Best suited for

  • Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 256 × 256 pixels with a single card.

Key features (manufacturer)

  • Control area 256×256 pixels in full colour; the column can be extended to 1024 pixels for special applications
  • 16 groups of RGBR' outputs and 20 groups of RGB outputs; signal outputs can be extended to 32 groups
  • Supports up to 1/64 scan
  • 8-bit pixel-level calibration in brightness and chromaticity
  • Supports conventional chips, PWM chips, lighting chips and other mainstream chips
  • Loop backup and dual-machine backup with seamless switching
  • Any pumping point and arbitrary data-group offset for freeform, spherical and creative displays
  • Input voltage DC 3.8V-5.5V, rated power consumption 3W

Capacity and loading area

The card receives data over the Ethernet chain and drives the module group inside this area. The cabinet/module load cannot exceed this area or the capacity of 65,536 px.
