 Introduction

The Pixell VP-40 is an economical display wall controller that connects to the VGA output of any PC and stretches the image across four screens.  Each screen displays a quarter of the original VGA image in a 2 x 2 format only as shown below. It is a hardware device that runs in real time with no operating system.

   
     

 

 

If used in conjunction with the Pixell range video processors, large display walls may be constructed by connecting the outputs of processor output to VP-40 units as shown:

 

 

   
     

Description

Front Panel

The front panel is made up of 3 specific areas:

  • The LED panel.
  • The Adjustment Buttons.
  • Output Sockets

LED’s

The LED’s are marked A - H and are used to identify various operations of the VP-40.  The LED panel is covered in more detail later.

Adjustment Buttons

Adjustment operations can be made using the four buttons marked Select, -, +, and Save, again these are covered in more detail later.

Output Sockets 

The output sockets are used to connect the VP-40 to your four display monitors. 

Rear Panel

The rear panel is made up of four specific areas:

  • Sync sockets.
  • Input sockets
  • Power sockets
  • Power LED’s

Sync Sockets

The Sync sockets are used when multiple VP-40’s are connected together and it is required that all displays be locked.  For most applications this is not necessary therefore connecting Sync in and out sockets is not normally required.  For applications that do require all displays to be locked the following connections should be made:

  • The first VP-40 (Sync Out) connects to the second VP-40 (Sync In).
  • The Second VP-40 (Sync Out) connects to the third VP-40 (Sync In) and so on. 

Warning!  The equipment can be damaged if the Sync sockets are not connected as described above.

Input Sockets 

The Input socket is used to connect the input source to the VP-40. 

Power Sockets

The Power In socket is where the power source is connected to the VP-40.  The VP-40-PSU supplied with the VP-40 is plugged into the Power In socket.  The Power Out socket can be used if you possess a more powerful Power Supply Unit (PSU) which can link to multiple VP-40 controllers.  Pixell does not supply such power supply units.

Power and Ready LED’s

The Power and Ready LED’s indicate phases of operation, details of which are highlighted later in the manual.
