Cable And Controller Layout And Design; Controller Limitations - Christie Velvet Apex A2L Series Installation And Setup Manual

Cable and controller layout and design

Before an array is constructed, you must plan the design layout of the tiles to make sure that the
controller placement and the cabling layout support the overall tile design objectives.
The LED display system offers considerable flexibility in terms of the number of media sources that
can be displayed and the overall resolution. Color and brightness matching, as well as other functions,
may be performed across an entire array.

Controller limitations

Each controller can support a maximum number of tiles, which varies depending on the pixel pitch of
the tiles in the array. The configuration to achieve an HD display differs by the pixel pitch of the tile, as
outlined in the table below.
