Matrox Mura MPX Series – User Guide 7
Planning your output layout
This section describes the steps to consider if you’re setting up a Mura MPX-based display wall for the
first time. We recommend you review these steps
before setting up your display wall.
Setting your card order
Mura MPX-4/4, MPX-4/2, MPX-4/0,
MPX-SDI only
– The DIP switches on your
Mura MPX Series output cards are used to
control the order in which the GPUs of
your cards are used. Setting the DIP
switches is useful if you’re setting up a large
display wall layout that uses multiple cards,
because it enables PowerDesk software to
properly lay out the outputs of your display
wall and avoids you having to manually set
up your multi-display layout.
For example, setting the first card to
0
means that card will be the first one used,
and the first GPU of that card will be
identified by PowerDesk as
A .
To set the DIP switches on your cards, use
the tip of a pen or pencil to flip the switch
on or off. We recommend setting your card
order as follows, starting with card
0 .
*
* The DIP switches use binary counting to set the card order.
