F1] key on the remote control can provide the image [Shift] function for each LCD. It can shift image positions in H&V directions without changing the image size and display angle.

LCD (TV) SELECTION

• Type of LCD: Any low cost 16:9 LCD or TV can be used. No need to have a matrix control feature.

• Some display modes support TV’s at the top down ip position to compensate for the bezel difference.

• Output Resolutions: The default output resolution is 1920x1080@60Hz.

• Customization is required if user uses LCD’s with different dimensions, aspect ratios and bezel sizes.

BEZEL COMPENSATION

• Bezel compensation function is built-in to the SB-3403. It is based on the LG 47”, 55” LCD and the 1.5% for conventional TV’s. Users

need to check if the [Bezel] Dip Switch should be ON or OFF in the mode list. The actual active display size in different LCD brands with the same nominal size may be different.

• Users can create custom display modes to solve the bezel and panel size difference issues.

application to become a large video wall display.

• The video wall can be up to 15x15=225 SB-3403’s maximum. If each SB3403 is connected with (4) LCD’s, then theoretically the maximum number of LCD displays can be up to 30x30=900 LCD’s from a single signal source.

PRESET [OUTPUT MODE]: Is for the selection of the pre-dened modes on the SB-3403.

• After selecting the display mode, the mode # will show up at the bottom of the OSD.

• Users can set the same display mode # with the Dip Switch to get the same display mode.

[MANUAL MODE]: The purpose for the [Manual Mode] is to let the user create any type of display mode they want.

Here is the structure and concept:

• Users can create (10) different display modes and save in the [Index 1-10].

• Each Index consists of up to (4) LCD’s [TV1]~[TV4].

• Users can input (2) parameters (Top Left and Top Right corner coordinates) to get the display location for each TV (LCD).

• Users can execute looping playback of display modes (Index) by selecting the Index and time interval through the [Loop] menu.

• Users can adjust Horizontal and Vertical aspect ratios randomly through the [Ratio] menu.

• Users can shift the image location inside the video wall horizontally and vertically through the [Shift] menu.

1. Select the custom display mode store location.

1. Under the [Manual Mode], there are (5) [Index] menus and the [Loop] menu.

2. Each [Index] represents one display mode created by the user.

3. Users can apply different input sources and resolutions without affecting the display mode settings.

SETTINGS

2. Crop image for each LCD.

1. Each [Index] has (4) LCD (TV1 ~TV4) menus for the user to assign the image location.

2. [Ratio] is to do further adjustment in the aspect ratio and position shift

on the entire display (4x LCD’s at the same time).

3. [Reset] is to reset all the settings on [TV1] ~ [TV4].

1. Inside each [TV], users need to input coordinates of the [Top Left] and [Top Right] corners to decide the image location.

2. Total of (8) coordinates required for one complete video wall with (4)

LCD’s.

3. [Shift] allows the user to do further adjustment in the H & V position of the image in each LCD without affecting the original size and display angle settings.

4. [Reset] will reset the coordinates to the default settings in the current [TV] setting.

5. Users can manually input the coordinates for the [Top Left] and [Top

Right] corners through the OSD menu direction keys.

3. Position shift in each LCD for image ne tuning.

• [F1] key in the remote control has the image [Shift] function to allow the user to shift the image position for each LCD

without changing the size and display angles. It is convenient for image position ne tuning.

• GAlign PC tool is also available to input the coordinates for (4) LCD’s (TV1~TV4). The user needs to connect to a PC with the SB-

3403 through the RS-232 port on back panel.

• After inputting the coordinates, the user can select the [Index] and click [Write] to save the settings.

• Please see more details in [GAlign PC Tool] section.

SETTINGS

4. Adjust the custom display mode aspect ratio and position.

NOTE: Users can also adjust image aspect ratio for the entire video wall [Overlap] settings. Users can easily Zoom In

(enlarge) the image by reducing the image capture range. If the user wants to increase the capture range (Zoom Out), it

depends on how many image pixels are in image borders. Sometimes, it is limited to only few lines.

Under the [Ratio] menu, users can adjust the entire image display aspect

ratio and shift the image position across the entire video wall (4 LCD’s) at

the same time.

The display aspect ratio adjust range is from 25% to 200%. The result is similar to image [Zoom In] & [Zoom Out].

