to always encrypt the output (default), to never encrypt the output, or to attempt to encrypt the output for 1 minute, then
revert to an unencrypted state (not allowing display of HDCP encrypted sources if authentication with the sink device
fails).
•
HDCP Notification (
input signal contains HDCP-protected content and the outputs cannot be encrypted.

Display Rotation (
physically rotate: +90° (90 degrees clockwise), -90° (90 degrees counterclockwise) or 0° (no
rotation). The example at right shows a videowall that has four rotated displays.
NOTE: The OUT4HDMI cards support output rotation only on the even numbered channels
and disables the odd numbered channels. The OUT4HDMI 4K PLUS cards support output
rotation on all channels.
4. Define the Quantum Ultra Series device and output in the output assignment panel (
display on the videowall, using either of the following methods:
•
Automatic method — (Recommended) Click the Auto Assign Outputs button (
automatically assign a device and an output channel to each display in the videowall. Output card
slot and connector numbers are assigned to the displays in numerical order. The displays are
shown on the Canvas numbered from left to right, starting in the upper-left corner with Display 1.
The number format for the display locations is n.n.n. The first numeral indicates the chassis number. If there is a single
chassis, this number is 1. In an expansion system, this number is the order number of the chassis in the chain. In all
systems, the second numeral is the card slot, and the third is the connector (channel) number. For example, 3.9.2
represents chassis 3, card slot 9, connector 2.
•
Manual method —
a. Select a Quantum Ultra Series device for a display on the videowall. Click <Undefined>
beside the number of the display to be assigned, and select a device from the drop-down
list.
b. Select a chassis, output card, and slot number for the display. Click <Undefined> in
the Output Assignment column, in the row of the display to be assigned. On the output
drop-down list, all output connectors are listed in order by chassis number (unless the unit is
part of an expansion system, this number is always 1), then card slot number, then
connector number.
In the example at right, number 1.10.4 represents connector 4 on the
output card in slot 10 of chassis 1.
Repeat these steps for each display on the videowall to which you want to
assign a Quantum Ultra Series device and output connector. (This guide
assumes you are configuring a videowall with one device. For information on
configuring a videowall with multiple processors, see the VCS Help File).
5. In the Mullion/Edge Blending Compensation panel (
information, see the VCS Help File):
•
Mullion Compensation — Displays controls that let you specify the mullion space around the displays in pixels, inches,
centimeters, or millimeters. If not using pixel values, you must also enter the diagonal size of the screen.
•
Edge Blending (Quantum Ultra or Ultra II 610 and 305 only) — Displays controls that let you specify the amount in
pixels of horizontal and vertical overlap of the videowall outputs.
If desired, select a test pattern from the menu in the Test Pattern panel (

Source Configuration

Each source used in a project must have a corresponding source definition in VCS. To configure the sources:
On the taskbar, click the Source Configuration button (see figure 10,
