System Setup Procedures
1. Connecting the inputs
Please apply signal source to HDMI input port before video wall settings. Otherwise, the settings will
assume the input resolution is the same as output resolution. It may affect Video wall Overlap setting
result. User can also apply DVI-D signal through DVI to HDMI adapter.
2. Connecting the outputs

3. HDMI Loop Out for Multiple Unit Connection and monitoring
Loop out port provides the same raw signal from HDMI input. It supports up to 8k/1k @30Hz.
➢User can connect any Loop Out signal to any HDMI input port in the next GeoBox or other devices.
➢User can connect up to more than 10 units of G406s through daisy chain connection. The daisy
chain connection number is related to the quality of HDMI cables and signal source resolution—good
cable or lower source resolution can connect more units. User can also add HDMI splitter at the front
end to increase daisy chain connection number for large scale video wall. For instance, user can use
1x4 HDMI splitter at the front end and provide the same signal to 4 group of daisy chain units. if each
daisy chain group consists of 8 units of G406s, the total LCD can be connected will be 8x2x4=64.

➢If Loop out port has not been used, user can use loop out port to connect with monitoring system in
control room to see the status of the video wall content.
4. System Connection and Power On
➢Poor quality HDMI cable and signal source will affect the connection distance and may cause signal
noise or intermittent display.
➢To ensure all cables are connected correctly, it is recommended to use locking cables.
➢Complete video wall system should be connected to one power Distribution Box with proper
grounding. Power on the system after finishing all connections to avoid system damage by floating
voltage among devices.
➢When power is switched on, the booting time is about 19 seconds and the Input & Output LEDs on
front panel will stay “Light up”for the channel with correct input source and output monitor
connections.
No specific output connection sequence is required.
Location can be set by Video Wall [PAN] menu.
