Planning a complete display?Let's calculate the system that works with this device together.
Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 768 × 512 pixels with a single card.
- High-density systems on 5 Gbps links (with a controller of the same speed class).
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- Up to 768×512@60Hz for 8-bit and 10-bit video sources; up to 512×480@60Hz for 12-bit video sources
- 5G Ethernet ports on high-density connectors
- Up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data (expandable to 128 groups of serial data)
- Thermal Compensation 2.0, Dynamic Booster, Full Grayscale Calibration and LED Image Booster (color management, precise grayscale, 22bit+)
- HDR10 (SMPTE ST 2084 and SMPTE ST 2086) and HLG
- Frame Rate Adaptive 3.0 for input frame rates from 23 Hz to 240 Hz; Shutter Fit for camera shooting in xR scenarios
- Latency on the receiving card end can be reduced to 1 frame (modules with driver ICs with built-in RAM)
- Dual card backup, loop backup, dual backup of configuration parameters and dual program backup
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 393,216 px.
