    Table 5-3: Media Wall Region Select Switch Settings When the 2430GDAC-MWP is configured to display a media wall (either in Maestro or when forced by DIP switch 2), a portion of the entire media wall is displayed on the connected screen. Figure 5-1 shows the layout of the media wall regions for each of the different screen configurations.

  • Page 14: Media Wall Mode

    (XGA, SXGA, etc.) can also be displayed to a single non-media wall screen when in this mode. When in forced media wall mode, the 2430GDAC-MWP configures itself to display a region of a 2x2 media wall. This allows the 2430GDAC-MWP to expand a standard resolution coming from an Evertz MVP into a 2x2 media wall without explicit support in the MVP system and in the Maestro software.
