13. I- AV & Data Cables
RS232C
RS232 was first introduced in 1962 by the Radio Sector of the American Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).
RS232 uses a serial connection, an interface through which information transfers in or out one bit at a time.
RS232 connections have been superseded by USB, but they still offer a simple and cheap method of communicating with devices for control, configuration and diagnostic purposes.
The RS232C In/Out connection ports can be used to create a data link between the screens.
This then allows the screens to be remotely controlled using Samsung’s MDC (Multi Display Control) software.

14. I- AV & Data Cables Ethernet RS232/Ethernet Mix
A data connection can be created using an Ethernet cable to each display screen.
Each display screen will be assigned a unique IP address, therefore network switches will be needed for larger installations.
RS232/Ethernet Mix
It is possible to create a data loop using a mixture of Ethernet and RS232 cabling.
An Ethernet cable is connected from a DHCP server (commonly a router) to the first screen. The data loop is then continued with RS232 cables

15. I- AV & Data Cables USB External Audio System Name: Signal: Function:
Universal Serial Bus
Signal:
Digital Data
Power
Function:
Firmware updates
Basic content scheduling
External Audio System
When using LFDs in a video wall configuration, audio will be played using the internal speakers of the first screen ONLY, unless looped using DP. No audio is passed to the other screens when using a DVI loop-through configuration.
To output the audio to an external audio system, a 3.5mm stereo audio cable can be connected to the Audio out jack of screen one.

16. Digital Rights Management
I- AV & Data Cables
Digital Rights Management
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
HDCP is a 56bit industry standard content protection standard developed by INTEL
The system is meant to stop encrypted content from being played on unauthorized devices or devices which have been modified to copy HDCP encrypted content. Before sending data, a transmitting device checks that the receiver is authorized to receive it. If so, the transmitter encrypts the data to prevent eavesdropping as it flows to the receiver. HDCP compatible cables include DP, HDMI and some proprietary DVI cables.
Display Port Content Protection
DPCP was developed by PHILIPS for use with Display Port technologies and is using a 128bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Alongside the traditional content protection technologies, DPCP also has the ability to verify the proximity of the receiver and transmitter, a technique intended to ensure users are not bypassing the content protection system to send data out to distant, unauthorized users.
For HDCP support devices (BlueRay, DVD, …); No loop out active
For DPCP support devices (BlueRay, DVD, …); Loop out for 8 LFDs max.

- It is strongly recommended that ambient temperature is under 30 ℃ for video-wall installation.
- Considerable amount of heat is added to the upper units.
 internal T of uppermost unit is 5 ~ 10 ℃ higher than the lowest unit.
(Even there is adequate distance from the wall)
※ For more than 6 rows, auxiliary air conditioning system will be required.

31. III- Data & Video Looping
DVI Looping
A/B Series- It is theoretically possible to link 100 screens using DVI loop, however, in practice it is advised not to exceed a maximum loop of around 20 screens without the addition of distribution amplifiers (DAs)
- Easy Setting for Simple Video wall
* Without Network model
* OSD ID setting
DVI: Recommended not to exceed 16 LFDs connection
DP: Can reach up to 100 LFDs with much faster response time than DVI
DVI/DP out
DP Looping
C Series and up LFDs allow looping using DP cables, but will be limited to linking a maximum of 8 screens incase of license restrictions (HDCP, DPCP)
