    Concepts and meanings for the items and parameters on the configuration page are as follow.Read the following content before any configuration operation.

    Module Info

    Information about modules will be shown in the Module Info panel after configuration. The

    information includes chip type, resolution, scan rate, data flow direction, decoding and data

    set counts. The last received settings for these parameters will be set as their default values

    next time when this page is opened.

    be shown on the Details Of Module dialog, as in Fig.11. Shown in the Run Line Table is the

    Cabinet Info

    Pixel array size and module cascade direction can be set in this panel. Note that the Regular

    panel is for regular cabinets parameters setting and the Irregular panel is for irregular cabinets

    parameters setting.

    Width/Height

    These two items specify the width and height of the cabinet pixel array. Note that the two

    numbers circled in Fig.12 are the maximum values that can be set, which could also be namedas Maximum Width and Maximum Height.

    Maximum Width

    Maximum width varies with parameters of refresh rate, gray scale levels, and shift clock

    frequency. Normally, the higher the refresh rate is and the finer the gray scale levels are, the

    smaller the maximum width will be; while the higher the shift clock frequency is, the larger

    the maximum width can be. But as the shift clock frequency is limited by driver chips and

    module design, the maximum width is also limited.

    . .

    Maximum Height

    It is related to the module design.

    Fig.12 the Regular panel

    Symmetrical Output

    If selected, the two 50pin output ports of a scan board will work for the left and the right half

    of the cabinet pixel array respectively.

    D clock as the second road extended to 32 sets of data

    If selected, the scan board will provide 32 sets of output data for the cabinet.

    Image Refresh Rate

    This is the rate images shown on a LED display are update. The higher the image refresh rate

    is, the video is more stable for watching.

    Gray Scale

    Normally, 256 levels of gray scale is enough for two-color LED displays, 4096 levels enough

    for indoor full color LED displays, and 16384 levels enough for outdoor full color LED

    displays. And apparently, the more levels the gray scale is divided into, the more exquisite the

    shown images will be.

    Gray Mode

    There two options for Gray Mode, Traditional and Advanced. Traditional mode is for normal

    use and it has lower brightness loss. In Advanced mode, image refresh rate can be greatly

    increased, but the cost is 8% of brightness loss.

    Accelerate Rate

    This parameter is used to increase the image refresh rate. If N is selected, the image refresh

    rate will be increased by N times. For Traditional Gray mode, 1, 2, 4 and 8 are available for N.

    And for Advanced Gray mode, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 are available for N.

    DCLK Frequency

    . .

    This is the shift clock frequency. The shift clock frequency depends on the performance of

    driver chips and the circuit design of the modules. The higher the driver chip performance is

    and the better the module circuit design is, the higher the shift clock frequency can be. A

    higher shift clock frequency will results in a larger pixel array, more gray levels or higher

    refresh rate that a receiver card can support.

    Occupy

    This is the duty cycle for the shift clock. The shift clock frequency can be increased by

    changing this parameter. Normally, the duty cycle should be set as 50%.

    Phrase

    By phrase here refers to the time relation between the shift clock and the corresponding data

    to be shifted. This parameter can be used to eliminate the errors due to the phrase, such as

    image dislocation and flashing pixels.

    Blank Interval

    This is the line blanking interval. This parameter can be used to weaken the decoy. Increase

    the value of this parameter if decoy is serious.

    Line Change Point

    This parameter refers to the time to switch to the next row. It is used in conjunction with

    Blank Interval to weaken the decoy of scan mode LED displays.

    Control End Point

    This refers to the time to end the process for weakening decoy. It is used in conjunction with

    Blank Interval and Line Change Point to weaken the decoy.

    Smart Configuration

    Smart configuration is for automatic detection of the module driven mode and signal flow

    direction. Counts of steps for smart configuration could be different as some of the steps may

    be skipped if certain information is known. Cabinets will be able to work after smart

    configuration is successfully performed.

    Start Position

    This is the upper-left corner of the activated rectangular area of a LED display that is used to

    display images. The default start position is (0,0), which is exactly the upper-left corner of the

    LED display.

    These two parameters in the Scan Board Info panel refer to the width and height of the

    cabinet pixel array. They must be set the same as those set in the Scan Board page.

    Sending Board

    This is the index of the current sending board (transmitter card).

    Port Count

    This is to specify how many RJ45 Ethernet ports of a transmitter card are used. A MSD300

    transmitter card or a MCTRL300 controller has 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports. And a MCTRL500

    controller has 4 RJ45 Ethernet ports.

    Port Arrangement

    This is to specify the layout of the output data from different RJ45 port. For example, if two

    RJ45 ports are used for data output, then the layout of the two data set can be up-down or

    left-right. Obviously, number of different layout varies with the counts of RJ45 output ports.

    Sketch of Port Arrangement

    The sketch diagram of the output layout will be shown once the corresponding index of a kind

    These are the numbers of columns and rows of the scan boards array of the LED display. A

    sketch map of the scan board array will be shown in this page after these two parameters are

    set.

    Reset All

    This is used to reset all cabinet settings and connection settings.

    Sending Board Index

    This is the index of the current sending board (transmitter card).

    Port Index

    This is to specify which RJ45 Ethernet port will be used for data output.

    Back

    Clear all settings related to the last set transmitter card.

    Clear Port

    Clear all settings related to the current RJ45 port.

    Width/Height

    These are the width and height of the pixel array of a scan board.

    Set Blank

    Select this if the current position (pixel array of the current scan board) needs to be left unset.

    The configuration operation is easy. First, set the index as 1 for the receiver card (scan board)

    directly connected to a transmitter card through a RJ45 port and input values for other

    parameters. And then set the index as 2 for the receiver card which is connected to the first

    (index 1) receiver card and also input values for other parameter for the No.2 receiver card.

    Perform the same configuration operation until the last receiver card. The configuration is

    completed now. The pixel array size of the receiver cards can be different from each other,

    and can also be left un-set. After configuration, click corresponding button to send theconfiguration information to the transmitter card or save it in the computer.

    Brightness Adjustment

    Brightness can be adjusted by the slide bar. All together there are 256 levels of brightness.

    Gamma Adjustment

    If Fixed Value is selected, the Gamma coefficient can be any value between 1 and 4. And the

    default value is 2.8. Select Custom to manually define the Gamma table.Color Temperature Adjustment

    Color temperature adjustment can be done in two ways, customization and color temperature

    table. Choose one as you want.

    Customization

    Select Custom and the color temperature can be adjusted through the brightness and current

    gains of Red, Green and Blue components.