1. [Ratio] Menu: (3) Options

• [Ratio]

NOTE: With the combination of aspect ratio change and position shift, users can remove the images black border or select

special regions of the image to highlight (PoP up) specic content to attract the audience.

9. [Reset]: Will rest the setting in [Ratio] and [Position] settings to default value.

10. [Loop]: Looping playback.

a. Users can create up to (5) different playback modes (Index) and looping playback under the preset time intervals. This function can be used to highlight different products from the same image content without a PC system. For instance, if one

content consists of (4) products. The user can display all products in Index one, then PoP-up product A in Index 2, product B

in Index 3, product C in Index 4 and product D in Index 5. After setting the looping playback, the user will see advertisements

for the complete image, then highlight each product on a specic LCD in sequential order.

b. Users can select the playback modes (Index) and time interval from the OSD.

c. Users can input (2) of the same Indexes to double the display interval time for this Index.

d. Please locate the looping display modes starting from Index 1. Users can only select the total number of looping playback modes starting from #1. If “3” is selected, then only Index 1-3 will be looped in.

e. (10) maximum looping playback modes available. If the user saves the same display mode in (2) locations and executes looping playback, then this display mode will have double display time intervals.

11. LCD burn-in mark protection.

Users can create different display modes at a slight position shift and apply the looping playback function to prevent from a burn-in mark on the LCD to extend it’s life. This is important for a display with still image in the content.

SETTINGS

Looping playback is only functional for [Index 1-Index 10] under [Manual Mode]. It has nothing to do with Index under the [Prole] menu.

1. Users can select the Index for the looping playback in [Loop Range].

2. If “3” is selected, then only Index 1, Index 2 and Index 3 can be selected for the looping playback.

1. The time interval to switch among different Indexes can be set by the [Loop Time].

2. The max looping time interval is 10 minutes (600 seconds)

3. Users can create a different [Index] to highlight different products from the same input source.

SETTINGS

PROCEDURES TO CREATE CUSTOM DISPLAY MODES

1. Introduction

a. Users can create all kinds of custom display modes for regular, portrait and irregular video walls with different sizes, resolutions and bezel LCD’s

at any angle and position through inputting the coordinates of the (2)

corners in each LCD-Top left and Top Right.

b. (4) LCD’s as one display unit can be cascaded without number limitations. The display panel should be at 16:9 aspect ratio. Different

aspect ratio LCD’s require factory customization.

c. PiP/PoP function is still available in the custom modes created by the user.

d. Due to some deviation among different panel brands, even using the

same size 16:9 panel, it is still necessary to check the results and ne-tune

the image position.

2. Collecting coordinates from a physical drawing.

a. Users can convert physical design drawings into 1920x1080 coordinates and pick up the coordinates at the Top Left and Top Right corners in each LCD’s active display region, then input them to the SB-3403 through the OSD or PC tool

to get the result. The original point for the coordinate system is set at the Top Left corner as (0, 0).

b. Please note that the coordinate system (16:9) in the H&V directions should have the same scaling ratio. In the above

example, users can only take the horizontal to full scale but the vertical direction remains with some blanking borders. Users can put the “Video Wall” at the center position or close to the one edge. After the video wall is created, users can use the [Ratio] and [Position] function to adjust aspect ratios and the nal image position freely.

c. In above drawing, the coordinates for TV1 and TV2 are as follows:

• TV1 coordinates for the Top Left corner=(0, 586), Top Right corner=(366, 216)

• TV2 coordinates for the Top Left corner=(815, 635), Top Right corner=(447, 286)

• Please pay attention to the display direction of the TV.

SETTINGS

3. Collecting coordinates from a photo.

Users can also take pictures of the LCD array and put this photo into the 1920x1080 coordinates system and collect the

(8) points of the coordinates for the (4) LCD’s, then input these numbers into the SB-3403. Below is the process:

• The photo should be corrected without any distortion. If distortion happens, the user can use the [RealWorld Paint]

freeware [Transformation] function to correction the image distortion, resize it to 1920x1080 (Canvas size). Enlarge the photo to meet the border in the H or V directions, then collect the Top Left and Top Right coordinates.

• Use Microsoft Picture Manager to trim the edges of the display area or directly use the [Paint] software to trim the image.

