Planning your output layout
This section describes the steps to consider if you’re setting up a Mura MPX-based display wall for the first time. We recommend you review these steps before setting up your display wall.
Setting your card order
Mura MPX-4/4, MPX-4/2, MPX-4/0,
MPX-SDI only – The DIP switches on your
Mura MPX Series output cards are used to control the order in which the GPUs of your cards are used. Setting the DIP switches is useful if you’re setting up a large display wall layout that uses multiple cards, because it enables PowerDesk software to properly lay out the outputs of your display wall and avoids you having to manually set up your multi-display layout.
For example, setting the first card to 0 means that card will be the first one used, and the first GPU of that card will be identified by PowerDesk as A .
To set the DIP switches on your cards, use the tip of a pen or pencil to flip the switch on or off. We recommend setting your card order as follows, starting with card 0 .
*
* The DIP switches use binary counting to set the card order.
Matrox Mura MPX Series – User Guide 7
Connecting your monitors
You can connect up to four (4) monitors at a time to each Mura MPX card, depending on your product. For more information on connecting your Mura product, see the “Connection setup” section for the card you want to connect.
Monitors are numbered consecutively based on which connector each is attached to. For example, the monitor attached to the connector labeled 1 on the cable is identified as 1 , the monitor attached to the connector labeled 2 on the cable is identified as 2 , and so on.
KX20 to quad-DVI cable
To facilitate the setup of your multi-display layout, we recommend connecting your monitors consecutively and arranging your monitors in pairs.
Using PowerDesk to manage your multi-display layout
In a multi-card setup using Matrox Mura MPX cards, PowerDesk assigns letters to the GPU and numbers to the outputs associated with that GPU.
In the examples below, the order of the first card (4 outputs) is set as 0 , so its GPUs are identified as
A and B . The four monitors connected to the first card are then identified as A1 , A2 , B1 , and B2 , which correspond to the monitors attached to connectors labeled respectively 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 on your KX20 to quad-DVI cable.
Using a multi-display layout with an even number of columns
This multi-display layout shows a 6 × 4 display wall. In this case, monitors are paired and follow each other sequentially from left to right (for example, A1 , A2 , B1 , B2 , C1 , C2 , and so on).
8 Matrox Mura MPX Series – User Guide
Using a multi-display layout with an uneven number of columns
This multi-display layout shows a 5 × 5 display wall. In this case, monitors are paired but don’t follow each other sequentially from left to right. In this case, the GPUs associated with the last card ( K1 , K2 ,
L1 , L2 , M1 ) are placed in the last column of the layout.
Depending on your installation and connection, you may need to manually rearrange the outputs of your multi-display layout in PowerDesk to match the physical layout of your display wall.
For more information on setting up multiple displays,
see “Setting up your multi-display layout”, page

Avertissement sur l’épilepsie
À lire avant toute utilisation d’un jeu vidéo par vous-même ou votre enfant Certaines personnes sont susceptibles de faire des crises d’épilepsie ou d’avoir des pertes de conscience à la vue de certains types de lumières clignotantes ou d’éléments fréquents dans notre environnement quotidien. Ces personnes s’exposent à des crises lorsqu’elles regardent certaines images télévisées ou qu’elles jouent à certains jeux vidéo. Ces phénomènes peuvent apparaître alors même que le sujet n’a pas d’antécédent médical ou n’a jamais été confronté à une crise d’épilepsie.
Si vous-même ou un membre de votre famille avez déjà présenté des symptômes liés à l’épilepsie (crise ou perte de conscience) en présence de stimulations lumineuses, veuillez consulter votre médecin avant toute utilisation.
Nous conseillons aux parents d’être attentifs à leurs enfants lorsqu’ils jouent avec des jeux vidéo. Si vous-même ou votre enfant présentez un des symptômes suivants: vertige, trouble de la vision, contraction des yeux ou des muscles, perte de conscience, trouble de l’orientation, mouvement involontaire ou convulsion, veuillez immédiatement cesser de jouer et consultez un médecin.
Précautions à prendre dans tous les cas pour l’utilisation d’un jeu vidéo Ne vous tenez pas trop près de l’écran.
• Jouez à bonne distance de l’écran de TV et aussi loin que le permet le cordon de raccordement. • Utilisez de préférence les jeux de vidéo sur un écran de petite taille. • Évitez de jouer si vous êtes fatigué ou si vous manquez de sommeil. • Assurez-vous que vous jouez dans une pièce bien éclairée. • En cours d’utilisation, faites des pauses de dix
à quinze minutes toutes les heures.
