•
To daisy-chain display panels, connect a digital source to the first panel in the video wall.
Subsequent display panels can be connected using the DisplayPort cable using the upstream
DP Out and the downstream DP In connections.
•
The maximum number of display panels that can be daisy-chained using the DP Out connector
is 16.
•
If more than 16 display panels are required, daisy-chaining can be used in combination with an
external video splitter.
Ensure that the DP Out connector is not confused with the OPS DP Out connector. The DP Out
connector is used for daisy-chaining display panels. The OPS DP Out connector is used to connect a
second display panel to the installed OPS module (sold separately).
1. To daisy-chain video throughout a video wall using a single video source, connect the DVI,
HDMI or DisplayPort video source to the first display panel in the video wall.
2. Connect the remaining display panels using the DP out of the upstream display panel and the
DP In of the downstream display panel.
Connecting an RS232 or an Ethernet controller to a video
wall in landscape orientation
Complete the following steps to connect an RS232 or an Ethernet controller to a video wall in
landscape orientation.
It is not recommended that more than 25 display panels be daisy-chained together using the RS485
input and outputs. If you are working with a video wall that exceeds 25 display panels, consider
breaking the video wall into groups of 25 display panels or less, and then use separate RS232 or
Ethernet connections to control each group.
To control a video wall using the IR remote control, plug the IR extender into the first display panel in
the daisy-chain.
1. Connect the controller to the top-left or bottom-left display panel.
2. Connect the remaining panels as illustrated.
