Using Extended Functionality Features
Videowall
In the past, to setup a video wall, it was necessary to
purchase a costly image-processing device,
designed exclusively for the purpose.
The XG-P25X has built-in video wall capability that
doesn't require additional expensive equipment.
Basic
Following is an example of how to build a 2X2 video wall
using 4 projectors as shown above.
Install the supplied Sharp Advanced Presentation Software
Professional Edition in advance. For installation details,
refer to the guide for this software.

projectors.
