NOTE: 1. Th e VIDEO 1 and VGA terminals may be used
either for INPUT or OUTPUT.
Do not connect an OUTPUT signal from another
unit when LOOP OUT in the OPTION 3 OSD is set
to ON, as it may damage the other unit due to an
extraordinary load.
2. While signals are input to the VGA terminal,
LOOP OUT should not be turned ON.
Information:
Set the LOOP OUT in OPTION3 to ON to loop signals out
to another plasma display.
• Set the VIDEO WALL options properly when creating a
video wall.
• Use the appropriate (length and effi ciency) BNC cable to
connect monitors.
• If the image quality is poor, do not use the monitor out
terminal to link to another monitor. Use a commercially
available distribution amplifi er to connect the split signal
to the appropriate monitor INPUT terminals.
• For a resolution of 1024x768 at 60 Hz (or lower), the
maximum recommended size for a viewing wall is 4
displays.
• A distribution amplifi er is highly recommended when
setting up a 3 x 3 (or greater) video wall.
• When looping from plasma to plasma, an appropriate
(length and effi ciency) 15-pin male mini D-Sub - 5BNC
conversion cable is required.
