Connecting the 

Signal Input 

 

The MVP™  video wall system you design can use  two  basic  setup configurations  to 
connect the signal to the video wall: (1) a configuration using 24 or less panels, and (2) a 
configuration  using more than 24 panels. Refer to the following  diagrams.  See  the 
following section for connecting power to the MVP™  system, and connecting power and 
signal between joined panels. 

 

 

 

 

 

The following configuration of 24 panels shows a direct connection from the 
signal to the MVP™ Driver into the first panel’s Signal Input socket. Refer to the 

MVP™ Driver Quick Reference User Manual

 for information and instructions 

on the MVP™ Driver. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

The MVP™ system maximum signal load is 24 or less panels on a single signal 
cable connection.

 When using more than 24 panels in a video wall design, you will need 

a MVP™ Signal Distributor and additional signal cables to accommodate the number of 
panels over 24. An MVP™ Signal Distributor output supports up to 8 signal output lines, 
providing up to 192 total panels that can be connected from the MVP™ Signal Distributor. 
You also can add more MVP™ Signal Distributors to a MVP™ video wall system. Refer to 
the 

MVP™ Signal Distributor Quick Reference Guide 

for more information.
