Connecting multiple displays to one player

Multiple displays may be connected to a single media player/computer two different ways, using Video Over
Ethernet or using Tile Mode with VGA or DisplayPort video inputs.

Connecting multiple displays with Video Over Ethernet (VOE)

To connect multiple displays to a single media player/computer, each display must be connected to the same
sub-network as the media player/computer. The input source of each display must be set to VOE. With VOE,
displays are connected to media players/computer by establishing an association between the media player/
computer and one or more displays on the network with the VOE software that runs in the media player/
computer. Up to 12 displays may be associated with a single media player/computer (See the VOE Users
Guide provided with the display for more detail). When multiple displays are associated with a single media
player/computer, the displays may be mirrored (a single desktop image displays on all the displays
simultaneously).
The image may be extended across all the displays simultaneously using the View Span "Display Resolution"
dialog box.
The displays may be treated by an application as though there were up to 12 individual displays connected to
12 graphic adaptor heads on the media player/computer.
The association of up to 12 displays is the technical limit, and depending upon the complexity of the desktop
image to be displayed (playing flash, or streaming video), the number of displays which can be associated
with acceptable video performance may be less than 12 (See the Video Over Ethernet User Guide for more
detail).

Connecting multiple displays with Tile Mode

The recommended cable routing for daisy chain in Tile Mode is to start with the upper left display and
connect across the upper tier of displays going from left to right to the last display in that tier. Then cable
from the upper right display to the display just below it and connect across from right to left to the last
display on the left. Continue this back and forth, top to bottom cable route for all the tiers in the wall as
indicated in the next figure.
