Skip to content Quick setup for a Single online processor connected to cabinets:
- Power on the installed Processor and LED Screens
- Set the Processor IP to be automatically retrieved
- Launch the Saco Display Director.
- Create a new Project, Name the Project and choose a local folder to save your project. Refer to the example below:
- Select your activated Device from the Project View pane. Press the Add Processor. (In addition; you can start with an offline design and assign it to an online device later on.)
Pixel Layout: Defining Cabinets, Wires and Zones
- Cabinet size and Zone delegation. Set the raster size based on resolution, refresh rate, bit depth, and Sync Mode. This would automatically calculate the total Zone size.
- Using the Component Library’s presets, select the screen variant. The Quick Batch pop-up offers customizable options to fine-tune the generated grid.
- Once the cabinet is confirmed in the Quick Batch Pop-up, select all cabinets with the mouse or the shortcut: Ctrl+A (if no cabinets are already selected). The spread, alignment and offset options are also available. Clicking the Auto-Zoning button enables automatic wiring and zone distribution. The taskbar also includes an option to display wiring chain numbering for easier reference.
- Selecting a Zone gives access to the Property pane, where the size, color and position can be modified.
Wiring Layout : Cabling to the Processor and Cabinet
- Each zone or V-Stream can only be connected to one output of the processor. The connection diagram can be done automatically by clicking on “Generate Logic Connection”. Referring to the example below, a connection using an SFP+ and fiber receiver has been selected.
- Validate the design by clicking on “Run Diagnosis” for project validation. By selecting “Auto Diagnosis,” both the Pixel and Wiring layouts will be checked, and any errors will be flagged. If an error occurs, Auto Diagnosis will suggest solutions until the status is green to continue.
- Now that the design is validated, click “Connect & Upload” tab to upload the DMON and JSON file to the server. You should receive a confirmation message indicating that the upload was successful.
- In the Processor Control section, you can select the Input source from the processor and begin adjusting the RGB values, scaling and/or cropping the Input image. This can be done interactively by entering the data in the right panel, seen below.
- Once the input source size is configured, the output source can also be scaled. In this case shown, the output source is adjusted to fit the cabinet size.
- In the Display tab, you can test various features on the screens, such as adjusting the brightness, gamma and even engage an LED Image Booster.
