About this Guide This guide discusses how to install, configure, and operate the Extron WindoWall Pro Series multi-graphic processors. Throughout this guide, the terms “WindoWall Pro” and “processor” are used interchangeably to see all models of the products.
About the WindoWall Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processors The WindoWall Pro and WindoWall Pro DI are four-window RGB and video signal processors designed for videowall systems. Each WindoWall Pro can display up to four video sources on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture format. The WindoWall Pro accepts RGB, HDTV component, S-video, and composite video signals on four fully-configurable inputs and has one scaled output. The processors can switch among inputs, and provide a full range of picture controls for each window. Configurations can be saved as presets and recalled at need. The WindoWall Pro DI is a WindoWall Pro with an HDMI input card installed, providing four HDMI input connectors. WindoWall Pro uses a distributed video processing architecture that dedicates a separate processor to each output device (projector, video cube, or flat panel monitor) in the videowall system. Each of the windows can show video, HDTV, or high resolution computer video content. The WindoWall Pro is compatible with most available display devices and outputs video at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 2K, and HDTV component up to 1080p. Because a discrete, real-time processor is dedicated to each display unit in the videowall, the WindoWall Pro system is fully scalable, supporting display layouts from 1x2 to 3x2 and larger. WindoWall Pro systems are available in sets of two or three processors, for 1x2 or 3x2 arrays, with or without HDMI. All HDMI inputs and outputs on these models support HDCP. All models can be controlled remotely via the serial interfaces using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the WindoWall Console software, or via an Ethernet LAN using the WindoWall Pro embedded web pages, SIS commands, or the control software.

This section describes the installation procedures for the WindoWall Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processor and the connectors on the rear panel. Topics include: • Installation Overview • Rear Panel Features • Front Panel • Resetting
Installation Overview The WindoWall Console software can control up to 16 MGPs in a videowall application. To install and set up multiple WindoWall Processor units for a videowall, follow the steps below (see the application diagram in figure 1 on page 4 for a connection example). 1. Disconnect power from the processors and turn off all other devices that will be connected. 2. Install the four rubber feet on the bottom of the unit, or mount it using the supplied rack mounting brackets (see Mounting the WindoWall Pro on page 68). 3. Attach all video sources to the input connectors of a matrix switcher, such as an Extron CrossPoint. 4. If using HDMI inputs with the WindowWall Pro DI, connect each HDMI input source to an HDMI distribution amplifier (DA), such as an Extron HDMI DA. 5. Connect the video outputs of the matrix switcher to the four sets of WindoWall Pro BNC input connectors, or If using HDMI inputs, attach each DA to one of the rear panel HDMI input connectors. 6. Connect the videowall displays to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output connector, the HDMI output connector, or both. 7. Connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the WindoWall Pro rear panel to establish a link to the network (see d LAN connector on page 7). 8. If serial control is desired, connect an RS-232 cable from the host to the Remote RS-232/422 connector on the rear panel for serial control (see c Remote RS-232/422 connector on page 6). 9. Plug the WindoWall Pro, input devices, and output devices into grounded AC sources, and power on all devices. 10. Install and set up the WindoWall Console software on your computer (see Setting Up the WindoWall Console Software on page 11).
NOTE: Step 10 can be performed without the inputs, matrix switcher, or any other hardware connected to the WindoWall Pro.

This section describes the Ethernet connections through which the WindoWall Console software provides configuration and control of the WindoWall Pro system. It gives the procedure for installing and setting up the software on your computer. (For descriptions of all tasks that can be performed with the software, see the WindoWall Console Software help file.) This section also describes the serial connection through which Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands can be issued to the WindoWall Pro and lists the commands that are available for controlling and configuring the processors. Topics include: • Setting Up the WindoWall Console Software • Using SIS Commands
Setting Up the WindoWall Console Software The WindoWall Console application software is the user interface to the WindoWall Pro system. It brings all the WindoWall Pro processors together via TCP/IP and enables you to set up, create, and manage your videowall system. The software includes wizards that take you through step-by-step procedures to configure the input sources and the matrix switcher for the videowall. After completing the setup, you can create additional customized window layouts using the virtual canvas provided by the software, and save these layouts to up to 100 memory presets for future recall.
Installing and Starting the Software You can complete the following startup procedure on the MGP either before or after you connect the other hardware (inputs, outputs, and WindoWall Pro) to it. 1. Insert the provided DVD into your computer CD drive. The disc should start automatically. If it does not, locate the LAUNCH.EXE file name on the CD drive and double-click on it. The Extron Software Products screen opens (see figure 8 on the next page).
NOTE: If the WindoWall Pro software does not appear on the CD provided with your WindoWall Pro, download it from the Extron website at www.extron.com (see Downloading the WindoWall Console Software from the Web on page 13).
2. On the Extron Software DVD screen, click the Software button (shown at right).

This section provides procedures for accessing and using the WindoWall Pro embedded web pages. Topics include: • Accessing the Web Pages • Viewing System Status • Using the Configuration Pages • Using the File Management Page • Using the Background Page The WindoWall Pro and the WindoWall Pro DI can be controlled and configured using HTML web pages that are accessed over a network or from a local PC connected to the WindoWall Pro LAN port. The WindoWall Pro has factory-installed HTML web pages that allow you to view and adjust IP settings, upload firmware and other files to the unit, and select a background image for the display. You can access these HTML pages using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
NOTE: Administrators have access to all of the web pages and are able to make changes to settings. Users can access the pages on the System Status and Background tabs only.
Accessing the Web Pages To access the WindoWall Pro HTML web pages: 1. Start the web browser program. 2. Enter the IP address of your unit in the browser Address field.
NOTE: If your local system administrators have not changed the address, use the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, for this field.
3. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the name of the file to open.
NOTES: • The browser Address field should display the address in the following format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/optional_file_name.html • The following characters are invalid in file names: {space} ~ @ = ` [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ and ?.

Mounting the WindoWall Pro
Tabletop Use Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the WindoWall Pro. For tabletop use, attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.
Rack Mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the WindoWall Pro into a rack: • Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. • Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. • Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition. • Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern. • Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
