Portrait-Oriented Video Card Setup

Important

Very few users require portrait orientation for their video wall. It is not recommended to experiment with portrait vs. landscape display as reverting to landscape may require re-installation.

To set up an Alpha FX video card for portrait orientation:

  1. Click the user icon in the top right and select Admin.
  2. On the side menu, click Alpha FX.
  3. On a video card listing with the status Finish Setup, click the
     icon immediately to the left of video card label. 
  4. Click Finish Setup in the subsequent pop-up menu.

  5. Choose the Advanced configuration option. If the card was preconfigured in Windows, click the checkbox next to Video Card is Preconfigured.

    Warning

    If the video card is preconfigured, please ensure that your selections in this workflow match your card's configuration. An erroneous selection here is not revertible within the user interface.

    The Advanced option allows for custom configuration. The results may vary depending on each user’s unique system components. Advanced configuration must be used to create portrait-oriented display.

  6. Populate the Output Width (px), Output Height (px), and Output Refresh Rate (Hz), then click Next.
    Portrait Output Configuration

    For portrait orientation, output height must be greater than output width.

  7. Enter a Canvas Name, and verify the displayed grid appears as expected.