• Resize to 1920x1080 image resolution in JPG or PNG formats.

• To view this photo le in Microsoft Paint the user can mouse click to capture the coordinates.

• Adobe PhotoShop can also be used to capture the coordinates.

Example: (6) LCD video wall with (2) SB-3403’s. Users can assign any LCD to any SB-3403 output.

1. Open the photo under Paint.

3. Open [File]→[Properties] and resize the image to 1920x1080 resolution.

2. Resize the image on the edge to a 1080 pixel height or 1920 pixel width to maintain aspect ratio.

4. Select [All], then move the image to the center of the 1920x1080 coordinates.

SETTINGS

5. Click the Top Left and Top Right corners for each of the LCD’s to collect the coordinates for each LCD. Users can enlarge the display scale to get a more accurate result.

6. Use the GAlign PC tool to input the coordinates for each SB-3403.

7. Do some position ne-tuning if necessary.

4. Uploading coordinates via the remote control.

• After collecting the coordinates for all LCD’s, users can upload the coordinates into the SB-3403 though the OSD.

Example: Storing custom mode in Index 2:

• [Video wall]→[Manual Mode]→[Index 2]

• Select [TV1]→ Select [Top Left/Top Right]→ Slide bar to input Coordinates→ TV1 Done.

• Back to select [TV2]→ Select [Top Left/Top Right]→ Slide bar to input Coordinates→ TV2 Done.

• Next step is to execute the same procedures for TV3 & TV4.

• Users may have some difculty seeing the OSD to set Coordinates. The best way is to use the GAlign PC

tool to upload coordinates.

5. Uploading coordinates via the [GAlign] PC tool.

• Above is PC tool (GAlign) for users to load coordinates of each LCD through the RS-232 port. Please select [Index] and press [Write] after keying in all the coordinates. This is more convenient for users that are not able to see the OSD for manual upload. The results will be the same as manual upload via the OSD.

• Users can also set the H&V aspect ratio and position shift through the [Warp Ratio] and [Warp Position].

• GAlign can read back the settings on the screen and then be modied on the PC. This helps the users who are not

able to see the OSD for manual upload on the screen due to irregular arrangements.

• Another important application for the [Read] function is to read back one Index setting and do a slight modication, then save it to the 2nd Index. When users want to set up the image to prevent from burn-in mark on the LCD, users can use the same process to create several Indexes for looping playback.

• Users can read back the data from one of the SB-3403’s, then apply it to another SB-3403.

SETTINGS

6. Create custom modes in multiple units cascaded.

a. If the signal source is 1920x1080 or less, then take a picture or make a drawing of the complete video wall similar to

[Figure A] as shown. Assign (4) LCD’s for one SB-3403 and the rest of the LCD’s for another SB-3403. Follow the same

procedures as described in the previous section to collect the coordinates for each LCD and input them into the SB-3403 to get the display that you need. The system can still support input resolutions higher than FHD.

b. If the signal source is more than FHD and the user wants to use a higher signal input resolution, the user needs to split

the image into several sections in the FHD size to cover the LCD display range in each of the SB-3403’s. After nishing

the assignments, the user needs to do further [Video Wall] settings to split the signal source for each SB-3403 (ZOOM), assign the image location (PAN) and adjust the image positions (OVERLAP) so that the adjacent SB-3403 image can match together. All of the operations can be done via the OSD menu under [Video Wall].

Below picture shows a video wall designed with (4) SB-3403’s together with (15) LG 55” LCD modules. Users can take

pictures after the LCD installation, then to collect the two coordinates for each LCD and input the data into the SB-3403

with the GAlign PC tool. Users may need to do some position ne tuning by adjusting the coordinates due to some

distortion of the picture.

SETTINGS

7. Create custom modes in a portrait display.

If the display is at the portrait position, users can apply the same procedures as above to build the video wall. Users can

also rotate the video wall to 90/270 degrees and collect the coordinates to build the system to get a higher input resolution and better video quality. After installation, the user needs to apply the 90/270 degrees rotated content to get the correct

display angle.

