Selecting DP 11 or DP 12

The DISPLAX TILE has 2 different Display Port protocols available. Each of them offers different solutions for videowall mosaic setups.
The available protocols are DP 11 and DP 12.

To select either protocol, access the on-screen display (OSD) menu and select Other Settings > DP Config > DP 11 / DP 12

DisplayPort 11 

With DP 11 it's possible to daisy-chain up to 6 TILE's. This mode also offers the possibility of setting up a video wall mosaic using the internal processor of the TILE. 

With a powerful AD board that will handle the merging/splicing of the screens, DP 11 mode bypasses the limitation of the number of screens connected to a graphics card. This is because after the mosaic is configured using the TILE processor, the operating system will recognize all the screens as one, single display. Please note that the resolution output by the graphics card needs to be customized according to the aspect ratio of the entire videowall. Otherwise, the OS will set the video wall to a resolution of 1920x1080, which is the default resolution of one TILE.


In the example below there's a 2x8 video wall. In such a setup it's possible to divide the video wall into four branches of 4 TILES each.

Each color represents a branch that will be daisy-chained and connected to the GPU display port output.
It's now possible to merge each branch using the ScreenControl software, or using the TILE's remote control.




Please note, depending on the size and resolutions that are desired, it is important to use an adequately powerful GPU, capable of supporting the requirements.


DisplayPort 12

With DP 12 the number of TILES connected to a machine is limited by the graphics card capability.

Each connected TILE is detected independently by the operating system. To set up the mosaic, it's necessary to use the graphics card control panel software.

DP 12 mode can also connect via daisy-chain feature.
