Display Power
Overview
Each 400 W power supply powers
12 modules in BLD series billboards.
In most cases, the module power
path follows the signal path.
the power system in an individual
display section.
Power to the display section enters
into the power entrance and is
redistributed to the power supplies.
Refer to the layout drawing for
display-specific power distribution.
Display Signal
Overview
for display-specific signal routing.
Signal is sent from the DMP-8000 to the VIP-5160. The VIP-5160 sends signal to the PLR,
which sends the signal to the first module in the section. From that module, the signal is
sent to the other modules in the section. The PLR not only sends signal to the first module
in the chain but also receives signal from the last module in the chain and creates a
redundant signal path.
