Calculate
Best suited for
- Driving a cabinet or module group of up to 512 × 384 pixels with a single card.
- Permanent installations that need temperature / voltage monitoring.
Key features (manufacturer)
- 8 HUB320 connectors; up to 32 groups of parallel RGB data or 64 groups of serial data
- Maximum load capacity per card: 512×512@60Hz for PWM driver ICs, 512×384@60Hz for common driver ICs
- Color management (Rec.709 / DCI-P3 / Rec.2020 and custom gamuts) and 18bit+ (grayscale improved by 4 times)
- Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration, quick adjustment of dark or bright lines, multi-batch adjustment
- 3D with a controller that supports it; individual gamma adjustment for RGB; 90° image rotation
- Mapping 1.0, temperature and voltage monitoring, cabinet LCD support, bit error detection
- Loop backup, dual backup of configuration parameters and dual program backup
- Input voltage DC 3.8 V to 5.5 V, rated power consumption 2.5 W
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 196,608 px.This figure is for modules with conventional driver chips; the datasheet states 262,144 px for modules with PWM driver chips.
