How to set up the VQS-01

Features

Display Mirroring

The VQS-01 also supports display mirroring. This allows each output to be mirrored horizontally and vertically. This feature is particularly useful for display walls using LCD panels, allowing each panel of a 2 x 2 wall to be mounted in a different orientation. Many LCD panels have larger borders on two of the panel edges, by changing the orientation the minimum gap between displays can be achieved.

Adjustable Output Refresh Rate

The VQS-01 output refresh rate is synchronised to the input refresh rate, as standard. For applications where the refresh rate must be specified, then most display modes provide options for 50, 56, 60, 70, 72, 75 and 85Hz.

Display Adjustments

When using an analog VGA source, the VQS-01 provides user adjustment for the following:

These adjustments allow the output display to line up exactly with the incoming analog VGA source. Adjustments to any particular display mode may be saved, the VQS-01 will then recall the settings every time the display mode is detected.

Gen-Lock

When using multiple VQS-01 controllers for larger wall configurations, it may be desirable to gen-lock the VQS-01 units enabling all displays to be synchronised. The VQS-01 provides a sync output and sync input, to gen-lock, connect the output from one unit to the input of the next.
