INSTALLATION UltraVista LC II Installation Installation of the UltraVista LC II is an easy process, and consists of the following: Install the display panels Mount, if necessary, the video wall controller Connect DVI cables, video input cable and power adapter to the video wall controller Adjust the screen resolution output settings Select a screen mode to display output Adjust the video wall mask settings to align images The 2x2 model can be set up to display three modes.
Installing the LCD Displays Mount the monitors as shown in figures 5 and 6. All displays should be identical in size and resolution capabilities. When mounting the displays, keep the horizontal and vertical gaps between displays consistent. Figure 5. 2 x 2 Installation Figure 6.
Bezel compensation value calculation When all the displays have been mounted, measure the bezel width and height, and the viewable width and height as shown in figures 7 and 8. These values will be entered into the OSD to set the gap compensation which will produce a smooth transition from one display to the next.
