7. Setting the Tile Mode

Tiling Mode

In Tile Mode you can view an image in a larger scale by connecting multiple monitors.

After all the displays are installed properly to a video wall, you need set the position of each display to determine how to display the input image.

Without setting the display position, each display outputs the complete picture independently.

Once the position is set, the video source (e.g. computer) identifies the number of connected displays and transfer part of the picture to each display accordingly. The video wall then outputs one picture as a whole.

17

If you prefer to show different pictures on the displays of the video wall, you will need to have independent video source for each display.

Note: Though the video sources vary, you can still manage all displays via remote control, RS-232 commands, or LAN control in this case.

Set tiling mode in OSD

Enable

Choose to {On} or {Off} the Tiling function. If {On}, the display will apply the settings in {H monitors}, {V monitors}, {Position}, and {Frame comp.}.

The position is starting from the top left of the video wall, the number increases as it goes down or goes to the right.

Different video wall layouts and display position setup in portrait mode:

The position is starting from the bottom left of the video wall, the number increases as it goes up or goes to the right.

20

Frame Comp.

Choose to turn the frame compensation function on or off. If turned on, the display will adjust the image to compensate for the width of the display bezels in order to accurately display the image.

21

8. Other OSD Setting

Eco Mode

Set the Eco mode to Normal if you need to power ON/OFF via LAN control.

APM

Set the APM to OFF if you don’t need automatic turn-off display when no signal after a while.
