Dip switch settings
A LED Pixelboard video display matrix may consist of up to 16 controllers or 16 individual grid sections in
various pattern configurations. Each controller must be addressed according to your configuration so that
the video appears whole and intact. Two internal dipswitches (JP1 & JP2) are addressed according to your
system layout and configuration.
Open the controller to change the Dipswitch settings.
1 Panel is 16 pixels on your PC screen.
So 8 x 6 panels ( 4 x 3 meters) = a resolution of 128 x 96 pixels in Windows XP.
JP1:
Sets the total width one driver will display. The width can be described in either number of panels or pixel
resolution. Possible widths include 1 to 6 panels or 16 to 96 horizontal pixels
JP2:
Sets the starting vertical line from which this driver will begin to display video. Remember that a matrix may
consist of multiple sections across, so in order to display video correctly you will need to set starting
address for each section handled by a driver.
JP1 Dipswitches
JP1 dipswitches have their own unique addressing method. For example setting dipswitch 3 to ON adds 32
values to the counter while setting 11 to ON subtracts 16.
