Please note the following important rules and conventions:

• Pressing any of the buttons in the Menu Keys Section takes you directly to the

top level of the selected menu.

• The top line names the current menu, in all capital letters.

• Subsequent lines typically display two fields:

~ For a listed function, the left-hand field names the function and the right-

hand field is the function’s current parameter or value.

~ For a listed sub-menu, the left-hand field names the sub-menu that you

can access, and the right-hand field displays the double arrow (>>),
indicating that a sub-menu is available.

• The “navigation” cursor (>) in the left-hand column indicates the current line on

which action can be taken. This arrow “scrolls” as you rotate the knob.

• Scrolling:

~ Turn the ADJUST knob counter-clockwise (CCW) to scroll down.

~ Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise (CW) to scroll up.

• To enter a sub-menu, scroll to the desired line and press SEL.

programming procedures are identical.

Important

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a VESA standard data format that contains
information about a display device and its capabilities, including the preferred (and the
allowed) resolutions of the device.

Please note:

This menu is designed for advanced users only. Do not
reprogram the EDID unless it is necessary.

• LED-PRO’s EDID file is stored in non-volatile memory.

• The EDID file is read by a computer's DVI graphic card when its DVI output is

connected to LED-PRO's channel 1 DVI-I input connector during boot-up.

• LED-PRO must be powered on first for the EDID information to be read.

 Use the following steps to program EDID:

1. Ensure that there are no cables connected to LED-PRO's DVI-I input and loop
through connectors.

The Setup Wizard allows users to quickly set up and align a basic LED display — without
the need of the Director Toolset. The Wizard automatically guides the user through the
entire setup process, including:

• Wall detection (type and size)

• Addressing and positioning tiles

• Aligning LED-PRO’s output resolution to match the wall

• Wall contrast and gamma adjustment

Please note the following important points:

• The Wizard can only be used with standard LED Tiles. MiPIX, MiSPHERE and

creative OLite displays require the Director Toolset.

• The Director Toolset is still required for wall color calibration, tile firmware

updates, and for creating and applying custom gamma curves.

 Use the following steps to run the Setup Wizard:

1. Please note the following important Setup Wizard prerequisites:

~ Ensure that your LED wall is properly connected to LED-PRO, and that

power is enabled to all devices.

~ Ensure that you know how your LED wall is cabled (e.g., horizontally or

vertically), as shown below:

Horizontal Cabling Vertical Cabling

• When “In Auto Acquire” is enabled, the input video format will be detected in the

following search order:

~ Last used configuration for the selected input channel

~ Any saved input configuration

~ Any custom library formats created by the user

~ Standard library formats

~ “Best guess” format, to the closest format in library

• If the video format is a “best guess,” it will be displayed within asterisks.

• When “In Auto Acquire” is off, LED-PRO attempts to lock to the input video

format selected by the user. If the currently selected format does not match the
input signal for the selected channel, the display remains black and the menu
indicates "Invalid Signal."

 To change the input video format:

1. Select the input that you wish to change.

2. On the Input Setup Menu, select the top “Input Format” line. The navigation
cursor (>) changes to the edit cursor (#).

3. Use the knob to select the desired format. Press SEL to accept.

4. Repeat from step 1 for additional inputs, as required.

Note

p~гйдбеЦ

In order to scale an image, it must first be digitized. This is the process of changing the
analog graphics signals (e.g., Red, Green, and Blue) into pixels that are stored in LED­PRO’s image memory. Two modes are available:

• The “oversample” mode produces more samples than are present in the original

input image. The oversampled image is then scaled to the final output resolution.

• The “1:1 Sampling” mode produces a superior image by sampling the analog

video signal at exactly the same rate as the original source. This method allows
the image to be re-constructed with reduced digitizing artifacts.

LED-PRO • User’s Guide 69

If “In Auto Acquire” is enabled, LED-PRO may change a
manually selected format back to a format that it
automatically detects.

4. Operation

Using the Expert Mode Menu

Please note:

• The 1:1 mode requires very accurate settings, as even a small sampling error can

cause noise on the output image.

• Both the sample clock frequency and phase must be correct to obtain a properly

sampled image.

• LED-PRO incorporates automatic adjustments in the 1:1 sampling mode.

 To change the sampling mode:

1. On the Input Setup Menu, select Sampling.

2. Choose either OverSample or 1:1, and press SEL to accept.

Please note:

• 1:1 is the default setting.

• The OverSample option is only available for RGB and YPbPr analog inputs. All

other input types have defined sample clocks that are inherently 1:1. If the input is

Figure 4-60. Processing Menu (sample)

Following are descriptions of each menu function:

• Sync Sel — this function applies to analog RGB inputs only. The digital input

sources have embedded syncs, and the composite, S-video, and YPbPr inputs
always will take the sync from the Y (or composite) channel. For these inputs, the
value field will indicate n/a.

~ Choices are: Auto, H/V, CSync and SOG.

~ In Auto mode, the system will find sync in any of the three possible

sources. If one of the sources is explicitly chosen, the system uses only
that input as a sync source, unless it finds there is no sync input present
— in which case it acts as if Auto mode is enabled.

• DeIntlc — in order to process an interlaced source, LED-PRO must first de-

interlace the image. De-interlacing is the process by which interlaced video is
converted to progressive format. Please note:

~ Interlaced video — even lines are scanned during one field and odd

lines are scanned during the next field.

~ Progressive video — lines in the frame are sequentially scanned.

LED-PRO utilizes an advanced Motion Adaptive De-interlacing (MAD)
techniques to de-interlace most video sources up to HDTV (1920 x 1080i) rates.
When the MAD de-interlacing mode is selected, maximum video processing delay
is 2 input fields (or 3 fields, if the output is not frame-locked to the input).

An alternate mode, Field to Frame (Fld->Frm), avoids motion artifacts by
converting individual input fields to progressive output frames. While vertical
resolution will be reduced in this mode, a significant reduction in video processing
delay is achieved.

• Pulldown Comp — this function allows you to enable or disable 3:2 Pulldown

Detection. The function should be enabled to process video derived from film

Using the Expert Mode Menu

~ When LED-PRO detects Macrovision copy protection on the incoming

YPbPr NTSC/PAL video, the value is automatically repositioned to 60mV
to account for the reduced amplitude sync pulse.

Note

The default Sync Slice level has been optimized for virtually
all sources that will be encountered and should rarely, if ever,
require adjustment. However, the ability to adjust the level is
provided to improve sync detection and synchronization in
cases of extremely noisy RGsB or YPbPr video signals.

deinterlacing — in order to convert a video format.

LED-PRO • User’s Guide 83

4. Operation

Using the Expert Mode Menu

• Enable the “minimum delay” mode when an another image processor (such as an

Encore or ScreenPRO-II) is used to process the video and create multiple
windows. The external processor then feeds LED-PRO in a progressive 800x600
format. In this case, LED-PRO does not need to scale the image, and operates in
a “minimum delay” mode so as not to introduce additional delay into the system.

For the “minimum delay” function to work properly:

• V Lock or HV Lock must be enabled on the Lock to Source Menu.

• V Size on your input must match V Size on the output.

Note

On the Mode line, enable or disable Minimum Delay.

If either of the two prerequisites are not met, an error
message will be shown.

• When Off, status is n/a, and the delay through the system is no greater that 1.5

frames.

• When On, delay through the system is a maximum 20 lines, and status reads

“Active.”
