MODELS UltraVista Pro Models The UltraVista Pro comes in several models to fit the needs and complexity of the individual video wall installation. The unit comes in a 2U, 4U, 8U or 14U chassis. All the chassis have models which support 2 output windows per screen.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION System Installation and Setup The UltraVista Pro is easy to install. Connect the appropriate video cables from video sources to the appropriate connectors on the input cards. Connect DVI-I, HDMI, or BNC cables from the unit’s output connectors to the appropriate displays.
Operation and Configuration This section describes how to set up and configure the video wall using the HadesView configuration software. Once the UltraVista Pro is connected to a controlling Windows PC through a CATx cable, the configuration software can be used as described below. Establishing Connection between UltraVista Pro and Controlling PC Install the supplied HadesView configuration software on a Windows PC.
1. Begin by clicking the Communication Setting option in the Software Operation tab. This will display the Communication Setting window. Figure 14. Communication Setting Window 2. If an Ethernet connection is to be used, the default IP address and port number of the unit are 192.168.1.65 and 1024.
User Administration User Administration provides the means to set up user list and access rights to the UltraVista Pro. This is accomplished by following the steps below. 1. Click the Users button on the Tools tab’s menu bar to set up individual user accounts. Figure 15.
Video Wall Set Up This section describes the steps to set up the video wall and customize the video wall. Not all options may be required for a particular layout. Video Wall Settings The video wall can be set up in the Screen Layout Setting window. It can be accessed by clicking Layout in the Software Operation tab.
Channel Mapping Click the Group button in the Basic Operation tab’s menu bar to assign physical output cards to positions in a video wall grouping. Figure 18. Group Menu Bar Button The Screen Group Setting window is displayed. Assign the desired output cards from the Output Card List to the video wall and click the OK button when complete.
Signal Source Settings The list of signal sources can be found in the left side Signal Management pane. Figure 20. Signal Source The icon of each signal source turns green when an input signal is detected on a corresponding channel. Figure 21.
Users can configure a signal source by right-clicking on it in the Signal Management pane. This brings up the signal source configuration menu. The individual menu options are described below. Figure 22. Signal Source Configuration Menu VGA Signal Property The VGA Signal Property option allows users to set the signal properties of VGA Signal Sources. Figure 23.
Update EDID This option allows the user to select an EDID configuration file (*.dat) to be used with a Signal Source, typically for specifying an unusual resolution. Files can be captured from video displays with the EDID Editor program supplied with the configuration software. The program also allows modification of existing files to create new files.
The parameters for the desired screen resolution can be set, particularly the H Active, V Active and Pixel parameters. These respectively set the number of horizontal pixels, number of vertical pixels and the refresh rate. It is recommended that the refresh rate not be modified. Figure 29.
Modify Name The name of the signal source can be specified with the Modify Name menu option. This will help to identify and manage the signal sources. Figure 31. Modify Signal Information Window Add Mode The Add Mode menu option allows users to crop the video image of a signal source by specifying the horizontal and vertical starting pixels of the cropped signal, as well as the width and height of the video.
Creating and Laying Out Display Windows Select a signal source by clicking it in the Signal Management window. Then, create a display window in the video wall by clicking the left mouse button and dragging in the gray region of the right pane. Display windows can also be created by selecting New Open button in the Basic Operation tab.
Test Signal The interface between UltraVista Pro and output displays can be tested by transmitting solid color signals or a grid pattern. To do so, select the Test option from the Basic Operation tab. Figure 35. Test Signal Window Scene File Backup Video Wall configurations can be identified and saved as scenes for future recall.
Click the Save button to save a scene. Previously saved scenes can be loaded by clicking the Open button, and selecting from the listed scenes. Alternately, saved scenes can be loaded by clicking the Layout button in the left pane. They can also be loaded and displayed in a sequential loop by clicking the Loop button in the menu bar.
Input Signal Preview This function can be used to preview the input signals on the controlling PC before putting them out on the video wall. To do so, click the Preview button in the Basic Operation tab’s menu bar. Figure 39. Preview Menu Bar Button The preview region is found at the bottom of the right hand pane.
