4. Define the Quantum Ultra Series device and output in the output assignment panel (
using either of the following methods:
• Automatic method — (Recommended) Click the Auto Assign Outputs button (
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. This number
is always 1 (except in an expansion system). In all systems, the second numeral is the card slot, and the third is the
connector (channel) number. For example, 1.9.2 represents chassis 1, card slot 9, connector 2.
•
Manual method — 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).
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.
5.
In the Mullion/Edge Blending Compensation panel (see
previous page) select either of the following radio buttons (for more detailed
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.
6.
(Optional) In the Canvas Area panel, the Full Screen radio button is selected by default, setting the Canvas area (
match the total area of all the outputs. To set the Canvas to a size smaller than the total area, select the Custom radio button
and enter the desired dimensions of the Canvas area.
7.
If desired, select a test pattern from the menu in the Test Pattern panel (
subtracts, from the right and bottom of the Canvas that appears on the Preset Configuration screen, the amount required to
match the entered values.
Source Configuration screen
Each source used in a project must have a corresponding source definition in VCS. To configure the sources:
1. On the taskbar, click the Source Configuration button (see figure 5,
2. Select a source type. In the Source Configuration Tree (left panel), click a source type to add (
installed in your unit, HDMI, FOX3, and IP Source may be listed. Picture, Clock, VNC, Text, and Really Simple Syndication
(RSS) source types are always available for configuration.
NOTE: The number format for the sources listed in the source tree is n.n.n, same as the outputs on the Wall
Configuration screen. The first digit indicates the chassis order number (if it is not an expansion system, this number
is always 1). The second digit is the card slot and the third digit is the connector (channel) number. For example, 1.4.1
represents chassis 1, card slot 4, connector 1.
