Mosaic Warp Wall

Overview

The Warp Engine Transmitter adds the ability to rotate video in 0.1-degree increments and display on any Receiver in the system. Set it to view another Transmitter to have it rotate/scale the video and output the altered video to any Receiver in the system. Use it to build a Mosaic Video Wall at any angle from 0.0 to 359.9 degrees.

The Warp Engine Transmitter is a combination Transmitter-Receiver unit made of one (1) Transmitter and one (1) Receiver. Mount it in the main equipment rack and connect both network ports to the Just Add Power switch.

Commands

All commands are sent via telnet to the IP address of the Transmitter and appended with a carriage-return.
Commands are case-sensitive.
