RGB Spectrum DLO 2900 – Dual-Link DVI Option, Two Outputs

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum DLO 2900 is the dual-link DVI output option for the MediaWall 2900 display processor, providing two dual-link DVI outputs on the host chassis. It is specified where a video wall or projection system needs WQXGA-class resolution per output rather than the standard single-link ceiling. RGB Spectrum publishes two dual-link outputs for the MediaWall 2900 along with a dual-link clock rate of 165 to 330 MHz, and cites overlapped outputs for two edge-blended projectors. Order the DLO 2900 when a MediaWall 2900 in a control room or command centre has to drive high-resolution or edge-blended displays.

Product Description

The MediaWall 2900 is an embedded multi-window video wall processor with a maximum configuration of 24 inputs, 8 windows and four single-link outputs. The dual-link option changes the output side of that equation. In the MediaWall 1900/2900 specification table RGB Spectrum records "Outputs — DVI dual-link: 2 (MW2900)" and an output clock rate of 165 to 330 MHz for dual-link, and the MediaWall brochure records maximum dual-link resolution as up to 2560x1600p and 1920x2160p per output.

That 1920x2160 figure matters for portrait video wall geometry: a single dual-link output can drive a tall portrait canvas rather than being cut at single-link limits. RGB Spectrum's announcement of the option states "MediaWall 2900: Two DVI Dual-link outputs" supporting 2560x1600 (WQXGA), notes that "four 720P sources, at native resolution, fit nicely into a single 2560x1600 output", and adds that for two edge-blended projector applications the MediaWall 2900 delivers overlapped outputs. Edge blending across two projectors from one processor is the application that most often drives this option in an auditorium or briefing space.

The host MediaWall 2900 is a separate chassis and is not ordered through this page, so confirm the installed output configuration before placing an order for the option. Two related spares belong on the same bill of materials: the 860 9843 redundant hot-swappable power supply, which RGB Spectrum publishes as a redundant hot-swappable supply for this chassis family, and the 920 10104 replacement filter pack for scheduled maintenance on MW 2900, MW 1900 and SV 4100 chassis. For a legacy analog monitor fed from a DVI-I output, the 520 7885 DVI-I to VGA output adaptor is the published RGB Spectrum part. RGB Spectrum does not publish a datasheet under the DLO 2900 designation, so confirm output count, cabling and installation route with Creation Networks before ordering.

Key Features

• Two Dual-Link DVI Outputs — RGB Spectrum records two dual-link DVI outputs for the MediaWall 2900, so both halves of a two-display or two-projector system gain the higher resolution.
• WQXGA-Class Resolution — Published maximum dual-link resolution is up to 2560x1600p per output, which suits a high-resolution monitor or projector.
• Portrait-Capable Geometry — The MediaWall brochure also records 1920x2160p per output on dual-link, which fits a tall portrait canvas from a single output.
• Edge-Blended Projection — RGB Spectrum states that for two edge-blended projector applications the MediaWall 2900 delivers overlapped outputs.
• Native-Resolution Source Density — The vendor announcement notes that four 720P sources at native resolution fit into a single 2560x1600 output.
• Higher Output Clock Rate — The published dual-link output clock rate is 165 to 330 MHz, against 25 to 165 MHz for single-link.
• Ordered as a Discrete Part Number — Because dual-link output is an option rather than standard fitment, it is quoted and tracked separately on a project bill of materials.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — Two high-resolution outputs carry a dense multi-window layout across a supervisory wall.
• Command Center — WQXGA-class outputs keep small map and telemetry detail legible on a large canvas.
• Operations Center — Portrait-capable output geometry suits tall dashboard displays in a continuously staffed room.
• Auditorium — Two edge-blended projectors driven from overlapped outputs create a single wide image for a large audience.
• Government Space — A documented factory output option keeps the installed configuration traceable in a procurement record.
• Broadcast Studio — A high-resolution review wall holds multiple native-resolution sources for simultaneous monitoring.
• Multi-Purpose Room — A room that alternates between projection and flat-panel display benefits from the higher per-output resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many dual-link outputs does the DLO 2900 provide?
Two. RGB Spectrum records "Outputs — DVI dual-link: 2 (MW2900)" in the MediaWall 1900/2900 specification table, and its announcement of the option states "MediaWall 2900: Two DVI Dual-link outputs".

What resolution does each dual-link output support?
The MediaWall brochure records up to 2560x1600p and 1920x2160p per output on dual-link, and the announcement cites 2560x1600 (WQXGA).

Does it support edge-blended projection?
RGB Spectrum states that for two edge-blended projector applications the MediaWall 2900 delivers overlapped outputs. Confirm the blend geometry and projector timing with Creation Networks during design.

Is the dual-link output HDCP compliant?
RGB Spectrum publishes HDCP compliance for MediaWall 1900/2900 inputs but does not publish an HDCP statement for the dual-link output mode of this chassis. Confirm protected-content handling with Creation Networks before commissioning.

Can the option be added to a MediaWall 2900 already installed?
RGB Spectrum publishes no field-installation instructions or datasheet under this part number. Contact Creation Networks with the chassis configuration so the correct ordering route is confirmed.

Is there an equivalent option for the SuperView 4100?
Yes, ordered under its own part number. See the DLO 4100 dual-link DVI output option, which RGB Spectrum describes as one dual-link output.

What spares should be quoted at the same time?
The 860 9843 redundant hot-swappable power supply and the 920 10104 replacement filter pack both cover this chassis family.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number. Creation Networks supports specification, configuration review and procurement, and can route warranty and technical support requests to RGB Spectrum.
