How to install Gefen 4K Ultra HD 600 MHz 1×4 Video Wall Controller w/ Audio De-Embedder

1) Prepare your AV setup. Confirm you have a 4K capable source and four HDMI displays ready for wall distribution. Ensure each display is tested individually before wiring into the video wall controller for a smoother initial setup.

2) Connect the input. Use a high-quality HDMI cable to connect the 4K source to the single HDMI input on the Gefen device. Check that the source supports 4K at 60 Hz to maximize the wall’s clarity and performance.

3) Connect the outputs. Run four HDMI cables from the Gefen unit to each display in your video wall configuration. If your installation uses bezel compensation or edge-to-edge content, place the displays in the intended array layout before finalizing cable routing.

4) Route audio. If your venue requires audio from the video content, connect the de-embedded audio outputs to your amplifier or powered speakers. This separation helps deliver clean, synchronized sound without compromising video quality on the displays.

5) Power and configure. Apply power to the controller and your displays. Use the on-screen indicators or any included remote controls to verify input recognition, confirm 4K60 support, and tailor any required EDID or scaling options to ensure consistent wall performance across all four panels.

6) Test and optimize. Run several test videos, test patterns, and real-world content to confirm color balance, brightness, and alignment across the four displays. Make fine adjustments as needed to minimize gaps and ensure uniform image quality across the video wall.
