Detailed System Setup and operation

1. System structure

➢Processor-1 controls CH-1 / CH-2 and Processor-2 controls CH-3 / CH-4.

➢The settings for system control are done by Processor-1 (CH-1/CH-2).

➢Each processor has independent System Reset and Save.

➢Each processor shares the same OSD menu. User can switch among two output channels in each

Processor by [CH A/B] hotkey in remote controller.

➢HDMI-1/HDMI-2 input ports become matrix switcher for Processor-1 & Processor-2. Each processor

can only select one HDMI input.

➢Each DP port is specific for one processor only.

➢Each input port has independent EDID settings.

➢Each output has independent image rotation/flip, scaling, cropping and color adjustment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

➢Please apply signal source to HDMI input port before video wall settings. Otherwise, the settings will

assume the input resolution is the same as output resolution. It may affect Video wall Overlap setting

result.

➢HDMI2.0-1 or HDMI2.0-2 input source can be displayed across entire video wall (all-in-one).

➢Each HDMI input source can be displayed in either CH 1/2 or CH 3/4 output freely to show one or

two discrete contents on the video wall. It is one kind of matrix switch function.

➢CH 1/2 output is set as Processor-1 and CH 3/4 is Processor-2. Each Processor can only select one

HDMI input source. While CH-1 selects HDMI2.0-1 as input source, then CH-2 input source will be

also switched to HDMI2.0-1 at the same time. Processor-2 (CH 3/4) will have the same limitation.

➢DP-1 input source can only be displayed in CH-1 or CH-2 output port. DP-2 input source can only be

displayed in CH-3 or CH-4. User can select HDMI2.0-1 for CH1 and DP-1 for CH2 or vice versa.

➢When DP input source is selected for one output port, the other output port in the same Processor

still can select the source from the same DP input or any HDMI input source.

➢User can configure the input signal sources to display 1, 2, 3 or 4 contents across 2x2 video wall.

3. Connecting the Outputs

➢If user wants to display single content across entire video wall, user can connect any output to any

monitor. User can assign the final image location through Video Wall [PAN] settings.

➢If user wants to display DisplayPort input source in specific location or to display 2/3/4 different

contents in the video wall, user needs to arrange the output connection in Processor-1 & Processor-

➢Pay attention that DP1 can only be displayed in CH1/CH2. DP2 can only be displayed in CH3/CH4.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For discrete content display, A & B, A & C or B & D locations can be swapped.

4. HDMI Loop Out ports for Multiple Unit Connection

➢Loop Out-1 provides the same unprocessed source signal from HDMI2.0-1 input port. Loop Out-2

provides the same unprocessed source signal from HDMI2.0-2 input port.

➢User can connect any Loop Out signal to any HDMI input port in the next G-406. No specific HDMI

input port is assigned.

➢User can connect up to more than 10 units of G406 through daisy chain connection. The daisy chain

connection number is related to the quality of HDMI cables and signal source resolution—good cable

or lower source resolution can connect more units. User can also add HDMI splitter at the front end

to increase daisy chain connection number for large scale video wall. For instance, user can use 1x4

HDMI Loop Out to next

G406 HDMI2.0-1 or

HDMI2.0-2 input port

G406 User Guide Document: G406-3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HDMI splitter at the front end and provide the same signal to 4 group of daisy chain units. if each

daisy chain group consists of 8 units of G406, the total LCD can be connected will be 8x4x4=128.

➢When user connects two Loop Out ports through daisy chain connection for multiple G406, user can

select any looping signal source to display across entire video wall. User can also display multi-

windows through adding signal sources from DisplayPort in each G406. Different settings can be

stored in Profile Index and recall through front panel, IR remote control, RS232 or Ethernet.

➢If loop out port is not connected, user can connect to a monitor for signal source monitoring purpose.

A & B can be displayed at any monitor. Each DP input source can be displayed at two monitors. User can

display up to 6 different contents across 8 monitors. If user adds two 2x1 HDMI SW to daisy chain signal

input ports (2nd G406 HDMI input ports), user can display up to 8 contents across 8 monitors.

5. System Connection and Power On

➢Poor quality HDMI cable and signal source will affect the connection distance and may cause signal

noise or intermittent display.

➢To ensure all cables are connected correctly, it is recommended to use locking cables.

➢Complete video wall system should be connected to one power Distribution Box with proper

grounding. Power on the system after finishing all connections to avoid system damage by floating

voltage among devices.

➢When power is switched on, the booting time is about 19 seconds and the Input & Output LEDs on

front panel will stay “Light up”for the channel with correct input source and output monitor

connections.
