harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

You may also find helpful the following booklet, prepared by the FCC: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems.” This

booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402.

VIDEO WALL PARAMETERS

The following information describes the settings, and lists the submenu options/ranges and default settings for defining your video wall

parameters:

Monitor ID: Allows the user to set an individual monitor ID for each monitor. To control a monitor or multiple monitors that are daisy-chained by

RS-232, each monitor must have a unique monitor ID. Numbers 1 to 25 are available to be used as monitor IDs. It is recommended to number

each monitor in an RS-232 daisy chain sequentially starting with number 1.

NOTES:

•

DVI input can support up to a 3 x 3 grid and loop through directly.

VGA and video input can support up to a 2 x 2 grid and loop through directly.

Video Wall: Enables or disables the video wall. Select Yes to enable the video wall. The default setting is No, which disables the video wall

feature.

DVI Indemnity: Compensates manually for image degradation caused by daisy-chaining too many monitors using DVI cables. It is recommended

that you select the On option for the 7th, 8th, and 9th monitors in a DVI daisy-chain. For monitors 1 to 6, it is recommended that you select the

default Off option.
