Adjusting For Mullion Compensation And Edge Blending; Connecting To A Network - Extron electronics Quantum Ultra User Manual

Adjusting for Mullion Compensation and Edge Blending

When setting up the videowall, you can select test patterns via the VCS that help you
define the following adjustments:
•
•
Each output canvas maintains its unique edge compensation settings with discrete values
for the horizontal and vertical edges. The settings are applicable to all edges within the
canvas.
See the VCS Help File for instructions on adjusting to compensate for mullion and edge
blending.

Connecting to a Network

The Quantum Ultra provides an Ethernet network connection over UTP that is separate
from the network port dedicated for control. In secure installations, it is often preferable
for the AV control network to be isolated and separate from the standard house network
which would provide access to the rich media content that the Quantum Ultra chassis
supports. You can access VNC sessions on your network using one LAN port, and the AV
control IP connection is not required to also be on your data network.
Connect a computer that is running the Videowall Configuration Software to the Ethernet
(10/100/1000Base-T) LAN A or LAN B port on the rear panel to enable you to control the
Quantum Ultra processor and to set up videowall applications via the computer.
NOTE: Ensure that the PC and the Quantum Ultra processor are on the same subnet.
Mullion compensation — Mullion is the area of frame border that exists around
each display. When designing the videowall, you must take this area into account
so that, when an image is spread across two or more displays, the image flow is
not distorted. The VCS enables you to adjust the space around each display to
compensate for the mullion.
Edge blending compensation — In certain situations it may be desirable to create
an overlap of video between adjacent displays. This overlap melds the two images
from two separate outputs into a single image and prevents a visible separation line
between the two images. Use the VCS to set or adjust the amount of horizontal and
vertical overlap of the videowall displays.
