System Architecture
The Clarity Matrix Video Wall has three main electronic components: the LCD
module, power supply module and the Quad controller module. The LCD module has
a removable interface board, which connects to the off-board power supply and
Quad controller modules. Using external modules produces less heat and allows for
reduced and/or easier service of the LCD module itself.
Some basic points to keep in mind:
• Each Quad controller module controls up to four LCDs
• Modules are linked together by RS485 cables
• The first processor in the A Quad controller module (A1) is the master processor
• The master processor takes in the input from the IR remote sensor and/or the
host RS232 commands
