5.2.2 High Setting

In Screen Management interface, click “High Setting” to enter the High Setting-Send Card interface, the parameter can be set up according to your demand.

Fig.5-5

In general, users only need to set up the sender card resolution and network port control area in so many parameters

• Sender Card Resolution:Send card resolution must be consistent with the graphics card or video processor output.

• Network Date Types:The software default is “Standard Frame”; please consult professional and technical personnel if you want changing.

• Adjust Brightness Based on Multi-function:Check it if you need multifunction’s light sensorautomatically adjusts the LED screen’s brightness.

• DVI Information: The parameters automatically collect by the software from the sender card.

• Could By Pass Switch: When the gigabit switches as transfer equipment, then required checking this

• Output Frame Rate: the software default is “Every Frame”, please consult professional and technical personnel if you want change to “Every Other Frame”

5.2.3 Screen Parameters

Observe the display screen with single cabinet as unit, if all cabinets display normally (the picture between cabinets is not continuous but also as normal), please ignore this step directly into next step.

Otherwise, enter the following configuration:

The first step: Click “Configure Select One...” to enter LED setting interface, then click “Load” to select the correct parameter file for your led display

5.2.4 Connection Parameters (Look From Front)

In Classic Mode, LED screen need set up the Receiver (Receiving card) connection relationship for each network port of the sending card.

1. Receiver Lay out Setting

Set how many Receiver (Receiving card)one port managersin Row Count and Col Count(3*3 as an example), how many pixels one Receiver (Receiving card)manages in Width and Height (64*64 as an example), in the software interface right you will see led display mapping area (Viewing from the front of led display).(As shown in Fig.5-7)

Fig.5-7

2. Receiver Card Parameters Setting

Configuration Receiver (Receiving Card) connection pattern for each port individually if more than one port are used. There are two methods to set up.

Note: Set up connection Receiver (Receiving Card) must be based on fact.

• Use Mouse Select One By One

Based on the actual connection of theEthernet cable, click the Receiver (Receiving card) one by one until the last one for this network port loads, connection lines will show in the display mapping area (Viewing from the front of led display)(As shown in 5-8)

Fig.5-8

• Connection Pattern

Select the connection pattern based on fact, and then the connection line will show Receiver (Receiving card) in the display mapping area. (As shown in 5-9)

Fig.5-9

If some Receiver (Receiving card) manage different quantity ofpixels from others, specificReceiver (Receiving card) Size inWidth and Height can be set individually.

3. Save to Receiver Cards & Save to Sender Cards

The first step: Click “Save to Sender Cards” > select port, then send the parameter to sender card

The second step: Click “Save to Receiver Cards” >select port, to send the parameter to receiver cards of this port load, at this moment, this port load all cabinets should display normally (the picture between cabinets is not continuous but also as normal)
