Chapter 1 Product Introduction

1.1 Overview

The full-color LED splicing display unit adopts thin and die-casting cabinet design. The four cabinets can be spliced into a 2K standard resolution display quickly. The large cabinet design can not only reduce the spliced seams and installation difficulty, but also make the display surface flatter. The device simulates the display application mode with embedded and integrated control system, making it easy to debug. The input signal can be displayed instantly after the corresponding input signal is connected. The remote controller can control the device conveniently. The humanized user interface makes it easy to operate. The device is widely applicable to the medium and small-sized splicing video wall scenes including monitoring centers, seminar rooms, commercial chains places, government and enterprise exhibition halls, etc.

1.2 Product Components

An LED control system includes sending and receiving cards. The sending card packages images and sends them to the receiving card. The receiving card unpackages and processes the images, and then displays the images on the LED display unit.

The center distance between two pixels is called pixel pitch. The smaller pixel pitch results in higher pixel density per unit area, higher resolution and higher cost. For example, P1.2 indicates 1.2 mm pixel pitch.

The product are rack-mount system. Its installation process consists rack installation and cabinet installation. The following two chapters describe how to install the rack and cabinets in details.

About the Cabinets

Load Capability of Network Interfaces

The load capability of a single network interface of the sending card is limited. You can calculate the max load of a single network interface by the following formula.

Max Load of a Network Interface = Pixel Capacity of a Network Interface/Cabinet Resolution

Example

If equipped with a sending card of 650,000 pixels, the max load of a single network interface for a P1.2 cabinet of 480 × 270 resolution is five cabinets.

iNote

You can choose sending cards of different pixels and cabinets of different resolution, and calculate the load capability by the formula.

Load Capability of Power Cords

The load capability of a single power cord is limited. You can calculate the max load of a single power cord by the following formula.

Max Load of a Single Power cord = Power of the Cord/Power of the Cabinet

iNote

You can choose power cords and cabinets of different specifications, and calculate the load capability by the formula.

Interfaces of Embedded Sending Card

An embedded sending card is installed at the center of each cabinet. Refer to the figure and the table below for the interfaces on the sending card.

This figure above takes for example.

Connect Signal Lines

Note

The display is stitched by 16 cabinets of 4 × 4 layout. You can stitch the cabinets and divide them into groups according to your actual needs. For example, you can divide the display into four groups of 2 × 2 layout for each group, and these groups will display images from four different signals respectively.

Steps

1. Choose the screen splicing mode.

2. Automatic splicing: After you set the splicing scale, the screen will be divided into groups at your settings automatically. The division will start from the screen in the upper left corner.

3. Manual splicing: Set the splicing scale and groups manually.
4. Pull the signal lines through the cable holes and connect to the signal input interfaces of sending cards in different cabinet groups.

iNote

- The splicing scale is recommended to be set as 4 × 4 . If you need other settings, please

contact our technical support.

• Figures above are for reference. You can adjust the connection within each cabinet group, as long as the output interface of a cabinet is connected to the input interface of its adjacent cabinet.
• For automatic splicing, connect the input signal from the cabinet in the upper left corner.

Connect Power Cords

Within Max. Load

If the number of cabinets is within the maximum load of the power cord, one power cord is enough to connect the cabinets.

• Internal Connection: Pull the power cords through the cable holes and connect the power cords between two cabinets.
• External Connection: Pull the power cords through the cable holes on the bottom of the first row of cabinets, and connect one end of the cords to the power cords in the upper cabinets and the other end to the external power supply.

Connect Power Cords Cable Holes
