6.4 Video Wall App

The PC based Video Wall App provides complete control over one 

or more Video Wall Processors via Ethernet or RS-232. This software 

can scan the local network, as well as any RS-232 connections on the 

PC, for controllable units to add to the current video wall grouping. 

Commonly used video wall configurations can be quickly selected or the 

configuration can be manually set up.

In addition to video wall setup this software can also be used to configure 

the network, EDID and HDCP settings, if needed.

6.4.1 Software Operation

Please obtain the “Video Wall App” software from your authorized dealer 

and save it in a directory where you can easily find it.

Ensure that all the units you wish to control have been powered on and 

that they are all connected to the same network as your laptop/ PC. Start 

the software by double clicking on the *.exe file to start the Video Wall 

App software.

By default, when the software starts, the layout will be empty and no 

units will be connected. To add one or more physical units (with 4 displays 

per unit) to the video wall layout, click on the “Connection” button to 

open the “Connection Window”.

Note: This software is only compatible with Windows 7 or later PCs.
