isn’t grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded one.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding pin.
HELIOS LED Processing Platform - USER GUIDE v
Repairing
The HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to
replace or repair any components inside the equipment. If the equipment needs service, contact the
company that provided or installed the equipment. If you open the equipment or install items, you risk
damaging the equipment. Such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on the equipment.
Medical Device Interference
HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment contains components that emit electromagnetic elds, which
may interfere with pacemakers, debrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation
between your medical device and equipment. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for
information specic to your medical device. If you suspect equipment is interfering with your pacemaker or
any other medical device, stop using the equipment.
Medical Conditions
If you have a medical condition that could be affected by using HELIOS Processing equipment (i.e., seizures,
blackouts), consult with your physician prior to using HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment.
High-Consequence Activities
HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment is not intended to be used where failure could lead to death,
injury, or severe environmental damage.
Explosive Atmospheres
Using HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere (i.e.
where the air contains high levels of ammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal
powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs and instructions.
Using Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port. When connecting a device, make sure the port is free of debris, that the
connector matches the port, and that you have oriented the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Storing the Equipment
If you are going to store the HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment for an extended period of time,
keep it in a cool and dry location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).
HELIOS LED Processing Platform - USER GUIDE vi
Cleaning the Equipment
When cleaning the outside of the HELIOS LED Processing Platform equipment and its components, rst shut
down the equipment, then unplug all cords and cables. Use canned air such as ‘Turbo Blast’ by ACL Staticide
Inc. or a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the equipment exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do
not spray liquid on the equipment. Do not use sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners.

System Components
The HELIOS LED Processing Platform has been designed to support high density display products for use in pro A/V,
broadcast, and production applications. The HELIOS Processor is compatible with video sources that have up to 8K
resolution (i.e media servers, production network switchers, and broadcast cameras). The HELIOS system will
automatically integrate system components as they are connected or replaced.
The HELIOS system consists of a Processor unit and one or more network switches. The HELIOS Processor is designed to
be located near the video source. It provides the point of video ingest for the source video which it converts into a ber
signal. The HELIOS Processor is also responsible for serving the web based user interface (web UI) that is the user
interface of the system. The network switches carry both the video signal and the communication signals to and from from
panels. As such, there is information passing in both directions on the HELIOS ber link that can be up to 10km in length.

Processor Overview
The HELIOS Processor is a one RU (1.75”) tall rack mount unit that can receive video in resolutions up to 8K and outputs
that video as a proprietary stream to compatible video panels (Figure 2).
The HELIOS Processor is capable of receiving HDMI, DisplayPort, and SDI signals. The HDMI and DisplayPort inputs are
designed to be modular. Alternate combinations of DisplayPort and HDMI inputs can be supported in the near future (i.e.
two DisplayPort, or two HDMI). Contact your Megapixel VR representative for more details. SDI inputs are provided by
four Megapixel VR SFP+ units which can receive quad 12G SDI. The default processor conguration consists of (1) x
HDMI, (1) x DisplayPort and (4) x SDI.
The system is congured remotely via a web UI that can be hosted on a laptop or tablet running Chrome or Safari
browsers. The input image can be scaled up or down to suit LED panel congurations and also has all the common
controls for brightness, gamma, color temperature, etc.

Processor Front Panel
Figure 3: HELIOS Processor front.
Conguration Interface - on the front of the HELIOS Processor is an LCD display and a turn/push knob interface.
Air Inlets - slots to the left and right of the LCD display are ltered vents for chassis airow.
Processor Rear Panel
Figure 4: HELIOS Processor rear.
Control Port - On the left side is an Ethernet port. This port should be used to place the processor on the system control
LAN. A laptop might directly connect, or in larger systems a wireless router connects here.
Video Input Connectors - The video inputs of the HELIOS Processor are modular. At the center of the unit is a removable
plate that houses the removable input boards. Currently the HELIOS system has support for both HDMI and DisplayPort.
Video Input Indicators - Next to each video input connector is a small LED that indicates the status of each link.
SFP+ Inputs - (4) SFP+ slots provide inputs for SDI over coax. Each input takes a Megapixel 12G SFP+ for up to 12G SDI.
See the capabilities chart in Appendix A for details.
SFP+ Outputs - Eight Megapixel 10G ber SFP+ units provide the main data signal for the display.
External Sync - A BNC connector to the right of the ber outputs, allows the HELIOS Processor to receive genlock timing
signals.
