Planar Matrix Video Extender Guide de démarrage rapide
020-1048-00A 1
The Matrix video extender box allows you to extend the distance between the
Quad controller and LCD modules by an additional 100 feet. Additional
extender boxes can be used in series to extend the minimum distance of 500
feet. These instructions explain how to hook up the video extender box and
how to set the EQ for each LCD module. Below is a basic diagram that shows
how the extender box should be hooked up.
Note: The COMM cables do not run through the extender box, as it is not necessary to
boost them along the way.

Setting Up Your Wall Using One Extender Box
If you have not already done so, it is recommended that you label all of your
cables before running them. Use the dispenser of cable labels you received
with your Matrix Video Wall.
1Plug one end of the DC wall power adapter into the AC outlet. Plug the
other end into the 12W DC power connector on the OUTPUT side of the
extender box. If there is power coming into the extender box, the POWER
LED on the INPUT side should be green.
2Plug one end of the male to male IR cable into the IR connector of the
master (A) Quad controller module. Plug the other end into the IR Out
connector on the INPUT side of the extender box.

3Plug the male side of one male to female IR cable into the IR In connector
on the OUTPUT side of the extender box.
4Plug the female end of the cable into the male end of the IR sensor that
came with your Matrix Video Wall. If the Quad controller module is
powered on, you should now see a green IR LED on both sides.
Note: For larger walls greater than four displays, the IR sensor is only hooked up to the
extender box associated with Quad controller module A.

5Plug one end of the data cable into the LCD1 VIDEO connector of the
Quad controller module.
6Plug the other end of the data cable into LCD 1 on the INPUT side of the
extender box. If the Quad controller module is powered on and the
extender box is on, the green LED should light.
7Take the second data cable and plug it into LCD 1 of the OUTPUT side of
the extender box.
8Plug the other side of the data cable into the VIDEO connector of LCD 1.
9Depending on the cable length that is running between the extender box
and the LCD, you might see vertical lines or noise on the LCD. If you do,
you will need to adjust the EQ on the extender box, as well as on the LCD
itself through the on-screen menus.

10 You will first want to set the EQ on the extender box. Using the address
selector tool that came with your Matrix LCD video wall, manually adjust
the equalization of each LCD. For most cable lengths, set it in the range of
3-5. See the table below for settings of different cable lengths.

11 If you still see noise or vertical lines on the LCD, you will need to adjust the
EQ on the LCD itself through the on-screen menus. Press the MISC button
once on the remote to pull up the MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu. In
order to set the EQ on an individual LCD, you will need to move the
“target” to the correct display ID of the LCD you want to adjust. For
example, B1, B2, etc. Press the < or > buttons on the remote until you see a
green box around the display ID.
12 Using the -/+ buttons on the remote, move the CABLE EQUALIZATION line
up or down until you do not see any vertical lines on the LCD. The CABLE
EQUALIZATION line is shipped in the nominal position of 4, so you may only
need to make minor adjustments between the range of 3-5. In most cases,
4 will be sufficient.
13 When you are finished, close the on-screen menus.
14 Repeat steps 5-12 for each LCD in your video wall.

Setting Up Your Wall Using Multiple Extender Boxes
In some cases, if the total distance is greater than 200 feet, additional
extender boxes can be hooked up in series. Each series module will extend
the distance by 100 feet. Four boxes in series will provide a minimum drive
distance of 500 feet. Greater distances may be achieved, but it is up to the
installer to test the performance with the cabling they plan to use in the
installation, since cabling selection can affect the distance. Each extender box
boosts the video data enough to travel up to 100 feet per box.
We suggest that you number each extender box with a marker by drawing in
the white box on the OUTPUT side of the extender box.
See the next page for a basic diagram that shows how multiple extender
boxes should be hooked up.

The equalization settings are linked to the INPUT side of the extender box. For
different cable lengths, see "EQ Settings Per Cable Length" on page 5.
