Using the DP 11 mode allows to use the DISPLAX TILE internal videowall processor.
In the below example we are covering the steps for a 6 x 1 video wall, arranged in 6 vertical columns, and 1 horizontal row.
Since each TILE has a resolution of 1080 x 1920, the total resolution of such a video wall will be (1080 x 6) x (1920 x 1) = 6480 x 1920
Requirements:
- 3 Branches of 2 daisy-chained TILES
- Graphics card or device capable of supporting the setup
- Screen Control Software
- DP 11 mode selected
- RS232 Daisy-chain connection
Steps:
1.
Connect all the 6 Tiles in 3 branches of 2 units each
You may create different custom resolutions, according to the use case, or application requirements
2. Connect each branch to a GPU output
3. Daisy-chain all the TILEs via RS232 protocol using RJ45 cables - an RJ45 to RS232 adapter is shipped with every TILE - connect it to your PC COM port
RJ45-RS232 Adapter
4. Ensure the TILE power buttons are ON
5. Turn ON all the TILEs using the Remote Control and make sure the Input Source is Display Port
We recommend using an IR extender, so you don't have to aim the remote control to the back of the TILEs
IR Extender
6. On the TILEs' OSD menu, select
Other Settings, then
DP Config, and finally
DP 11. Check to ensure that the changes are occurring on all the TILEs
TILE OSD Menu
8. In the upper menu, click on
Set (S), then
Splice Setting (P)
9. In the
Splicing Screen Setting dialog, enter the video wall matrix values
and click OK
It is 1 rows x 6
columns in our example
Open the RS232 connection by clicking on "Open Connect"
10.
Click on Open Connect to open the RS232 connection - the connection icon will change and the rest of the menu items will become available

11. Select
Super User mode in the lower left corner. Password:

12. Select the ID Setting tab and click on
Produce Identifier
13. A
Soft ID will be displayed on each TILE, with parameters which need to be attributed in Screen Control (Defining the physical position of each TILE)
14. With
Screen 1-1 selected (upper-left corner), enter the
Soft ID in the Identifier1 & Identifier2 fields, the
VAddr: and
HAddr: values (Vertical and Horizontal position of the TILEs), as displayed on the corresponding TILE, then click
Application
15. Select the next screen and repeat the process, until all parameters for each corresponding TILE is entered
16. Divide the video wall into 3 branches: Select screens
1-1 and 1-2, right-click on the selection, and select
DP. Repeat the process for screens
1-3 and 1-4, 1-5 and 1-6
Your video wall is now configured so that the operating system detects it as 3 displays
17. If the image is rotated, re-select a branch, select the Screen Setting tab, and rotate it
90º. Repeat the process for each branch
18. Once all branches are displaying as one single display, you need to customize the input resolution of each one in the graphics card Control Panel
19. Use the Set up Mosaic option to merge the 3 branches into a single display, then perform the
Bezel Correction
20. The Bezel Correction can also be performed in Screen Control, select
Tool (T), then Frame Effect (K)
