Looping signals through from one display to another is very convenient but it cannot be done forever There are several ways to distribute signals to all the units without significantly degrading the picture You can string displays together feeding the same analog signal VGA SVGA RGBS NTSC PAL SECAM to six or eight displays After that you may see noise and distortion in the picture Digital signals coming into the Digital In connector and looping out the Digital Out also deteriorate as they are processed again and again in each display At UXGA rates after 4 or 5 displays you may see dropouts and sparkles in the picture Note DVI can often loop through to 4 or 5 displays and sometimes more The number of units that can serially loop with Digital In Out depends on many local factors beyond the control of Planar Systems There is no guarantee that any specific number of displays can be successfully linked digitally So how do you feed one signal to 16 units in a 4 x 4 wall Or 48 units in a 4 x 12 wall Here are some suggestions Analog Then Digital In this example a wall of 16 units is connected with both analog and digital loop throughs The source is an SVGA picture from a PC This comes into the Analog 1 connector of the first unit and loops out of the analog loop through to the Analog 1 connector of the second unit 46 c50RP c67RP c50RX c67RX Installation amp Configuration Guide Connecting Source Cables Th