8. Image position ne-tuning.

a. Please apply the video wall test pattern and check if further position adjustments are required or not. Please download them from our website.

b. For a simple video wall array, users can use the OSD to change the Top Left and Top Right coordinates to do ne

tuning. For large video walls or irregular arrays, users may not be able to see the OSD. It will be more convenient and easier to use the GAlign PC tool for image position ne-tuning. Please apply the [Real Time] mode in the GAlign tool so that the user can see the real time position change for easy alignment.

c. Users can use the remote control to access the Top Left/Top Right menus for each LCD and adjust the image position

even without seeing the OSD menu.

d. Please gure out the relation between the (4) corners on the screen with 16:9 aspect ratio. If one corner is xed, and

the user wants to change the position of the second corner, the image position and size will be also change to show the

new image in 16:9 aspect ratio.

e. OSD [Position] next to the [Top Right] coordinate input menu can adjust the image position for each LCD in the H&V

directions without changing the rotation angle and size of the image. It is convenient for position ne-tuning adjustment.

f. Users need to save the settings into the [Option]→[Settings]→[Prole]→[Save]→[Index].

9. Unable to see the signal source operation menu.

a. In some cases, it may be difcult for the user to see the operation menu of a signal source.

b. The best way is to set the video player to “Auto-Run” so that end user can power on the signal source and automatically

playback. The SB-3403 can auto power on/off the unit according to the input signal detection.

c. If there is no auto-run function in the video player, the user can connect one monitor to the last SB-3403 loopout port as a monitoring device for easy video source playback operation.

d. If users can see the OSD menu, users can select a different [Index] or to select a different display mode under the [Video Wall]→[Output Mode] menu to display full screen content on each LCD. After setting the video source, then turn back to the required Index.

e. Users can also set the input Dip Switch manually and turn off/on the system again to get (4) independent full screen

displays for the user to do further signal source operation.

f. The signal source will now playback normally. Users can recall the Prole Index with the [Prole] shortcut key on the remote control to get the nal result.

SETTINGS

ZOOM (SPLIT SPLIT)

Example A: 3x1 SB-3403 Horizontal Cascade:

Example B: In a 3x3 SB-3403 Cascade:

• The SB-3403 is designed to use (4) LCD’s as one Display Unit.

• The Zoom function is to split the source image content into the different

Display Units with multiple SB-3403 cascading applications.

• Users can set both the Horizontal and Vertical Zoom value based on the array of the Display Units. In the below example, each number means one

Display Unit (4 LCD’s) and also means one SB-3403.

• Horizontal Zoom=3

• Vertical zoom=1

• Horizontal Zoom=3

• Vertical Zoom=3

PAN (LOCATION SELECTION)

Example A: In a 3x3 SB-3403 Cascade Application:

• For No. 3 SB-3403: Horizontal Pan=3, Vertical Pan=1

• For No. 6 SB-3403: Horizontal Pan=3, Vertical Pan=2

• [Pan] is to assign the split image location for each Display Unit.

• Horizontal value is calculated from the LH to RH direction and Vertical value is calculated from top to bottom.

• Users need to set the H & V [Pan] value to assign the image location for each SB-3403 to build a large video wall display

SETTINGS

OVERLAP (BEZEL COMPENSATION AND POSITION SHIFT)

• [Overlap] is to align the location of each Display Unit (SB-3403).

• Users can adjust the image location in the H&V position up to +_900 pixels.

• Through the [Overlap] adjustment, users can align each Display Unit into

the right position on the video wall cascaded with multiple SB-3403.

NOTE: The [Overlap] value will change the image capture area and scaling factor. In multiple SB-3403 cascade applications, the [Overlap] value in each SB-3403 should be the same so that all images have the same scaling factor. Users can use the [Overlap]

adjustment to change the aspect ratio in the video wall image as well.

Example for (2) SB-3403 cascade:

Overlapping pixels for the Zone A (Display Unit A) & B (Display Unit B) should be the same. Users can set the [Zoom] & [Pan], open the [Overlap] menu and select the [RH Edge] for Zone A & [LH Edge] for Zone B, then increase the [Overlap] value gradually in

both Zone A & Zone B. Users will see (2) images from both the SB-3403 coming closer until the image edges match together.

[Frame Lock] will ensure the input and output frame rate synchronize together. This is mainly for multiple SB-3403 applications. If [Frame Lock] is disabled, the system will be in [Free Run] mode and will keep

continuous output timing. This will provide quicker input source or input

timing changes for the following conditions:

• Input signals should have the same refresh rate (i.e. 60Hz)

• No HDCP compliant signal.

