Product Overview

1.1 Product Features
JTECH-VWM90 is an Ultra-HD Rotary Splicer Video Wall controller by J-Tech Digital. It supports 4 HDMI inputs (1 HDMI Port supports 4K@60Hz, 3 HDMI Ports support 4K@30Hz), 1 DP input (4K@60Hz), 9 HDMI outputs (1080P@60Hz), and 1 DP local loop out. There is support for multiple splicing modes, such as horizontal screen, vertical screen, and 2×2, and the unit supports large-scale cascading and parallel use in form of loop-out. The unit can open 4 windows on the whole screen at once, and support multiple window-opening modes such as single screen, PIP double screen, double screen, and 4 picture segmentation.
The inputs support full-screen rotation of 90° (only supported in single- picture mode), and the output supports 180° rotation of the first line (only supported when the stitching mode is two lines).
The input source doesn’t need to be compressed, and there is no stretching or deformation ensuring that the picture is clear.
The unit utilizes low power consumption and is energy-saving. Conductive heat dissipation is used internally without any external heat dissipating measures making the reliability of the unit extremely high.
JTECH-VWM90 utilizes a 40nm high-end programmable FPGA chip, full hardware real-time processing architecture resulting in ultra-fast processing speed without delay.

Operation Instructions

2.1 Product Panel Description

A. RS232 Control Loop Out – Used in cascade mode to loop out RS232 commands to the next device
B. Network Interface – TCP network protocol used for the control system to issue instructions to control the device (Default IP Address: 192.168.1.192 | Default Web Login Password: admin1)
C. RS232 Input – Used to issue RS232 commands to the device
D. DIP Switch (Board ID) – Indicates the ID of the current device in cascade mode. For detailed settings, see Note 1 below
E. IR Port – Used for receiving remote control signals. Needs an external IR receiver
F, G, H, I – 4 HDMI input ports. Input Port “I” supports 4K@60Hz maximum resolution, while ports “F/G/H” support a maximum 4K@30Hz. The LED lights next to each HDMI interface indicates an active signal input
J. 1 DP input interface. Supports 4K@60Hz
K. 3.5mm Audio out interface for external audio devices
L. DP local loop-out. When multiple devices are cascaded, this port acts as the DP input source for other JTECH-VWM90 devices. The LED light next to this interface indicates that there is a loop-out signal output (In single-screen mode, the loop-out follows the selection of the input source channel to switch. In non-single screen mode, only the loop-out DP signal is supported)
M. Power switch

JTECH-VWM90 – rear panel

N. Power Interface – Connect to the provided 12V@2A AC-DC power supply. The LED indicator next to the interface is an indicator of the device receiving power
O – W. 9 HDMI output ports. The LED lights next to each HDMI interface indicate an active output signal

Note 1: The DIP switch, when cascading, will indicate the ID number of the current device which is set in binary.

Single Screen Mode: There is only one screen, and the value is fixed as number 1, as shown below:

Double Picture (PIP Mode): The face value of the large picture is No.1, and the value of the small picture no. 2 as shown below:

Double Picture (Left Right Mode): The left screen value is No.1, and the right screen value is No.2 as shown below:

Double Picture (Up Down Mode): The upper screen value is No.1, and the lower screen value is No. 2 as shown below:

Four Screen Mode: The value of the upper left screen is No. 1. The value of the lower left screen is No.2. The value of the upper right screen is No. 3. The value of the lower right screen is No.4, as shown below:

2.3 Remote Control Operation Instructions
The adjustment of the following two groups of parameters needs to press the [Ent] confirmation key to take effect, and the [Esc] cancel key can be pressed when the parameter set needs to be canceled.

1. [ROW, COL] is a group to adjust the output splicing mode. You can confirm the value by viewing the OSD display information in the upper left corner of the whole screen. For example: if you need to adjust to 2×3 (two rows and three columns) splicing mode, you need to set [row] to 2, and [COL] to
   3. Press [Ent] to confirm, and then the splicing mode will be changed to 2×3.
   

2. [Src, Win] is a group. The purpose is to arbitrarily specify the input source channel of each screen (window) in the “whole screen”. You can confirm the value by viewing the OSD display information in the “upper left corner of the whole screen”.
   For example: Currently, it is [ ] PIP mode, HDMI is displayed in a large screen window and DP is displayed in a small screen window by default. If you need to adjust the large screen window to DP and the small screen window to HDMI, Then you need to set [Win] to “1”(window No. 1 means large screen window), [Src] is “2” (2 means DP input)， After pressing the [Ent] confirmation key， The large screen window can be switched to DP signal source.Set【Win】to “2”（window No. 1 means small screen window），set【Src】to “1”（2 means HDMI input），After pressing the [Ent] confirmation key， The small screen window can be switched to HDMI signal source.

Common Problems

1. What is the output resolution of the loop-out interface?
   If the loop-out interface of the first device outputs a 3840×2160 resolution, the resolution of the DP input signal of the second device is 3840×2160 resolution.

2. Sometimes, the dialing code or remote-control switch does not respond.
   Because the setup involves resolution switching, it takes a certain time (1s). If the display does not meet expectations, it can be restored by power off again.

3. Is there a flash line in cascade mode?
   Please use the DP cable provided by the manufacturer to connect the cascaded DP port.

4. What is the order of the output screen?
   Top to bottom left to right.

5. There are errors in the remote control when cascading. Some devices respond to the remote control commands normally, and some devices don’t.
   It is recommended to put the equipment together when using the remote control in cascade.

6. How to recover when an error occurs?
   Press the clone key, then press the key. Return to [output copy mode, input single picture] status. When the cascade device settings are synchronized, continue with other settings.

7. What is the default IP address and web login password?
   The default IP address is 192.168.1.192 and the default web login password is admin1

Appendix

When the image is not rotated, the output interface is first up and then down, first left and then right. Please refer to the picture below showing 3×9 mode: When the image is rotated 90°, the output interface is first up and then down, first left and then right as shown below in the 2×9 example:
