TESSERA - V3.0 | USER M ANUAL - REV B | 2.2 - SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2.2 - SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Tessera system can be controlled locally using a m onitor, keyboard and m ouse connected

directly to a Tessera LED Processor. Alternatively, you can use the Tessera Rem ote software on a

Windows PC or Mac connected to the processor via a Gigabit Ethernet network. The Tessera

Rem ote software can be used in Offline Editor m ode, to allow preparation of project files

without a processor.

The processors have an integral DisplayPort (DP++) output and USB ports for local control and

m onitoring. Each Tessera output can be distributed using standard Gigabit Ethernet switches or

fibre optic transceivers.
