Introduction
The DLite System Control Software is designed preliminary as a user interface to be used with BARCO Digitizer and DLite Display in a windows environment (Windows 95/ Windows 98/ Windows NT).
The Control Software can be used to control the Barco Digitizer/DLite Display when connected through a serial RS232 connection
Implemented Features
1.1.Introduction
The DLite System Control software resides in the Taskbar during startup, is always resident. The software is divided in two main parts:
DLite System Control Software Dialog
This window gives the user access to ALL controls to the DLite System

Chapter 1 Introduction
Monitoring
This part window resides in the Taskbar and can be accessed by clicking the right mouse button over the icon. This part is important for monitoring the DLite System. The software keeps monitoring
(when enabled) even when the DLite System Control Software Dialog is closed.
1.2.Setup
The user can choose between the Initial Tile Setup or the Guided Setup Wizard (where the system will ask the user, step by step to provide the necessary information).
The Setup allows the user to make the DLite Display setup in an simple manner. The user can change the Display layout (number of rows, number of columns and the linking orientation), while the system takes care of Automatic Addressing, Automatic Positioning and Automatic Configuration.
1.3.System Control
The control software visualizes the DLite Display in its real configuration, providing the following features:
EASY ACCESS TO ALL SETTINGS
By simply clicking on a tile, the user can access all its settings (Tile properties, general settings, chroma adjustment, individual correction data,)
ALTER DLITE DISPLAY CONFIGURATION BY DRAG AND DROP

The three main parts of the DLite Display System are: the DLite Display (that consists of different DLite Display tiles), the Daylight Display Digitizer (that takes care of all video conversion and conditioning) and the DLite Display Control Software (that controls the Digitizer as well as the DLite Display tiles).
Different sources can be displayed with this system: Composite Video (2x), S-VHS (2x), Component Video,

RGB, SDI and PC Data. Its the Daylight Display Digitizer that processes all source signals for digital distribution to every DLite display
tile. The Digitizer can be accessed directly or via the DLite Display Control Software. This software is designed as a user interface to be used with the Daylight Display Digitizer and the DLite Display and can be used when connected to the Digitizer through a serial RS232 connection.
Getting Started with the DLite Display System
To get started with the DLite Display System act do as follows
1. MAKE SURE...
· To have the software installed properly
· To have made the proper connections between Display & Digitizer and between Digitizer & Controlling PC
2. ACCESS FROM THE TASKBAR
When one starts up the DLite software for the first time, an icon appears in the taskbar.
This icon represents the DLite Software being resident in the Taskbar. The DLite System Control Software Dialog also appears simultaneously.
Setting up a DLite Display Configuration and controlling the entire system is always done from the box shown above. However, when one closes this box, this doesnt close down the software because it remains resident in the taskbar.

Here the DLite Display can be configured without following the guided setup wizard.
1.TILE ADDRESSING
SELECT THE DLITE DIMENSIONS
Select the desired number of rows and columns or use the corresponding arrows. The number of tiles will be changed automatically. Also the Start Tile can be initialized (i.e. the address of the first tile, the tile that is connected to the Digitizer).
SELECT THE LINK ORIENTATION
Select the start corner, this is the place of the first tile (i.e. the tile that is connected to the Digitizer) in the display.
Select the Link Direction to define the way tiles are connected to each other (H / V).
AUTOMATICALLY EXECUTE TILE POSITIONING
Tile Configuration or Database Creation by selecting the corresponding check box.
TILE ADDRESSING BUTTON
Clicking this button will start giving each tile its individual address, starting with the first tile that gets the address you chose as start-address.
The progress of the addressing is displayed in the DLite Display Progress Info-window. When done, scroll through it using of the scrollbar or save the log by opening a popup menu with the right mouse button.

2.TILE POSITIONING
Define the horizontal and vertical start position of the incoming video. The information of one video image consists of several video lines. On such line contains more information than only the visual picture information (e.g. sync pulse, color burst,). The time between the start of the line and the start of the picture information is defined as the horizontal start position.
In the same way the information of one video image contains more information than only the several video lines. The time between the start of the image information and the first actual video line with picture information is defined as the vertical start position.
Do as follows:
1.Select the desired horizontal and vertical start position values
2.Clicking TILE POSITIONING, gives each tile its individual position in relation to the incoming video-signal, each tile position is calculated according to the start position. The progress of the positioning is displayed in the DLite Display Progress Info-window. When done, scroll through it using of the scrollbar or save the log by opening a popup menu with the right mouse button.

3.DISPLAY CONFIGURATION FILES
A configuration file is the storage of the real configuration. It stores the addressing and the positioning of the display and the Tile Configuration (i.e. the correction data for the quadrants, the chroma measurements data and some general info for each tile separately). Saving of such a configuration file can be interesting when disassembling a configuration; when assembling it again the system doesnt have to collect all the information from the tiles again, but can load it from the configuration file. In the DLite DISPLAY CONFIGURATION FILE-window one can read the last loaded configuration file. For loading a previous configuration file act as follows
1.Click LOAD FROM DISK to enter the following screen
2.Select the configuration file to open or fill in the name in the FILE NAME-screen.
3.Click OPEN For saving the actual configuration file do as follows:
1.Click SAVE FROM DISK to enter the following screen
2.Select the configuration file to save (then this file will be overwritten) or fill in a new file name in the FILE
NAME screen.
3.Click SAVE.

4.DISPLAY ACTIONS
Downloads information about the tiles in the actual display.
DOWNLOAD TILE CONFIGURATION
Downloads the Tile Configuration, i.e. the correction data for each quadrant, the chroma measurement data and general info for each tile separately. The actual Configuration File (the file seen in the DLite Display
Configuration File window) will be overwritten with this information. To store this information on disk, follow the
instructions to save a configuration file to disk.
DOWNLOAD TILE DATABASE
Download the Tile Database, which stores the Correction Data for every single LED of a tile. This information is stored in a file for each tile separately which is linked to the tiles serial number. One can manipulate this database afterwards in the DATABASE MANAGEMENT of the DLite SYSTEM CONTROL.
The progress of the downloading is displayed in the DLite Display Progress Info window. When done, scroll through it using of the scrollbar or save the log by opening a popup menu with the right mouse button.
5.DISPLAY RESOLUTION INFORMATION
This shows the possible Resolution Modes and which Resolution Mode is active. The active resolution mode is colored blue. The DLite Display is identified in gray.
6.DISPLAY PROGRESS INFORMATION
Shows the progress of the communication when executing an action. Afterwards one can scroll through it by use of the scrollbar. By clicking the right mouse button the following popup menu appears
<Save Log> saves the log to a file <Print Log> prints
