For practical reasons, the displays that make up video walls are usually controlled via the HDMI interface. Cables, connectors, extender systems – all AV transmissions here take place via HDMI. It is not unusual for displays to have no other AV interface at all, and so the connections for video wall control units must also feature HDMI in order for the installation to work. Anyone who wants to feed a video wall with AV content from a DisplayPort interface for example, will not be able to in most scenarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DisplayPort Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to higher bandwidths, DisplayPort has other capabilities that HDMI cannot match. This starts with the secured connector, which features a snap-in mechanism by specification to protect the connection against unintentional disconnection. DisplayPort also features Dual Mode, which since DP version 1.1 with the DP++ standard, has ensured HDMI displays can operate with the DisplayPort interface using simple adapter cables without the need for active electronics. Although the two standards couldn\u2019t be more different in terms of their electrical signalling, the DP++ interface automatically detects when an HDMI monitor is connected and switches the signalling from DP to HDMI. MST (Multi-Stream) mode is another advantage of DisplayPort over HDMI as it allows multiple AV signals to be fed through a single DisplayPort cable between displays and the source device. All that is required is a DP cable between each display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best of Both Worlds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DP-HDMI video wall processor from Lindy allows up to 4 HDMI displays to be controlled in various operating modes from one DisplayPort source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, this device can be operated in video wall mode, which allows it to generate a 2×2 video wall with four 1080p displays from a DisplayPort source with 4K image resolution (3840×2160@60Hz). The 4K image content appears distributed over the 4 screens of the video wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video wall processor can also be operated in duplicate mode as a splitter, in order to display the same image content several times on several displays. Here are the three configurations which can be achieved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
