• Wall Mode , when checked, turns on the Planar Big
Picture™ feature. When not checked, the unit shows
the whole picture.
✎
Each unit in an array gets the whole picture by
feeding them all with a distribution amplifier. The
Aspect Ratio & Wall menu tells the unit what
portion of the entire picture to display.
Frame Compensation
When video units are used in an array, the intent is to
display a large version of an image. However, even the thin-
nest of mullions break up the image oddly.
One way around this is to adjust the image. Imagine
looking out a window made up of many panes of glass. The
image you see is partially obscured by the frames, but your
mind assembles the image and ignores the frames.
Frame compensation allows you to mimic the mind’s
function by “hiding” portions of the picture (as if the mul-
lions were actually hiding the image) and allow the distrib-
uted image to appear as one very large image.
To ensure that images containing diagonal lines remain
correctly diagonal, turn on Frame Compensation.
Depending on how closely you space the units, you must
determine how much of the picture to “hide” behind Bay
Cat X’s mullions and the space between units.
WARNING
The Bay Cat X generates heat. Plan your array
installation to provide adequate ventilation or
cooling to ensure that your Bay Cat Xs operate
within normal usage guidelines. For more
information, see “Optimizing Your Planar Dis-
play” on page 133.
If you have any questions about your installation, con-
sult Planar Systems for proper Bay Cat X array configura-
tion guidelines.
