I figured this video might be a good reference for people that are trying to understand how to position their slices to use a Datapath X4/FX4

Hey Oaktown, I grabbed a Datapath x4 the other day and have been understanding how it works. I'm wondering if you can explain some gaps I'm having. I currently only have a bunch of Displayport to DVI-D cables.
Seems the datapath might not be getting signal with these cables. I also can't get a test pattern out of it to a monitor using these cables. I don't have any other spares to try at the moment.
I did update the drivers and firmware.
Also using Wall designer's input test images / videos after hitting apply settings in the device window you should see the test image / video?
In terms of getting a display out of resolume, you just set the output to NewTek?
Thanks!
Edit seems my dvi-d to DP cables might be directional. hmmm..

You need a DP to DVI that does DVI-DL if you wanna send 3840x2160@30. Basic rule of thumb, if there is no usb for power, it aint gonna send full res.

I wasn't getting signal because the cable dvi to dp cable was directional meaning meant to go dp to dvi.
Anyways got a 2560x1600 dual link dvi cable at the micro center and works fine. My 1080ti has a dvi out on my vj rig so no need for powered adapters unless 4k @ 60hz is achievable. Also bought a single link dvi to hdmi cable to test with before I buy 3 more. Everything works fine so far.
The micro center doesn't carry any cables that did 4k so I ordered one to see how that goes. But I resolved getting resolume to send a signal and such.
But thanks for the info if one day I need to go DP to the data path and I don't have a Hx4 or Fx4 by then.
