VIDEO WALL PARAMETERS  
The following information describes the settings, and lists the submenu options/ranges and default settings for defining your video wall  
parameters:  
Monitor ID: Allows the user to set an individual monitor ID for each monitor. To control a monitor or multiple monitors that are daisy-chained by  
RS-232, each monitor must have a unique monitor ID. Numbers 1 to 25 are available to be used as monitor IDs. It is recommended to number  
each monitor in an RS-232 daisy chain sequentially starting with number 1.  
NOTES:  
DVI input can support up to a 3 x 3 grid and loop through directly.  
VGA and video input can support up to a 2 x 2 grid and loop through directly.  
Video Wall: Enables or disables the video wall. Select Yes to enable the video wall. The default setting is No, which disables the video wall  
feature.  
DVI Indemnity: Compensates manually for image degradation caused by daisy-chaining too many monitors using DVI cables. It is recommended  
that you select the On option for the 7th, 8th, and 9th monitors in a DVI daisy-chain. For monitors 1 to 6, it is recommended that you select the  
default Off option.
