Creating New LCD Project
While creating new project, suppose the screen type is LCD, after set file
name and save location, click the right arrow to next setting, as shown in the
image:
No. of screens
can be set here,
namely:number of output port. Take 12 as an example, set the screen number as 12,
several kinds of combination will be offered(No. of row x No. of column, eg. 3×4
means 3 row x 4 column). Select proper combination,and convert the seam of
LCD into pixels, fill in the seam table below, click next, the software will build
output screen automatically, as shown in below image.
47
Send output Settings
After all the output set, need to send the output of upper machine to the
stitching machine. Meanwhile, the sub menu can be called in the stage of
output setting, and select “Send output Settings”.
New Screen Delete Screen Delete All Screens Screen Property Download Output Settings
Add new display screen Delete selected screen Delete all screens Open selected screen properties dialog Send current screen data to stitching machine, the machine shall equip all the function of output port; This process will continue for a while, please do not send duplicate output settings, in case increasing the pending time.
48
Layer Placement
After output setup completed, switch “layer settings” TAB of the stage type,
all the screen will display as green dotted box and locked to be not editable.
Then the layer can be put on the stage,that is image display configuration.
Only after the configuration, related image can be displayed on the displayer
or LED Screen. Click on “input resource” on navigation window, menu shown as
below image will come out:
Drag the image input port to be displayed to the stage with mouse, and place
it on the output display area of the screen, then the image can be seen on the
display or LED screen, the image can dragged directly to change size or
position.
Open the layer list window (shown as pictured above) In the navigation window, drag the layer to be displayed to the stage with mouse or double click related layer switch position, turn the OFF to ON. The value of input source, horizontal starting, vertical start, width, height and transparency in the layer list can be edit by double click the mouse regardless the layer switch is ON or OFF. Therefore,if familiar, we can set the properties first and then double click the layer switch position to switch OFF state to ON
49
Save Project
After the above process is completed and the lower machine output image
normally, it shall be saved. Select and click “Save Project” in the “File”
menu, and setup the project name and path, and finally click “save”. As shown
in below figure:
Actually we have already saved project file during the construction.In general, we don’t need to save the project deliberately,normally exit PC program after setup is OK, because the upper computer software will save the current project in normal exit. Default project file name is computer local time when creating new project, so user may not clear which one is a project file. Thus, after satisfied with the project Settings, we canuse the save project function to save the project in local computer with a more reasonable name and path separately, so that we can easily find it in future.
50
Open Project
Click “Open Project” in “File” menu, and select project file in the dialog
box, and click “Open”, shown as below figure:
All the hardware configuration information of the splicing device and users
setting data are saved in the project file. That’s offers quick switch between
avarietyof applications for the splicing device

Deepen Understanding
Relation between stage, stitching parameters and screen parameters
Suppose there is a input image, shown as below figure :
Four output screen grouped in the form of 2 x 2 and set the height same as width in stitching parameters, then the stage shown as below:
Drag the input image into a stage as layers or signal source, and set the size, location to fulfill the four output screen, as shown in the figure below:
52
Summary
To sum up, the stage is used to present, place all display area, as well as
the input image, when he input image overlap with any display area on the
stage, the overlap area will display on related output screen. And stitching
parameters is what just described. Screen parameters, no signal on the stage,
that means screen parameter is related to the display Settings.Detailed
speaking, screen parameters only defines what resolution of the video should
be output to the display, and which area the image captured by the display
stage shall be displayed in the screen. People ever used LED screen can
understand why setup like this better. With above principle, users of LED
screen can easily realize tiled display of different screens with different
pixel pitch, and with above principle, users of LCD screen can easily realize
tiled display of different screens with different physical size and
resolution.
