7 Operation instruction

The functions of VX4 are powerful with very simple operation, and multiple

operations can be completed with a knob and a return key. The design of more than

one shortcut keys makes operations more efficient.

Generally, the LED display can be used normally, and the brightness is moderate after

conducting the following four steps: Input settings → Screen settings → Brightness →

Output settings. Other menus such as screen control and senior setting can help users

better control LED display.

See the following section for details of operations.

Step1: Input Settings

Set resolution of input source signal. Resolution can be directly set and changed

for digital input interfaces DVI, HDMI and DP. Resolution can only be modified with

other input methods on input devices.

Input resolution can be set in two methods:

Method one: Preset Resolution.

Selection is made in preset resolution of the controller. If there is no preset

resolution, you can select the second method and customize resolution.

rectangle (not special-shaped), cabinet must be regular rectangle and the size of

each cabinet are identical.

Step 1 The screen being power-on, if the cabinet is in normal display, enter into

Step 2; if the cabinet is in abnormal display, first, load the cabinet file, and

Step 2 Return to the “Screen Settings” submenu. Rotate the button to switch to

submenus of other options respectively to perform configurations, as shown

in the following figures:

Cabinet Column Qty

Data Flow（Front View）

Screen Settings

Output Settings

Step 3 Set Cabinet Row Qty and Cabinet Column Qty according to the actual

situation of the screen;

Step 4 Set Port1 Cabinet Qty. The device has some limitations on the cabinet

quantity of ports. For details, see precautions for screen settings;

Step 5 Set the Data Flow (Front View). Pay attention to precautions for screen

settings c), d) and e) below.

Precautions for screen settings:

（a）If the number of ports

with loads is n (n≤4), the first

n-1 ports must load the same

number of cabinets, which must

also be an integral multiple of

the number of cabinet rows or

columns and be greater than or

equal to the number of cabinets

for the nth ports.

Example:

For example, if port 1, port 2, port 3 have loads,

port 1 and port 2 must have the same number of

cabinets, which must also be an integral multiple

of the number of cabinet rows or columns.

Therefore, you only need to set port 1 cabinet Qty

according to the actual situation when setting the

screen. The number of receiving cards port 3 loads

must be smaller than or equal to port 1.

（b）In the case of special-shaped cabinets, different cabinet sizes and special-

shaped screen, the NovaLCT-Mars software is required to be connected to configure

the screen.

（c）During Data Flow setting, you can rotate the button to see the effects of

different data flow on the screen in real time. If you are satisfied with the effect of

current data flow, you must press the button to save the setting. You can press the ESC

to exit from the current operation.

（d）During Data Flow setting, you must ensure that the data flow of each port is

downward in the same direction.

（e）During Data Flow setting, you must ensure that Port 1 is the start position of

the whole data flow connection.

VX4 can load 2.3 million (2048x1152@60Hz) pixels in maximum. The width of lateral

load can reach to 3840 pixels in maximum (3840x600@60Hz); the longitudinal load

can reach to 1920 pixels in maximum (1920 x1200@60Hz).

Setp4: Output Settings

Output settings are divided into three cases:

First one: disable Scaling, i.e., the sizes of output image and input image are the

same, and original scale output is used. If the input resolution is smaller than the LED

display in one direction, LED display may not become bright in this direction; if the

input resolution is greater than the LED display in one direction, the input contents

may not be displayed completely in this direction. This option is applicable to the

application scenarios requiring point-to-point display. Horizontal offset and vertical

offset of images can be set according to the needs, and at this time the displayed

contents may move to the left or top at the LED display.

At this point [Scaling] is disabled.

Second one: Auto Fit� At this point [Scaling] is enabled, and [Auto Fit] is enabled.

When enabling [Auto Fit], the input contents will be fully zoomed to the size of LED

display, and the input contents will be adaptive to the size of LED display. This mode

is suitable for full-screen playback of the contents.
