Page 6: System Overview
www.shsglobal.store Chapter 1 Introduction System Overview The STEALTH system is a modular LED display product that allows for full motion video to be displayed on high resolution STEALTH panels. The STEALTH panels are lightweight and rapidly deployable. A nearly 60 percent transparent design makes it easy for set pieces or even other display devices to remain visible behind it allowing for a number of different creative effects. - Page 7 www.shsglobal.store Chapter 1 Introduction The PDB-3 contains 2 DSUs, each with 4 outputs. The DSU handles the final conversion of the video signal into 16x80 blocks which connect to a column of 5 STEALTH panels. Each STEALTH panel is an individual array of 16x16 pixels. The following figure illustrates the basic signal flow of the STEALTH system.
