Step 3     Set Cabinet Row Qty and Cabinet Column Qty according to the actual 

situation of the screen;

Step 4     Set Port1 Cabinet Qty. The device has some limitations on the cabinet 

quantity of ports. For details, see precautions for screen settings;

Step 5     Set the Data Flow (Front View). Pay attention to precautions for screen 

settings c), d) and e) below.

Precautions for screen settings:

a

If the number of ports 

with loads is n (n≤4), the first 

n-1 ports must load the same 
number of cabinets, which must 
also be an integral multiple of 
the number of cabinet rows or 
columns and be greater than or 
equal to the number of cabinets 
for the nth ports.

Example:
For example, if port 1, port 2, port 3 have loads, 
port 1 and port 2 must have the same number of 
cabinets, which must also be an integral multiple 
of the number of cabinet rows or columns. 
Therefore, you only need to set port 1 cabinet Qty 
according to the actual situation when setting the 
screen. The number of receiving cards port 3 loads 
must be smaller than or equal to port 1.

b

In the case of special-shaped cabinets, different cabinet sizes and special-

shaped screen, the NovaLCT-Mars software is required to be connected to configure 
the screen.

c

During Data Flow setting, you can rotate the button to see the effects of 

different data flow on the screen in real time. If you are satisfied with the effect of 
current data flow, you must press the button to save the setting. You can press the ESC 
to exit from the current operation.

d

During Data Flow setting, you must ensure that the data flow of each port is 

downward in the same direction.

e

During Data Flow setting, you must ensure that Port 1 is the start position of 

the whole data flow connection.
VX4 can load 2.3 million (2048x1152@60Hz) pixels in maximum. The width of lateral 
load can reach to 3840 pixels in maximum (3840x600@60Hz); the longitudinal load 
can reach to 1920 pixels in maximum (1920 x1200@60Hz).
