Screen Management
Card-based screen Each screen can be customized to have a different output
resolution from the other screens.
Synchronized output splicing With the help of frame synchronization, the
output images on the same screen are completely synchronized. This enables the
output to deliver smooth playback and perfect image without issues such as
picture stutter, frame loss, image tearing, and noticeable cut lines.
Advanced Features
Multi-Layer A single output card supports up to 4x layers or the entire device
supports up to 8x 4K layers.
Work with CVT8-5G fiber converter to achieve 5G transmission (capable of
loading 2,951,200 pixels in a single Ethernet cable).
– 4x10G fiber output card
Work with CVT10 fiber converter to achieve 1G transmission (capable of loading
650,000 pixels in a single Ethernet cable).
Supports real-time previewing and monitoring of the video source input and LED
screen display status
Supports frame rates of up to 480 Hz (max frame rate is decided by the
screen’s hardware configuration).
Preset For optimal display in various scenarios, users can adjust display
parameters such as layers, brightness, color temperature, and gamma ahead of
time and save them as presets. Users can save up to 128 customizable presets
which can be easily applied or switched with just one click.
No rectangle restriction
No rectangle restriction for irregular screens. This means when calculating
resolutions, blank pixels do not count towards the total capacity. The used
load capacity of Ethernet ports is the sum of the resolutions of all cabinets.
Image Scaling
Each layer supports 4 scaling modes: custom, pixel to pixel, snap to canvas,
and fill screen.

Latency
– Different layers can have different latency settings. The minimum processing
latency of the LED display controller is reduced to 0-frame (less than 1 ms),
achieving low latency without reducing the load.
– Supports additional latency. Users can choose to add zero to two frames of
latency.
Frame Rate Adaptive
Automatically adapt to video inputs with different frame rates ranging from
23.98 Hz to 480 Hz, and support the automatic calculation of optimal screen
parameters based on the input source’s frame rate. This ensures that the
brightness deviation of the screen remains within 5% across different frame
rates. It also supports precise frame rate adjustment in 0.01 Hz increments.
Shutter Fit Automatically adjusts the driver IC parameters according to the
camera shutter angle to fix problems of black lines, grayscale addition, and
grayscale loss during camera shooting in xR scenarios.
Frame Multiplication
– Frame interpolation: Outputs images that are captured from multiple shooting
angles with different backgrounds at the same time. Solid green backgrounds
can also be inserted to allow for easy postproduction adjustments.
– Frequency multiplication: Supports high frame rates of up to 480 Hz. This
feature is to accommodate multiangle camera shooting to improve the screen
performance under the camera.
Users can easily give commands with a gentle touch, making the operation

Notes and Cautions
Notes for Battery
The battery is not intended to be replaced. Disposal of a battery into fire or
a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery
can result in an explosion. Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment can result in an
explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. A battery subjected to
extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of
flammable liquid or gas.
Notes for Installation
The product can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack capable of withstanding
at least four times the total weight of the mounted equipment. Four M5 screws
are required to fix the product. Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer. Reduced Air Flow Installation of the
equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
