Tiling a Display
If you have a wall of multiple displays, you will need to set up a variety of options that
relate to how each display fits into the wall. Whether you use Planar’s Big Picture
TM
or
an external video processor, your goal is to make the picture fit together properly at
the edges.
Using an External Video Processor
The processor divides a single picture into several sections and sends each part on a
separate cable. Connect these cables to the proper display.
You can still position the picture with the display controls. With most processors, you
can position and zoom the picture with the processor controls.
Using Planar’s Big Picture TM
To use Planar’s Big Picture
TM
, you must set the values in the ASPECT RATIO & WALL
menu for the same wall size on all the displays in the array.
To show the same source on all the displays in an array you’ll need to use an external
distribution amplifier. For small wall applications, you can also use the built-in DVI
loop-thru or the built-in SDI loop-through. For each display, set the
ASPECT RATIO &
WALL menu for the same array size.
Note: Each display in an array gets the whole picture by feeding them all with a distribution
amplifier. The ASPECT RATIO & WALL menu tells each display what portion of the entire
picture to display.
