Property Panels

This page is the field-by-field reference for every property panel. For how the property panel works in general (when it appears, how edits apply, and what a * means), see Editor Basics.

Raster Size & Unit

Units: Measured in pixels.
Size: Raster (Screen) size as Width x Height measured in pixels.
Refresh rate: The frequency at which the display updates, measured in Hertz (Hz.)
Bit Depth: The number of bits used to represent the color of each pixel, indicating the range of colors available (10-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit, etc.)
Sync Mode: Free Run, Frame Lock, External, Undetermined for the processor.

Horizontal Pixel per V-Stream

The maximum Zone width (in pixels) that a single V-Stream cable can carry. It’s calculated automatically from the Raster’s Height, Refresh Rate, and Bit Depth, and is shown here for reference — it also sets the upper limit on the Width field in a Zone’s own property panel (see Key Concepts).

Snap Function

Snap to Grid: Aligns components to the grid using the top-left corner as an origin point.
Snap to Cabinet: Allows fixtures or cabinets to snap to screens from any direction.

Grid Function

Show Grid: Toggle the visibility of the background grid.
Grid Color: Change the color of the grid.
Grid Size: Adjust the size of the grid cells.

Background

Background Color: Modify the canvas background color.

Property

For the selected component, the following property information will be displayed:

Type: The type of component.
Name: A unique name for the component type within the project.
Address: A unique number assigned to each component’s location.
Chain ID: The daisy chain number based on wiring and data flow.
Display: Indicates which defined display the selected component belongs to in the project.

Pixel Properties

Pixel Count: Total number of pixels within the screen.
Pixel High: Number of pixels available in the vertical direction.
Pixel Wide: Number of pixels available in the horizontal direction.
Raster X: X axis position of the selected component on the raster.
Raster Y: Y axis position of the selected component on the raster.
Sub-Type: A number from 0–254 identifying which configured version of the component this is. See Key Concepts for the full assignment rules.

Zone Properties

Selecting a Zone in the Pixel Layout shows:

Width / Height: The Zone’s size in pixels. Width is capped by the Horizontal Pixel per V-Stream value above.
Raster X / Raster Y: The Zone’s position on the raster.
Display Selection: Which defined display this Zone is assigned to.
Zone Color: The color used to represent this Zone on the canvas.

Selecting a V-Stream Channel in the Wiring Layout shows the same Zone’s Raster Position, Area in Pixels, and Display as a read-only reference — see Key Concepts.

Orientation (Wiring Layout)

For a selected component in the Wiring Layout, rotate it 90° left, 90° right, or reset it back to 0°.

Processor Properties

Selecting a processor in the Wiring Layout shows its Component Type, name Prefix, physical Height and Width, and the number of Ports available for connections.

Display Properties

Selecting a display in the Display Control tab shows:

Settings: Brightness and Gamma.
LED Image Booster: Color Standard and Color Standard Temperature.
Display Mode: Video, Freeze, or Test Patterns.

See Display Control for details on each option.
