DisplayPort - Daisy-chaining

DisplayPort - Daisy-chaining

The DisplayPort (DP) daisy-chaining feature on the DISPLAX TILE Pro allows multiple displays to be connected in sequence. Here's a detailed explanation:

  1. DP1/DP2 Input Ports: These accept video signals up to 4K (3840 × 2160) at 60Hz resolution. (The Tile Pro's native resolution is 1080p)
  2. DP-Out Port: Facilitates daisy-chaining by transmitting signals received from the HDMI or DP input to subsequent displays.

Daisy-Chaining Behavior:

  • Resolution Limit: All connected displays share a maximum resolution of 4K (3840 × 2160), regardless of the number of monitors.
  • Maximum Units: Up to 6 displays can be daisy-chained in a single sequence.
  • OS Behavior: When using daisy-chain mode, the operating system identifies all connected monitors as a single display. This simplifies configuration but limits individual monitor control.
  • Software Requirement: To merge screens and manage the video wall, the VIDEOWALL CONTROL V.4.0 software must be used, ensuring seamless integration and configuration.

Suggested Connection Principles:

  1. Numbering Principles:

    • Starts with Number 1: Assign a unique number to each unit, starting with 1.
    • Left-to-Right Numbering: Number the units sequentially from left to right in each row.
    • Top-to-Bottom Numbering: Continue numbering from the top row to the bottom.
  2. Connection Principles:

    • DisplayPort and RS232 Requirements:
      • Each unit must be interconnected using DisplayPort for video signal transmission and RS232 for control and synchronization.
    • Signal Cable Length: Use the shortest possible signal cables to minimize latency and signal degradation.
