INTRODUCTION

To create a four-screen 2x2 video wall with four HD video inputs, the 4K-Wall video wall controller provides a truly simple plug-and-play hardware solution. With four inputs and four outputs, users can arrange their content in numerous ways, providing unique functionality by combining the abilities of a video wall hardware controller and a 4x4 HDMI port Matrix. The 4K-Wall is HDCP compliant. Users can stretch one large image over four screens, send an input to each screen, send four images to each screen or create a customizable Picture-in-Picture display. Better still, there troller unit itself. There ’ ’ s no software re quired, as all content management options are effortlessly controlled via the 4K-Wall video wall con s no need for additional drivers. Just connect the HD inputs and HD screens to the controller and it ’ s ready to go.

CONTROL VIA ETHERNET (TCP/IP)

4K-Wall TCP/IP control is a feature that allows mode switching and other configurations to be con trolled remotely via HTTP or TELNET. Manage the switching functions of your 4x4 matrix with ease from anywhere in the world. You can save input/output configuration presets for easy access. TELNET access provides transparent command control of your 4K-Wall, perfect for use with auto mated third-party control software. For more information, visit www.smartavi.com

. Start by downloading our software that can detect the IP address for the 4K Wall. This software is conveniently avail able on our website; please visit: https://smartavi.com/helpful-links/ Download and install:

Finder: Detects 4K-Wall

Launch the network finder software and 4K-Wall and its IP address should appear in the display. Enter the IP address into a web browser of your choice. You should see the 4KWALL Home/ Welcome page as shown in Figure 16-2. Click on the LOG IN button in the top tool bar. Enter the User ID and Password in the Login page. The User ID and Password are case sensitive. User ID = Admin, Password = Pass You can change the User ID and Password by clicking the USER ADMINISTRATION button. 15

USING RS-232 CONTROL

The 4K-WALL may also be controlled via RS-232 commands. This feature requires an RS-232 card installed on your computer or a USB to RS-232 adapter. Below are instructions on how to properly create an RS-232 connection between a PC and the 4K-WALL.

Establish a connection to 4K-WALL:

1. Connect a straight-through male-to-female RS-232 cable to the RS-232 connector on the PC. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the 4K-WALL. 3. Power on the device. If you are using a USB to COM port adapter and need to identify the COM port used do the follow ing: Click on the start button. Click on the Control Panel. Click on Device Manager. Click on the arrow next to Ports (COM & LPT). The name of the adapter should appear and its COM port number.

Setting up the Terminal Application:

Run the terminal client of your choice such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY. Select the correct COM port on the PC. Use the following connection settings:

115200, N, 8, 1, no flow control.

Once the connection is established type “?” and hit enter. The 4K-WALL should respond with a ver sion number and a list of commands. See Figure 11-1 for sample PuTTY screens. 16

USING RS-232 CONTROL (Continued)

When connected to the 4K-WALL using a computer via RS-232 connection, a startup screen should appear. Below are some examples of RS-232 commands:
