3 Setting up the display

The display offers multiple connections for video and audio input. Analog video is input through the VGA port, while digital video can be input through either Video Over Ethernet (VOE) or DisplayPort.

Sound can be transmitted with accompanying video through VOE or DisplayPort. To play sound accompanying VGA video, use the audio connection.

Control data, such as power-on or input-select, can be sent through the infrared remote control, an attached media player/computer via RS-232, a networked media player/computer via Ethernet (use the HP Network Sign Manager software), or using the control panel buttons on the back of the display.

The displays can be mounted on a stand or a wall. The stand allows good access to the control panel.

With wall mounting, you can control the display with the remote or through software running on a media player/computer. The HP Network Sign Manager is designed for this purpose.

Displays can be set up in a tiled array. See Using Tile Mode on page 44 for details. The external IR sensor is particularly helpful for displays mounted in an array. Displays can be connected by their IR ports with the IR daisy chain Cable and be controlled either as a group or singularly using the remote control (See Controlling displays with IR Daisy Chain on page 32for more details).

Unpacking

CAUTION: Always use the handles on the back of the display to lift or move it. Avoid holding on to the bezel or frame.

Care must be taken to avoid breaking or scratching the glass surface of the LD4730G model display. Size and weight make it advisable for two people to unpack it together. When laying it flat, either lay it on its back or on a padded, flat surface. When handling the display, always use the four handles on the back of the display and avoid placing hands on the bezel or frame to lift or move the display.
