Introduction
SignWall is powered by Windows 7 on a blazing fast Intel Core i5 or Core i7
processor with 4GB of RAM and a Solid State Drive (SSD). This combined with a
VisionTek AMD Radeon™ HD 5570 1GB SFF 4-Port DVI-D video processor gives
SignWall the power to display seamless full HD 1920x1200 video on 4 displays.
At the core of the SignWall system is the AMD Eyenity and and advanced AMD
video synchronization technology. This gives you the power to create a video
wall up to 4X4 that supports output locking of videoplayback. That means you
can play a single video that is powered by 4 separate processors, making it the
most stable, precise and smooth output possible.
SignWall is capable of capturing 1080p HD video in real-time and displaying it
in any conguration you choose. This feature makes it easy for someone to play
a video on the SignWall without having to capture the video ahead of time,
eliminating the need to convert video into bulky les. If you need to quickly
play a video, just connect your HDMI compatible player to the SignWall’s HDMI
capture port and play your video.
Features
• Use with up to four high-denition displays per player
• Synchronizes players to form video walls up to 4X4
• Supports a broad range of media types including video, images, PowerPoint,
Flash, PDF, Excel and more
• Capture live 1080p HDMI input and play it back in real-time
• Includes the SignWatchPro surveillance system to monitor your installation

Included EDID-Mirror-4P EDID Emulator
The EDID-Mirror is a DVI-D EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) emulator that
supports up to 4 DVI-D displays. EDID-Mirror will learn and emulate the EDID conguration
of the displays, so that the displays can be disconnected without losing their conguration.
The EDID information stores the resolution and timing information for each connected
display. The EDID mirror provides the computer with a constant EDID signal, regardless of
whether the displays are connected or not. This is particularly useful when using operating
systems, including Windows 7, that reset display congurations when the displays are
disconnected. The EDID-Mirror is a time saver that oers the freedom to switch displays
while eliminating the headache of EDID conguration.
• Learn up to 4 EDID congurations at once
• Stores EDID conguration in non-volatile
memory so that the unit may be powered
o and the conguration will not be lost
• Displays can be disconnected as needed
without losing EDID conguration
• Uses standard EDID conguration standards
• Compatible with most DVI-D displays and all
Windows versions
ABOUT EDID
EDID provides plug-and-play capability to your
displays. When you plug a display into your
computer, the EDID table in the display tells the
computer the optimal resolution to use.
