* Sub-presets can be used to change details of a particular preset, or used as independent presets. When sub-presets are used as independent presets, the max number of presets accessible from the front panel is 12. To define more than 12, use UltraVista’s control program.

Connect the video source to a video splitter, and connect the splitter’s outputs to the channel 1 inputs (labeled “1”) on all UltraVista main and extension unit. If you want to use two video sources, connect the second video source in the same manor to the channel 2 inputs from a second DVI/VGA splitter. - Page 11 When applying power to the system, apply power to video splitters first before turning on the video sources. This enables the video sources to read the UltraVista units’ EDID (display information) data. To initialize the system, open the OSD menu by pressing the SELECT and EXIT buttons on the front panel of the UltraVista main unit until the OSD menu displays (approximately 3 seconds) Enter the SYSTEM menu, by pressing the SELECT button.

The extension units provide the video signal for the other displays If more than two video sources need to be connected to UltraVista, you can use a video matrix instead of a video splitter. The following example shows four video sources connected to a 4 x 8 video matrix. -

UltraVista offers two types of presets, basic and free. Basic presets are used where the display of a video source is arranged in a regular grid and setup is performed using the OSD. Free presets offer the greatest flexibility for creating eye catching displays. You can freely position the displays and use different display types like CRT’s, flat panel displays or projectors. -
