Connecting VW-4
You can connect up to 16 VW-4 devices to create a video-wall of 8x8, using 64 displays. In
the example below, three VW-4 devices are used to create a 6x2 video-wall.
The ID Name of the three devices in this 6x2 diagram are set by the App to 0, 1 and 2
(see
Changing the Device ID Number on page 16 ). Each output is designated by the device
ID number and its outputs. For example, VW-4 (1) is defined as the second device in this
video-wall configuration and VW-4 (1-2) is HDMI OUT 2 on that device.
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VW-4 . After
connecting your VW-4 , connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.