• It is possible to see frame tear artifact if [Frame lock] is turned off.

SETTINGS

3. [BOX ID]

4. [PROFILE] SETTING

[Box ID] is the identication # in each SB-3403 for individual RS-232 or

IR remote control.

• The SB-3403 ID # are from 1-99.

• After settting the Box ID, the user can control the SB-3403 individually

via the IR remote control, RS-232 & Ethernet.

• IR control ID # is from 0-9 only.

• [Prole] is to save and load the user settings.

• If the settings saved in [Prole] are conicting with the Dip Switch settings, the Dip Switch setting will be executed. If the user wants to show the [Prole] settings when turning on the system, please set the

[Main Input] to the off (down) position.

(5) Indexes can be chosen to save the SB-3403 settings and recalled with

the IR remote control or RS-232 through the [Load] menu under [Prole].

Application Example: When cascading with (2) SB-3403’s, users can set below display patterns:

1. To show the cascaded images with a single content across whole video wall.

2. To show (2) side by side contents across whole video wall.

3. To show (1) PiP content as a cascaded image.

4. To show (2) PiP contents as a cascaded image.

Users can save these different display patterns on the SB-3403 and recall them with the RS-232 or remote control.

PLEASE NOTE:

• When executing the system reset, the Prole settings will remain the same without change.

• If the settings on the Dip Switches on the front panel are different from the settings in the [Prole], the Dip Switch settings

will have the 1st priority.

For Example: If your Dip Switch is selecting Display mode # 02 and you select mode #05 via the OSD. Once you power

OFF/ON the system again, it will show mode #02 but not mode #05. The same issue will happen in the PiP/PoP settings, if you select a position and size for the PiP image with the OSD menu, once you power OFF/ON the system, it will follow the setting on the Dip Switch but not the OSD. You need to load the prole to get new the OSD settings.

Example of a low cost RS-232 controller.

[EDID] setting

Selective EDID settings are available on the SB-3403.

a. The SB-3403 can support a large range of input signal timings—from SVGA up to 4K2K. In order to get the best video performance, users need to select different input signal resolutions.

b. Different PC display cards have different settings and behaviors. Many users may not be able to establish the correct settings.

c. High end media players or servers can support a large range of outputs—from 720p to 4K2K. If there is not an EDID selection function, only one default EDID can be selected by the media player. The system may not show the best video wall output quality.

d. Different display modes may show different nal image aspect ratios. Users can utilize different EDID settings to change

the input signal timing and get different output aspect ratios.

• Users can save up to (5) settings into the [Prole].

• Users can connect this RS-232 controller to each SB-3403 through the RS-232

cable in parallel.

• Click the Prole button in the RS-232 controller to power on/off the system or select the display Prole.

If a separate RS-232 control is required, users need to set a different [Box ID] for each SB-3403 and put the ID # into the RS-232 command.

• Activate EDID Setting Menu: [Options]→[Setting]→[EDID]

• Use the IR remote control to select the desired EDID.

• After selecting the EDID, the PC or media will automatically change the

output timing settings.

• Press the [INFO] key to check if the input and output timings are set correctly.

SETTINGS

Users can also select the EDID manually. The range will be from 1024x768 to 3840x2160. Based on the VESA standards

the Horizontal resolution is in a step of (8) pixels and the vertical resolution in (2) pixels. After creating the EDID, the PC or

laptop may still not be able to output the required timings due to hardware limitations or driver issues. In some cases, users also need to do some manual selection of the output resolutions in the display output settings.

• In very rare cases, some PCs may not follow the same EDID settings from the SB-3403 and show different results. If this happens, please open the PC resolution settings window and select the desired output resolution from the PC.

• Users can choose the PC output resolution up to the maximum resolution set by the EDID on the SB-3403.

• If the users want to a create custom output resolution on the PC, please select Reduced Blanking timing in the high resolution output to reduce the output clock for easy high speed data connection.

• After the user creates a custom output resolution on the PC, go back to the Resolution Selection Window on the PC to select the desired output timing.

NOTE: Please open the SB-3403 2-3 seconds before opening the signal source so that signal source can detect the EDID settings on the SB-3403 and send out the right timing.
