The unit supports 8 distinct output modes, allowing flexible arrangement of your content across the displays. These modes include 2x2 (single source spread across all displays), 1x2, 2x1, 1x3, 3x1, 1x4, 4x1, and 1x1 (splitter mode). You can cycle through these modes using the 'MODE' button on the front panel or the remote control.
Input/Output Selection
Use the 'HDMI' or 'USB-C' buttons on the front panel or remote to select the active input source. The 'AUTO' mode allows the unit to automatically detect and switch to an active input.
Audio Extraction
The audio extraction feature allows you to separate the audio from the HDMI/USB-C video signal and output it via the Optical (SPDIF) or L/R analog ports. This is useful for connecting to external audio systems for higher fidelity sound.
180-Degree Rotation
In 2x2 video wall mode, the unit supports 180-degree image rotation for the upper displays. This feature is useful for minimizing bezel interference when using displays with thicker bottom bezels.
