Connecting Sources
Note: If you do not want to connect your sources at this time, you may do Runco
WindowWall Layout (see "Matrix Layout Menu" on page 59) and perform color balance
before sources are connected.
The digital inputs of the Runco WindowWall gives you the flexibility to create a
variety of configurations that can be displayed. There are three basic ways that you
will most likely use your video wall.
• Spread one picture over the entire video wall
• Plug in individual inputs into each LCD in the wall
• Spread one picture over a section of the wall, or what we’ll call a sub wall, and
have individual inputs on the other displays.
Each Quad Input Manager Module has four DVI inputs, a Dual Link loop input and a
Digital Loop Out. The Runco DHD3 connects as a source to the Quad Input Manager
Module. How you connect your sources may depend on what you want to do with
the wall. Familiarize yourself with the configuration scenarios ("Understanding Wall
Configuration" on page 101) before connecting your sources. If in doubt, connect
each source to the Digital In connector that corresponds to the LCD connector where
you will want that source to be displayed. If you will use any form of Runco Big
Picture, cable the digital loop out and Dual Link In connections as shown in "Loop-
Through" on page 47. If you want to connect an analog source to the Runco
WindowWall, you will need to use an analog to DVI-D converter or matrix switcher
that converts analog signals to DVI.
