Clarity Matrix Video Wall Quick Start Guide

Prepare Your Installation Location

Wall. The mounting structures must be fully designed to accommodate the 
installation of the LCD modules. You must also make sure there is enough room for 
the off-board components and any equipment racks that might house these 
components.
