Datapath x4 Video Processor
The Datapath x4 is a stand alone display wall controller that accepts a standard single or dual-link DVI input and can flexibly display this across four output monitors. Each output can be driven as DVI or analog RGB, and can represent an arbitary crop region of the original input image. The output resolution and frame rate does not need to be related to that of the input, as the Datapath x4 display controller will optionally upscale and frame rate convert each cropped region independently.The x4 is now available in 1U rack mount format (438 x 172 x 40mm).

Each output monitor can take its input from any region of the DVI image, since all the required cropping, scaling, rotation and frame rate conversion is handled by the x4 hardware. These regions can overlap to allow any output to replicate another, or they can be configured to support any creative splice of the source material.This allows the support of many non-rectangular screen arrangements with uneven gaps, and any mix of orientations.Dual-link video input will support high resolution pixel-perfect source images for display.
FEATURES
Supports full bezel width and height correction for all types of displays
Ideal for use with edge blending projectors - supports image overlapping
Splits a dual-link DVI, single-link DVI or HDMI* input (* HDMI input requires the optional DVI/ HDMI adapter)
The input EDID is programmable to allow arbitary input resolutions and frame rates
Flexibly drives multi displays, each from any selected region of the input image
Supports both DVI and analog RGB output monitors
Stand alone operation supports auto-detecting of input resolution and output monitor native resolutions. Output screen configuration is defined by internal non-volatile memory
Output configuration is programmable via a USB connection to a PC. Graphical utility allows easy control of cropping, scaling, rotation and gaps
Available in two unit sizes
Datapath x4-1U has an "Output Framelock" button to setup the unit with all four outputs set to exactly the same timings, providing smooth and clear video
Fully configurable when connected to either a Mac or a PC using a USB connection. The Mac configuration is command line only, whereas the PC has command line and a configuration panel application available.
Will accept any in-specification DVI-D input (including dual-link where cabled as such), whether from a PC, Mac, Linux or other DVI-D compliant device. The X4 outputs are DVI-I single link.
