Welcome to Video System Manager Pro

Video System Manager Pro (VSM Pro) is an integrated hardware and software solution designed

for video playback and visual effects display on Ethernet-based LED lighting installations.

•Video System Engine Pro (VSE Pro) controller device, the hardware component, processes

and sends live video to installations comprising up to 250,000 LED nodes. This user guide

provides complete information for configuring and using VSE Pro hardware.

•Video Management Tool (VMT) software, included with VSM Pro, creates video maps that

associate source video pixels with their destination nodes in a lighting system. Refer to the

Video Management Tool User Guide for detailed instructions on how to create a video map.

VSM Pro accepts direct input from external devices including media servers. To accommodate

most sources, Philips offers two versions of hardware. The digital media version supports input

via industry standard DVI and VGA connections; the analog version supports analog input via

BNC composite and S-Video connections.

Key Features

•Ease of use — VSM Pro connects directly to industry standard media sources for video

playback, visual effects editing, storage, scheduling, audio synchronization, and more.

•Compatible with wide-ranging lighting systems from Philips — Create a large-scale LED video

installation without the cost of a conventional video wall.

•Hardware support for small, medium, and large-scale LED layouts — VSM Pro displays video

on installations with up to 250,000 LED nodes.

Introduction

5VSMProUserGuide

•Ethernet control — VSM Pro operates on dedicated Ethernet networks, allowing you to

focus on the creative aspects of lighting design and spend less time on setup.

•

Flexible display capability — VSM Pro supports unconventional installation formats. Paired with

flexible lighting systems from Philips, VSM Pro can display video on curved and three-

dimensional surfaces

•Seamless upgrade from version 1 —

VSM Pro system offers full backwards compatibility

with

Video Management Tool version 1 map files.

•Onboard video source conversion — VSM Pro integrates all required video processing,

eliminating the need for an external video conversion device.

•The latest VSM Pro documentation is available on the web at: www.colorkinetics.com/ls/

controllers/vsmpro/. You can also download documentation directly from the VSM Pro User

Interface, using a PC or Mac installed on your dedicated lighting network (enter 10.1.3.101 in

a web browser to connect with the VSM Pro User Interface).

•To support large-scale installation, VSM Pro uses video maps rather than DMX channels to

send data to the LED nodes in your installation. Refer to the Video Management Tool User

Guide for detailed instructions on how to create a video map.

•Lighting system specification sheets, installation instructions and product guides are available

from the web at: http://www.colorkinetics.com/support/userguides/

•VSM Pro accommodates a variety of lighting network designs by supporting both low-voltage

lighting fixtures and Powercore®fixtures:

– Powercore fixtures work with Ethernet Data Enablers. Powercore fixtures perform

onboard power processing and receive Ethernet data via the Data Enablers.

– Low-voltage fixtures work in unison with Ethernet Power / Data Supplies. Ethernet

Power / Data Supplies blend power processing with data transmission capabilities.

Power / Data Supply and Data Enabler specification sheets and installation instructions are

Chapter 2

System Overview

This chapter describes the recommended planning stages of a VSM Pro implementation and

includes an example of a completed installation.

Planning Stages

Planning the Layout

VSM Pro is compatible with wide-ranging LED lighting systems from Philips, including direct view,

linear, and surface-washing fixtures.

Video installations typically use flexible and rigid linear direct view systems:

•Flex systems allow versatile installation

options as they can be used in a wide range

of two-dimensional and three-dimensional

configurations, including portable video

screens and permanent, building-covering

displays.

Flex systems, including iColor®Flex SL,

iColor®Flex SLX, and eW®Flex SLX are not

constrained by fixture size, shape, or, most

importantly, an architectural space. For

example, if creating a video display that

covers the exterior of a 45-story high rise,

flexible strands can be wrapped horizontally

around the structure at each floor interval.

This method creates discrete lines of video

that, when viewed from a distance, create a

massive three-dimensional video façade.

•Rigid linear systems, including iColor®Accent

Powercore, can create seamless lines of video

on a variety of architectural surfaces.

Linear systems offer the added advantage of

variable display resolution and most types do

not require external power supplies.

Fixture Installation Considerations

VSM Pro accommodates a vast range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional installations,

including unconventional configurations. For example, when mounted to cloth, flexible LED

strands form a portable, hanging video screen that can be folded up and packed in a matter

of minutes. For permanent installations, flexible strands can be intertwined through any grid

material mounted to the exterior of a building. Similarly, theatrical applications could use

three-dimensional shapes created from wire mesh, with strands of flexible fixtures woven

through the shapes to create a unique video medium. Keep these options in mind when planning

your installation.

Power / Data Supply and Data Enabler Installation Considerations

VSE Pro is an Ethernet-based controller. During installation, each PDS and Data Enabler in the

lighting network receives an IP address. Use a logical IP address naming convention for each

device. For example, create IP addresses based on the floor and wing of a building. Record the

IP address and physical location of each device for future reference.

Planning Viewing Distances

The LED nodes in an installation function as video pixels.

As part of the planning process, design a fixture layout that

places nodes close enough together to accommodate video

at acceptable minimum and maximum viewing distances.

Images on an LED video display appear to be sharper to the

human eye as the distance to the display increases. Likewise,

images appear less visible as the distance decreases. The spacing,

or pixel pitch, between LED nodes determines the minimum and

maximum viewing distances for discernible video output.

Note: The viewing calculations and examples listed

below are general guidelines based on video displays using grids of evenly spaced LED

nodes. VSM Pro implementations are not constrained to grid formats. For these

implementations, or for designs where the acceptable level of discernible video may be

more or less demanding, contact Philips Color Kinetics Application Engineering Services

for assistance.

•To determine the minimum viewing distance, multiply the node pitch by 100 distance units.

For example, if the node pitch is 50 mm, the minimum viewing distance is 5 m.

•To determine the maximum viewing distance for discernible video, multiply the screen height

by 20 distance units. For example, if the screen height is 20 m, then the maximum viewing

distance for recognizable video is 400 m.

•LED screens are still visible beyond the maximum viewing distance for discernible video. To

determine the maximum viewing distance that still creates visual impact, multiply the screen

height by 50 units. For example, a 20 m high screen will continue to create visual impact at

1000 m.
