12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use  
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-  
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or  
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.  
14. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.  
16. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

VIDEO WALL PARAMETERS  
The following information describes the settings, and lists the submenu options/ranges and default settings for defining your video wall  
parameters:  
Monitor ID: Allows the user to set an individual monitor ID for each monitor. To control a monitor or multiple monitors that are daisy-chained by  
RS-232, each monitor must have a unique monitor ID. Numbers 1 to 25 are available to be used as monitor IDs. It is recommended to number  
each monitor in an RS-232 daisy chain sequentially starting with number 1.  
NOTES:  
DVI input can support up to a 3 x 3 grid and loop through directly.  
VGA and video input can support up to a 2 x 2 grid and loop through directly.  
Video Wall: Enables or disables the video wall. Select Yes to enable the video wall. The default setting is No, which disables the video wall  
feature.  
DVI Indemnity: Compensates manually for image degradation caused by daisy-chaining too many monitors using DVI cables. It is recommended  
that you select the On option for the 7th, 8th, and 9th monitors in a DVI daisy-chain. For monitors 1 to 6, it is recommended that you select the  
default Off option.

Figure 10. Video Wall Display with Frame On  
Select the default No setting to turn off frame compensation. The entire signal will be displayed.  
Figure 11. Video Wall Display with Frame Off  
Matrix X: The number of monitors arranged horizontally. Matrix X can range from 1 to 3 monitors by connecting with a DVI source, or 1 to 2  
monitors by connecting with a VGA or video source.  
Matrix Y: The number of monitors arranged vertically. Matrix Y can range from 1 to 3 monitors by connecting with a DVI source, or 1 to 2  
monitors by connecting with a VGA or video source.  
Division X: Selects the horizontal position in each row for a specific monitor.  
Division Y: Selects the vertical position in each column for a specific monitor.

(1,2)  
(2,2)  
Figure 12. 2 x 2 Video Wall Grid  
To configure a 2 x 2 video wall grid:  
1. Determine the input signal type and connect the video signal (refer to Connection Types on page 19).
