      Video tearing
      Using a mixture of frame rates and/or resolutions can cause video tearing. For best results, make sure all your displays use the same frame rate.

   3. OPTIONAL: If you have a CORIOmaster micro™, connect a digital audio device to the S/PDIF audio output.

   4. Power on your CORIOmaster.

8. Add a window and scale it to cover the whole video wall.

   Select Wall Editor > (WINDOWS) Add, and drag a window onto the wall editor. Drag the edges until it covers all of your displays. Select Take to send the video wall to your CORIOmaster.

   

   

   

9. Check that your video wall looks correct.

   Make sure that the source for the window is playing, and check that the picture is assembled correctly.

   

   Not the source you were expecting, blue screen, display keeps dropping signal, or no image.

   Possible causes:

   • Source connected incorrectly
   • Input ports named incorrectly
   • Source not playing
   • Source resolution not supported
   • Display does not support HDCP
   • Source does not support the required number of HDCP keys
   • Poor quality or damaged cables

   

   Source correct, connected, and playing.

   Image appears in the wrong places.

   Possible causes:

   • Displays arranged incorrectly in CORIOgrapher
   • Output ports named incorrectly
   • Displays connected incorrectly

   

   Source and displays connected and arranged correctly.

10. Repeat step 7 to add windows for all of your sources. Check that all your sources and displays work as expected.
