Workflow: Creating a Video Display
Planning
On an architectural drawing or other diagram depicting the layout of the installation, identify the physical
placement of each network switch, data / power supply, cable, and fixture. Indicate the placement of each
device in the plan and assign IP addresses accordingly. Later, when unpacking components, physically label
each device with its unique name and IP address, then record the information in a spreadsheet or list. The
spreadsheet or list will help you save time when addressing fixtures and mapping the installation with VMT.
Mapping the Installation
To display video on your Philips Ethernet lighting installation, you must create a map of the installation
that identifies each node, so that each node can be associated with a pixel in the source video. VMT enables you
to rapidly map up to 250,000 nodes.
Loading Maps
Use the VSE Pro hardware to select and load the map files that you created using VMT.
Testing and Troubleshooting
Use VMT to test and troubleshoot your map prior to installation or following installation. Then, use VSE Pro
to enhance video output quality using a variety of features. See the VSE Pro User Guide for details.
