In Configuration the following setting can be changed for setting up the video wall displays

1) Screen configuration

The number of screens and the layout of the screens for the video wall can be set up here

2) Screen resolution

The signal format, resolution and frame rate can be set up in this section.

3) Screen bezel correction

In this section, screen bezel can be compensated to obtain accurate display of the image.

Bezel compensation calculation:

Unit: pixel, and assume the parameter as follow

Monitor Bezel width: left = a, right = b

Monitor Bezel width: top = c, bottom = d

Monitor dimension (exclude bezel) = L x H

Monitor resolution = x * y pixel (e.g. 1920 x 1080)

Vertical = +bl * x

Horizontal = +dH * y

4) Multi video walls setting

SEADA SolarWall video wall controllers are able to control up to four video walls independently within one system. Simply tick the number of video walls the system needs to control and then set up the video wall individually in each Configuration.

1.2.1. Setting

1) New Open

Click the New Open button to open a window for the highlighted input source onto the video wall.

The system will automatically fit the new open window onto one of the displays on video wall.

Two other ways are able to open a new window of input source onto video wall as well by drag & drop and drawing in Application Toolbar and Video Wall Display Area respectively.

2) Close All

Clicking the Close All button will close all the existing windows on the video wall.

3) Lock

Clicking the Lock button will lock the current highlighted window in Video Wall Display Area for any change

4) Bottom

Clicking the Bottom button will send the current highlighted window to back of other windows in Video Wall Display Area

5) Top

Clicking the Top button will send the current highlighted window in front of other windows in Video Wall Display Area.

6) Test

This tool provides the ability to test the uniformity of brightness and contrast of the displays across the video wall. The left column and the right column enable user to choose different colour and pattern for test respectively.

8) Group

This function offers the chance to have correct channel mapping between outputs of controller and displays of video walls even when the physical channel mapping is incorrect. It offers up to 4 groups of settings. Each group responses to one video wall independently in multi video wall.

e.g. if the output 1&2 of controller accidentally connect to display 2&1 of video wall, instead of going through rewiring, the correction can be simply done in Group by remapping the channel. In this case map the output 2 to 1 and output1 to 2.

Camera List Find Refresh Camera List IP camera 2 Signal Management Layout Camera List

2.3.1. Set up the IP input signals

Before going any further, ensure the RTSP address of the IP signal has been obtained either through IP camera manual or suppliers.

For example: D-Link-2230 has the RTSP address of rtsp://x.x.x.x/live1.sdp where the x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the camera. Therefore the RTSP address for SolarWall video wall controller is rtsp://a:b@x.x.x.x/video1.sdp where a represents username and b represents password for the camera. If there is no password, please leave b empty.

Note: if the rtsp address for SolarWall system does not include username and password, the system will ask for username and password every time when the IP camera being used.

1) Using the software coming with the device to set up the IP address of each device to match the IP group of SolarWall Controllers (the default IP address for SW controller is: 192.168.1.65). Ensure each input has a unique IP address in the system.

2) Use free download software of VLC media player to test the RTSP address of devices to ensure the RTSP address is valid. Ensure the cameras connect to control PC and IP cards at the same time through Ethernet switch, not connect to IP cards port directly.

Assume the IP address of D-Link-2230 is 192.168.1.60 and the username is admin without password, the RTSP address for this IP camera is

rtsp://admin:@192.168.1.60/live1.sdp

The below setting will open the IP streaming from this D-Link-2230 IP camera
