reserved for future

DVI/D output for video 

monitor. Essential during 

configuration for defining the 

video region to be sent to the 

PixelArt fixtures.

Video input

IMPORTANT: To achieve best 

quality results from PixelArt 

fixtures, use only digital DVI 

video inputs wherever pos-

sible. 

Analogue VGA input

Digital DVI/D input

Video input resolution and frequency

The link between the Video Mapper and the PixelArt 

fixtures has a maximum bandwidth of 120,000 pixels at 

25Hz (frames per second). This equates to a quarter of an 

800 x 600 video input or just under half of a 640 x 480 

input. The actual portion of the video input that is sent to 

the PixelArt fixtures is determined using the Crop Area set-

tings within the PixelArt Setup Utility (see page 9). 
The Video Mapper automatically takes every third frame 

from the video input. Therefore, the optimum video input 

resolution is 

75Hz

 (in order to achieve an ideal 25Hz (25 

frames per second) output to the PixelArt fixtures).

Supported frequencies

The following frequencies are supported by the Video 

Mapper:
640x480 @ 75Hz
720x576 @ 75Hz
800x600 @ 75Hz
1024x768 @ 75Hz
