CONTROL COMPONENTS
Image processing, configuration and setting of control functions for the LED displays are done with the PC
program [LED Manager] together with a sending card and a computer. The computer must be equipped with
a Windows operating system and a graphics card with a free DVI or HDMI monitor output. The data is
transmitted from the computer to the display via the optional patch cable (item 51843270). If needed, a
longer standard CAT5e patch cable may be used. In order to build up a large video wall, the sending card
offers two data outputs, each of which connencts up to 320 displays in series (20 horizontally and 16
displays vertically in total). This corresponds to a configuration of 1280 x 1024 pixels. If further pixels are
needed e.g. for a full HD resolution, a second sending card can be used. The system is recommended for
pre-recorded video content. For live show playback, the RGBlink VSP 516 video processor should be used.
PCI Sending Card
1
Status LEDs (red = power supply failure, green = DVI signal is detected)
2
RJ45 ports for connecting the first display in the chain (left jack = U, right jack = D)
3
USB port for connection to the USB port on the computer via the included adapter cable
4
DVI input for connection to the DVI or HDMI output on the computer (DVI cable included)
Video Processor
The RGBlink VSP 516 is a powerful all-in-one signal processor with integrated sending card that accepts a
wide range of video input signals (e.g. PC, HD-DVD or Blu Ray, set-top boxes, game consoles), and
processes them to drive the LED displays. The processor is required as an alternative to the PCI sending
card, for use of other video signals than DVI or HDMI - in particular for live show playback. LED display
configuration and control functions are adjusted from the LED Manager software. It can be used on a PC
that’s connected to the video processor through LAN (TCP/IP), RS-232 or USB connection.
