Application Notes: Video Wall Deployment

Overview

JPEG2000 AV over IP supports up to 9×9 video wall configurations over 1G managed Ethernet using the AVO-IPJP2K family and the AVO-IPCTL-JP2K controller.

Supported Configurations

  • Max size: 9×9 (81 displays)
  • JPEG2000 only — H.265 and SDVoE do not support video wall mode
  • Layouts: 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, custom grid, mixed
  • Bezel compensation supported

Equipment Required

  • One AVO-IPJP2K encoder per source; one decoder per display
  • AVO-IPCTL-JP2K controller
  • Managed 1G switch with IGMP snooping and MTU 9000

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Enable IGMP snooping, IGMP querier, and MTU 9000 on the switch.
  2. Mount displays and connect each to a dedicated decoder via HDMI.
  3. Connect all decoders, encoder, and controller to the switch.
  4. In the controller web GUI, go to Video Wall, select grid layout (e.g., 3×3).
  5. Assign decoders to grid positions matching physical display positions.
  6. Enter bezel compensation (horizontal and vertical bezel width in mm).
  7. Assign the encoder source and apply.

Best Practices

  • Use identical display models for consistent brightness and bezel
  • Label each decoder with its grid position (e.g., R1C1) during installation
  • Use static IPs for all decoders
  • Test with a full-grid test pattern before handoff
