Frequently Asked Questions - MXWall-UHD 8×8 Smart-AVI

How do I connect the MXWall-UHD to my network?

Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the rear panel to your router/switch. Ensure the device and controlling PC are on the same subnet. Use the SmartFinderPro utility to discover the device's IP address.

How can I set up a video wall with multiple displays?

Use the web interface or Windows software. In the TV Wall tab, select the desired input, then drag over the output cells to define the stitching pattern. Choose a preset like 2x4, 1x8, or 2x2, or create a custom layout. Click Save Selection to apply.

What is the default IP address of the MXWall-UHD?

The default IP is not fixed; it obtains an IP via DHCP. Use the SmartFinderPro application on the same network to find it. Alternatively, you can set a static IP through the software once connected.

How do I change the output resolution?

On the front panel, press RES + OUTPUT n + NEXT + TAKE in sequence to cycle through available resolutions (e.g., 3840x2160@60, 1080p60). In the web GUI or software, go to Settings and select the desired resolution from the dropdown.

Can I control the matrix via RS-232?

Yes. Connect a straight RS-232 cable from your PC to the DB9 female port on the matrix (baud rate 9600, 8-N-1). In the MXWall-UHD software, select Use serial port connection and choose the correct COM port. The software will auto-detect the device.

How do I save and recall a scene?

On the front panel: press SAVE + OUTPUT n + TAKE to save current routing as scene n (up to 8). To recall, press RECALL + OUTPUT n + TAKE. In the software, arrange the layout and click Add under Saved layouts to store it.

What is the purpose of the IR IN/OUT ports?

They enable IR routing. When a video input m is routed to output n, the corresponding IR IN n is connected to IR OUT m. This allows remote control signals to follow the video path.

How do I perform a factory reset?

5 MXWALL-UHD USER GUIDE

The MXWALL-UHD can be connected through either the web or our provided software. The web connection will require the device to be on the same network as the PC that will control it. With our provided software, the user has the option to also connect to the device through either the network or via RS232.

5.1 CONNECTING WITH THE WEB PAGE

The IP address of the device can be found our provided application SmartFinderPro. Simply open the application and click Find. It will provide a list of all the devices with their IP address and MAC address. The user can also double click the IP address to quickly open a web browser to go directly into using the web page.

By using the web page, the user is provided with two different options on how to configure their video settings.

1. Video Matrix: This is the home page that the user starts in. Video Matrix allows the user to quickly select each individual input and output.

2. TV Wall: This page allows the user to create "stitches" of their inputs, creating an intuitive experience for video walls.

5.1.1 CONNECTING WITH THE WEB PAGE: VIDEO MATRIX

5.1.2 CONNECTING WITH THE WEB PAGE: TV WALL

To use the TV Wall mode, click on the "TV Wall" link on the top right of the page.

1. Save Selection: To create a stitching, simply click on the desired input first and "drag and drop" within the given matrix as seen below. Once the panel is highlighted in blue to how the user would like to stitch, click save selection. This will change the panel to show what input is currently being stitched.

2. Clear Selection: To remove any stitches, simply click clear selection. This button will be grayed out unless there is an existing stitching.

5.1.3 CONNECTING WITH THE WEB PAGE: CONFIGURATION

On the top left of the page there is a purple button with three lines, clicking this will open up the Configuration page. Please note that the Matrix Switch page only displays the "Open Settings" option. For the TV Wall, the user is provided with the option to change matrix presets and can also set the resolution.

Presets:

• 2x4
• 1x8
• 2x2

Resolutions:

• 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (1080p60)
• 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz (4k30)
• 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (4k60)

5.2 CONNECTING WITH THE SOFTWARE

Upon launching the MXWALL-UHD software, the user will be prompted to sign in. On first boot up, the Administrator username and password will already be provided. The user may add additional users with or without administrative privileges within the Users tab.

Default password of Administrator (access to all features) : 12345

5.2.1 CONNECTING WITH THE SOFTWARE: ACCOUNT CREATION AND MODIFICATION

1. Select an existing using on the list to edit credentials or fill in the User name and User password field to create a new account.
2. If editing an existing account, click save. Otherwise click add once you have filled in the required fields to create an account.

5.2.2 CONNECTING WITH THE SOFTWARE: ETHERNET CONNECTION

The user can search for the MXWALL-UHD using the Connect tab in the MXWALL-UHD software as long as the device and PC are within the same network. After opening Connect, select "Use network connection" and click on "Start" next to Search devices. Select the connected Matrix to add to the main page and then click OK.

5.2.3 CONNECTING WITH THE SOFTWARE: RS232 CONNECTION

This setup is similar to using the network on the software to connect. Select "Use serial port connection" in the Connect tab and change the Serial port name to the appropriate COM port connection and set the Baud rate to 9600. Once all of these settings are selected, click OK and the software will search for the matrix using RS232.

5.3 USING MXWALL-UHD

Regardless of how the software connects to the device, controlling it will all be the same. Once the connection has been established, the user can begin stitching together the monitors and changing inputs.

a) Under the word tab section, the connection to the matrix will show as either an IP address or COM port depending on how the user connects to the device. Within the green box shown below, there are three MXWALL-UHD devices connected. The blue highlighted tab (192.168.1.113) will show which device is currently being controlled for interaction.

b) On the left side in the PURPLE BOX where Input 1 – 8 is shown, the user can drag these input boxes to the desired output. The user is also able to drag these inputs into stitched sets already to seamlessly change. When creating new stitches, the lowest input within the stitching range will always take priority when the stitch is created. For example, if the user were to stitch the two panels in the BLUE BOX together, Input 1 has precedence over Input 5, therefore would create a 1x2 stitching with Input 1. The user however can simply make this Input 5 by dragging the box labeled Input 5 from the left side.

c) On the right side in the RED BOX, users are able to register and reload layouts to quickly set up the matrix to their liking. To register a layout, simply draw out the monitor stitching and type in the name of the layout. Press the "Add" button to register it. Multiple layouts may be registered. It is also possible to edit currently saved layouts by simply pressing "Save" while highlighting an existing layout.

d) The Close All tab in the PINK BOX is an easy way to quickly close out all existing stitches.

5.4 NAVIGATING MXWALL-UHD
