5.1 Wall Designer
Multi-Monitor Display Wall installations can be challenging to design, build, configure and implement. Highly creative display
projects often require multiple monitors arranged in unconventional formations with a myriad of bezel sizes, gaps and monitor
positions. Project designers, installers and integrators require simple yet effect Video Wall creation tools in order to manage the
project from start to finish.
The software includes a community driven database of monitors from popular manufacturers which continues to grow as users
add their own monitor specifications and submit them back to Datapath for inclusion in the next database update.
5.3.1 Software CD
The Datapath Software CD supplied with your Fx4 display controller contains the Wall Designer application. It is recommended
that users regularly visit the
Datapath website
for information on new software releases.
Insert the software CD into a CD/DVD drive and the installation wizard should begin automatically. Should the installation
wizard not start, browse the CD, locate and double click
SetUp.exe
and the following dialogue is displayed.
