How to Run
XAPP1178 (v2.0) January 23, 2015 www.xilinx.com 18
For MST mode, the application finds the number of sinks connected (the maximum will be 4)
and displays video on all the sink monitors.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that you are selecting the resolution and BPC values that are not beyond the sink
monitor max supported values. The display shows fine only if a) the resolution and BPC values that you
selected are within the supported values of the sink monitor b) the combination of resolution and BPC
values does not exceed the bandwidth availability of the maximum supported link rate and maximum
supported lane count values.
Note: Based on the SST/MST design being run, some of the sub menu options might display differently

1. Select the required resolution based on the monitor capability.
Note:
Give only the supported values of the monitor on which you are testing this application. Only few
monitors display a warning when an unsupported video resolution source is given. Read the EDID values
to know the supported resolution and preferred resolution of the sink monitor. For MST, all the monitors
will display the same selected resolution. Depending on the number of monitors connected, the
resolution being selected must be adjusted. For example, if four monitors are connected, the maximum
resolution that you can have is HD (1920x1080_60_P) with eight BPC on all monitors.
2. Select the required bits per color based on the monitor capability.
Note:
Give only the supported values of the monitor on which you are testing this application. The
Supported BPC (color bit depth) for the sink monitor can be read from the "Display EDID values" menu
option.
