An imaging system is provided, the imaging system comprising at least a first and second input modules for distributing respective images and microtile units in communication with each other and the input modules, each of the input modules enabled to exchange command signals with each of the plurality of microtile units and each other in a self-organization process. When input modules encounter one another during the self-organization process, then a system master is designated based on at least one of: which of the input modules was a previous system master: which of the input modules has a newest firmware revision; which of the input modules has already organized a largest number of the microtile units in the self-organization process; and which of the input modules first discovers the other of the input modules.
