To set up a multiscreen layout, like 3 screens in a row we always recommend installing on a mount dedicated to this purpose for easy alignment of the screens. Contact Nordicscreen for recommendations on products for your specific need, make sure you have amount of screens, size of screen(49" for example) as well as the orientation and desired matrix (always width first)- 2x2, 4x1.
Set up your player as follows:
1. Ensure your screen can handle 1920x1080@60fps input.
2. Connect the screens to the player and boot the player
3. Close Q-Play software by pressing F4 and transfer the file attached to this guide, NordicscreenFHD EDID.bin to the computers downloads folder.

7. Under Select Source choose "From File":
8. Click the button "Browse EDID Files" and choose the NordicscreenFHD EDID.bin file
9. Click the red "Apply" button
This ensures that the player will not output more than FHD resolution ensuring smooth operation, and will also ensure that the player will always see the screens as attached even if one is missing physically making this setup very robust.
