How It Works

To operate the Gefen 1x4 Video Wall Controller, connect a single Ultra HD or Full HD source to the HDMI input port. Then, connect up to four Full HD displays to the corresponding HDMI outputs on the unit. Once powered on, the controller processes the incoming video signal, dividing it into four separate sections that are scaled specifically for each connected display. Using the on-screen display, built-in web interface, or commands via IP or RS-232, you can easily configure the video wall by selecting a preset layout (such as a 2x2 grid) or creating a custom layout. For a professional finish, apply bezel compensation to adjust the image and hide the physical borders of the displays, creating one large, seamless picture. The controller also de-embeds audio from the HDMI source, making it available through the L/R analog audio outputs for use with an external amplification system.
